Mobile Photography

Sixty-one years ago, when Dorothy and Donald Lutz got married, there was one conspicuous absence as they recited their vows: the wedding photographer... he never showed up. And while they can't go back in time and right that wrong, graddaught-in-law and event planner Lauren Wells recently made sure that they would have a photo album worth envying.

24 Mobile Photographers offer an insight into their photography, their year gone by & plans ahead. Today's featured photographer is John Fullard.

I came across the work of John Fullard earlier this year while browsing Flickr groups and was instantly drawn to the quality and subject matter of his work. John is a mobile street photographer from New York. His work captures street scenes in the city and the characters that travel on the New York subway. John’s work has been featured in several Capturing the Moment showcases and was also the subject of a ‘Photo I Am Most Proud of‘ feature.

A fashion photographer's job is, at its most basic level, to draw attention to the clothes he or she has been asked to photograph. But how does one make their fashion shots stand out when there are so many more ut there, often bookending your own shoot inside the very magazine you're featured in?

His Fortune Cookie series features gravity-defying upside down models dressed in finery created by Pascal & Jeremie. In this fictional world Tremblay has created, the model immediately draws the viewer's eye because they are the one upside down occupant of a right-side-up world.

Notice there are a lot of black and white images. It's pretty common for street photography as it really narrows downt to the subject, light and shape.

Have you ever dreamed about quitting your day job to pursue your passion? If you have, you’re certainly not alone. At the young age of 9, Tan picked up his first camera and started taking pictures. Years later, the self-taught photographer makes his money by hauling his Canon EOS 1D X to Bondi beach each morning at sunrise to capture the waves, surfers, and sunrise.

Young Korean artist Jee Young Lee recently presented her beautiful, surrealistic and Photoshop-free photography exhibition named “Stage of Mind”. The magic happens in the artist’s small 3,6 x 4,1 x 2,4-meter studio in Seoul. The artist builds these highly dramatic, psychedelic and visually intense scenes herself, ensuring that every teeny tiny detail is hauntingly perfect and leaves the viewer in awe.

Jee Young Lee works with such precision that the creation of a set often takes weeks or even months of work. As soon as the otherworldly sets are done, the artist incorporates herself in them in various different ways and takes these stunning self-portraits.

According to the artist herself, all of the photography sets and her specific roles in them tell a particular story about her personal life experiences or resurrect traditional Korean fables or other cultural heritage from around the world. Her work is a deep self-reflection for the artist and a means to explore her psychological idenity.

One of the beauties of photography is that it can capture and preserve split-second moments that would normally be lost to the human eye. The following collection of 50 perfectly timed photos shows that not everything is always as it seems.

Examples include a diver shaking hands (or should we say fins?) with a humpback whale, a snowboarder taking a walk on the moon, President Obama holding the glowing evening sun in his hands, and a grasshopper riding a bicycle. Curious? Check out the album on the article.

The best 2013 selfies, didn't know that this existed well here is a series that may make you think twice about what you photograph next.

There are many, many traits needed to be a successful photographer. One of the most important of these is patience. Photographers need patience to learn their camera, their subject, their lighting, and their environment.

After ten months, 40+ hours of shooting, and over 5,000 photos later, Jack Fusco has created a beautiful timelapse entitled Home At The Shore.

Photographers have the power to make dreams come true, and if you've ever doubted that statement you won't after watching the video above and hearing the story behind it - a story that includes a sweet, sick woman's shy email, and a photographer's determination to come through no matter what.

A few commenters have on occasion joked that we need to add a "tenuous links to photography" category for those stories where, strictly speaking, there's not much photography involved. 

The video was shot by photographer Benjamin Scot (there’s your tenuous link…) and it captures his son Ward’s struggle to survive his first year of life after being born a full 14 weeks premature.

If the idea sounds familiar, that’s because Alexa Meade does something similar using entire scenes. Khokhlov’s series is different though, because it intentionally straddles the line between painting and reality, playing tricks on your mind, whereas Meade intends to fully convince you you’re looking at a painting and not a photograph.

The portraits in 2D or Not 2D sometimes look quite painted, and optical illusions frequently play a role in making you wonder if you’re looking at a two-dimensional object. But the majority of the photos give themselves away on purpose by leaving the models’ eyes open — two pools of reality in an otherwise two dimensional-looking object.
