Award-winning Aerial Photographer Brad Walls has teamed up with The English National Ballet to create a unique photographic series shot from above. The photoshoot took place at the newly designed English National Ballet studio in Canning Town, North London and features six of the English National Ballet’s Corp de Ballet dancers.

Walls’ goal for the project was to disrupt traditional ballet photography, shifting its focus from individual dancers to the ballet corp. He believes that the beauty of ballet lies in its delicacy and teamwork rather than focusing on a singular dancer in a dramatic pose. Using only a drone, Walls created a series of 14 images that emphasize harmonious shapes and patterns captured from a height of 5-10 meters above the ground.

Investing in a quality fine art photography print with subject matter such as a landscape scene can be a valuable addition to your home. And to be specific, the ‘value’ that we are referring to is not the price tag attached to it, but rather the feelings and emotions you experience when viewing an art piece that speaks to you.

Although there are many reasons to invest in fine art photography, your home is your sanctuary, and the décor you choose creates an atmosphere that has a strong impact on how you think and feel. Your home is an extension of your tastes and should speak to who you are.

Portuguese photographer André Boto has won the title of overall winner of the 2022 edition of the Creative Photo Awards, the competition dedicated to artistic and creative photography at the Siena Awards. The image shines the spotlight on pollution in a clever and thought-provoking way.

“Pollution is a real problem that affects us all,” says  Boto about his image titled ‘The False illusion’. “There are often attempts to camouflage or minimize this problem,” he continues, “the big manufacturing companies and the powers that be try to hide an issue that is real and brings sequels, creating the illusion that it is a distant problem, but in fact, we are already facing it today and leave with a great disadvantage to solve it at this moment.”

Ever since Anna Atkins‘ first experiments in botanical cyanotypes in the late 1700s, women have been involved in photography. It’s easy to name several influential women who unarguably had a big impact on the photography industry, Annie Liebovitz, Dorothea Lange, Sally Mann, and Tina Modotti, amongst others.

They are the rockstar photographers who we all know and love. But we mustn’t forget that there were many influential women photographers working throughout the years who have all contributed to changing the way we see the world and interact within it. Here are a handful of those women photographers who you may not have heard of.

Would you volunteer 100 plus hours of your photographic services? According to Colorado-based photographer David Hayden, it might be worth considering.

But David told DIYP about how an unpaid photography gig has reaped multiple rewards and turned out far better than he ever imagined.

Have you ever thought about the term ‘fine art landscape photography‘ and wondered what it means?

Some styles such as photojournalism or commercial photography are actually the opposite of fine art, as they exist to record events or literal reality or to advertise products or services.

A lot of people seem to think I have this giant space. I do not. I actually never had more space than those 2 converted bedrooms I work in now and not so long ago I rented a small, bedroom-sized commercial space. And even before that, I used to work in my studio between my bed and desk. And going even further back, I had to sit on my bed to even be able to shoot a half body. I started working with clients in the time I had a one-room living studio space. Good times.
