Art/Architecture Photography: Bert Danckaert

Art/Architecture Photography: Bert Danckaert | Backstage Rituals | Scoop.it

There’s been a trend of recent years, we’ve noticed, by certain photographers, to find beauty in the mundane, often-run down surroundings of our urban life. But as one can clearly see, though plenty of great work exists, Bert Danckaert’s work has just got that little something extra that is making these photos of abandoned buildings and other structures really stand out from the rest.

Brief Encounter

Brief Encounter | Backstage Rituals | Scoop.it

Brief Encounters, a 2012 documentary directed by Ben Shapiro,  follows acclaimed photographer Gregory Crewdson’s decade-long quest to create a series of haunting, surreal and stunningly elaborate portraits of small-town American life — a depiction of a disturbing and imperfect world.  Crewdson’s fascinating photographs are elaborately staged, well-designed narratives compressed into a single image. Many of them taken at twilight, set in small towns of Western Massachusetts or meticulously recreated interior spaces, built on the kind of sound stages associated with big-budget movies.

Sophie Martin's curator insight, April 6, 2:27 PM

"Some of T. Enami’s most popular and memorable works were his stereograms: two nearly-identical 2D images taken from slightly different angles that, when viewed together through a stereograph, appear three-dimensional. Here they are animated to give the 3D effect"

Sebastião Salgado: The silent drama of photography | Video on TED.com

Economics PhD Sebastião Salgado only took up photography in his 30s, but the discipline became an obsession. His years-long projects beautifully capture the human side of a global story that all too often involves death, destruction or decay.
