Photographer Brian Maffit posted an amazing composite image on reddit that depicts a flock of hummingbirds swarming underneath the feeder. The “flock” was actually comprised of just a few birds over the course of a few hours whose ghosted images were reflected back using an angled glass mirror. The image was then further manipulated in Photoshop. Maffitt generously stated that he’ll be sharing a “how-to” on his blog. "If anyone is interested in the technical specs, this was shot with...

The street photography series “New York Up & Down” is a fascinating glimpse of New York City in the 1980s by photographer Frank Horvat. Horvat began photographing 70 years ago and his career has spanned photojournalism, fashion, and advertising. He talks about “New York Up & Down” in this L’Oeil de la Photographie article.

There is a dark, brooding beauty in these images that is singular and affecting. In The Solitude of Ravens, Fukase found a subject that reflected his darkening vision, and he pursued it with obsessive relentlessness. It remains his most powerful work, and a kind of epitaph for a life that has been even sadder and darker than the photographs suggest. Ravens have long stood as a symbol of power in Japanese mythology, but these days they tend to be seen more as a powerful nuisance. While their...

The images show often overgrown and sometimes destroyed buildings devoid of human life. I decided to pursue photography.

The Czech Fundamental exhibition is now in Italy with his shots able to touch the strings of the soul also of the non-experts. Over 170 works, 43 photographers, for an analysis of the soul that considers, using the Czech photography, the 20th century. A constant clash between scream and geography, chasing vain utopias to placate the anxiety, to find a place where to reconstruct an “self” fragmented, to recognize the subjectivity of the individual. A sense of loneliness and inadequacy that...
