Donald J Photography Portfolio 35 Beautiful Photography Websites Advertisement Interest in photography has exploded over the last 10 years, largely thanks to the developments in digital photography. Cameras and computers have become cheaper and more powerful, software more sophistocated and printers can now print photos that are as good (if not better) than anything produced in a chemical darkroom. Now, once you’ve acquired a digital setup, the economic restrictions of film and development costs have been removed and the cost of photography is virtually nil. Along with these developments in photography has been the parallel development of the Web. Ten years ago websites were largely clumsy, HTML driven constructions. The result is that photographers are finding new and exciting ways to showcase their best work online.

'He never hit her in front of me again' – Donna Ferrato's domestic abuse photos | Art and design For nearly four decades, the photojournalist Donna Ferrato has documented the effects of domestic violence on abused women and their families. Her book and series Living with the Enemy is one of the most important works on the subject. She launched a campaign in 2014 called I Am Unbeatable, which features women who have left their abusers. In 1981, Ferrato was commissioned by Playboy magazine in Japan to document the supposedly hedonistic lifestyle of Elisabeth and Bengt, a couple of New Jersey swingers. Here, she tells the stories behind some of the most potent images in the collection. Bengt Hits Elisabeth, 1982 “This is the moment that changed my life. “Late that night, I heard her screaming. “Philip Jones Griffiths, my then partner and president of Magnum photos, said: ‘Donna, I’ve never seen anything like this, just keep doing it. “I continued to spend time with them.

Erin O'Keefe - Erin O'Keefe Erin O'Keefe is a visual artist and architect based in New York City and New Brunswick, Canada. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Cornell University and a Master of Architecture from Columbia University. I am a visual artist and an architect, and my work is informed by both of these disciplines. My background in architecture is the underpinning for my art practice, providing my first sustained exposure to the issues and questions that I explore in my photographs. As a photographer, I am interested in the layer of distortion and misapprehension introduced by the camera as it translates three dimensional form and space into two dimensional image.

The ugly face of beauty | Witness Image India is one of the world’s largest producers of Mica, a silver-coloured, crystalline mineral. An extremely versatile mineral essential for the cosmetics industry, which gives shine to eye shadows, skin foundation and lipsticks. A mineral of inestimable value for companies operating in the cosmetics sector, able to create a turnover of billions of Euros in a market that sees amongst its protagonists China, India, United States and the European Union. The lucrative business of the Mica conceals a shameful secret: the massive use of child labor and women to extract the mineral from dangerous mines. Jaka Bulc Pyrros.fr - Des photos pour imager le Monde Venezuela's revolution of hunger: a photo essay For a time the “Saudi Arabia” of South America, today Venezuela more closely resembles Syria. Economically destroyed and socially unstable, the country is now fighting an ever more alarming spectre: hunger. In the slum of Petare in the metropolitan area of the capital, Caracas, refrigerators remain empty, supermarket queues grow longer and the necessity of procuring something to eat drives young people to violence. Community volunteers serve food to children at a kitchen run by Alimenta la Solidaridad, a local NGO working in Petare, in February 2019. A member of a kidnapping gang watches through the window to avoid a potential police raid. Many come together in armed gangs, plunder houses and shops, rob food from passersby and are paid in foodstuffs. The IMF predicts Venezuela’s inflation rate will reach 10 million per cent in 2019. A woman stares at her empty fridge at her house in Petare. A grandmother feeds her grandchild at a charity kitchen run by volunteers and an NGO. Absolutely.
