Imre Drégely

I like the look of this work by hungarian photographer Imre Drégely. I saw his name and a couple of his pieces in the latest Silvershots magazine before guilt set in at buying so many photographic magazines in one trip! I wish I'd have bought it now. I love the way he combines photos to make a bigger, more abstract image. I think I'll give it a go.

See more of his stuff here.

If anyone knows anymore about this guy, please let me know. Cheers.

Earth From Space?

You'd think, but actually the pictures in Paul Kenny's 'Seaworks' are creations in which dried sea water is left to crystallise on acetate or glass plates to then be used as negs!


'Harvest Moon'

His 'Iceworks' series is equally unique and stunning. Check out his site here.

These images wouldn't look out of place in 'Heaven and Earth: Unseen by the Naked Eye'

Experimental Photography

Curtis Moffat created innovative colour still lifes and some of the most glamorous society portraits of the early 20th century, but for me, the best were his dynamic abstract photographs.



I recently went to see an exhibition of a few of his works at the V&A on until January 13th. "Curtis Moffat: Experimental Photography and Design, 1923-1935"

His 'pictographs' were great, made from negatives created simply by laying objects on a light sensitive material... something I have now tried!

On Waking Dreams

As I probably said before on more than one occasion, Susan Burnstine is another favourite of mine. This particular shot is taken from her 'On Waking Dreams' series.


'Bridge To Nowhere'

Burnstine makes her own cameras for shots like these resulting in shalow depth of field and limited focus... in my opinion great photographs. She regularly posts here on her blog.

Film Wasters

Filmwasters is a must for any experimental / toy camera (and in particular Holga-files) out there. With regular guest portfolios, the images on show go from thought provoking and deeply considered to experimental and sometimes apparently accidental!

The image above is 'In Anticipation Of A Journey' by Douglas Ethridge, a current guest on the site. On the list of regulars is Susan Burnstine another of my favourites!

The forum and blog are also work a look. Oh, and the new podcast is worth a listen.
