SHOW ME PICTURES: Archive

I recently took a trip to the beautiful city of Arles for the final weekend of Rencontres d’Arles. An inspirational place and festival of photography, offering so much variation and scope of imagery it was almost overwhelming. Arles presented such heavy weights as Wolfgang Tillmans, Gordon Banks (a sublime retrospective of Banks’ photographic and film career), Sugimoto, Arno Rafael Minkkinen, Erik Kessels, Pieter Hugo, John Davies, Viviane Sassen and so many more.

The above were definitely up there in terms of highlights, with Minkkinen perhaps on the top of that pile. Viviane Sassen was a surprise for me. Wolfgang Tillmans exhibition New World presented photographs from the artist’s new group of works of the same name, which were created in the course of numerous journeys across the world.

30 Unconventional Portraits That Defy Clichés

While the standard portrait formula works well and produces nice images, it's often a good exercise to think outside the box. This grouping of unconventional portraits (including self portraits) is creative work by photographers willing to take the risk to produce something memorable. While you might not find them all pleasing, they do offer a fresh take on an old format. Copyright inottawa A shot within a shot, this image uses technology to enhance the picture.

Copyright Sukanto Debnath I love the action and stillness in this photo. Copyright wili_hybrid While this is an HDR image, I feel the artist does a good job of using it to highlight the captain and not overdo it.
