A quick guide for you to shooting self-portraits. I will teach you here few important basic things for self-portrait photography and also give few resources for portrait photography to continue learning.
Every day, I roam the Street Photography gallery here on deviantART, and add the photos that define street to my Street collection. Often, I see a few photographers who always catch my eye, and I enjoy very much. This is a feature to those unknown street photographers that are at the top of their game, and are the definition of modern street photography.
Here are 100 (and a few more) of some very nice photographs on deviantART that I think should get some attention. Some already have a fair bit, but deserve it. So I'm giving them more.
What is the modern photography, and what is old-style photography?
Cartier-Bresson loved to catch the key-moment of a situation, the one that better described what he was living, what he was looking at. This was the wonder.
Robert Capa took incredible reportage pictures during the war. Heavy, stunnig, deep, very emotional shots.
Today, what is the wonder? The beauty of models and makeups in glamour? The wonderful details and colors of the modern cameras, helped by post-production? Great macro-shots? HDR?
Roland Barthes says that first the photography shooted the wonderful, the remarkable. Then it started claiming remarkable and wonderful what it shooted. Non meaningful, common and why-shooted? subjects.
Robert Doisneau is known to have posed his famous "Paris Kiss" photo. It's entirely possible that Cartier-Bresson did the same. Capa's famous Spanish civil war soldier image has been subject to fraudulent claims over the years.
They're all amazing photographers, there's no doubt about that, but I'd like to see how they work in todays ultra critical society.
I think there are still wonderful images out there to be seen. Reuters and Getty both employ talented photographers.
It's just there's so much imagery around today that it's hard to miss their work.
Now it's time for August 2008 Visual Art Features, many new art to discover!
Don't forget that many artists need to be viewed, they deserve it! Fave Fave Fave! My main purpose in doing a monthly feature about (to my point of view) 'the best visual art' is to put in the same level as well wellknown artists and popular creations as unknown artists and under-exposed creations. Artists need to be supported. So don't be shy!
Here's the Menu per Category :
Digital Paintings & Drawings | Mixed Media | PhotoManipulations | 3-Dimensional | Vector & Vexels | Photography | Traditional Paintings & Drawings | Artisan Crafts

With a gallery that takes you on a journey into another world, `spyroteknik has firmly secured a place as one of the top artists within our community. Always willing to participate in events as well as providing critique and guidance to members in such a humble yet inspiring manner is a quality which deserves recognition. So it's with great pleasure that we award this month's Deviousness to Martin Bland. Read More
