Alexander Gronsky's photo projects made in Russia definitely made it to my favorites list.

Thank you for sharing. I found some of his editorials stunning. His ability to capture the moment, ambient, feelings and moods of his models is gorgeous.

I found that photography is as diverse as music. Different styles for different people. What I particularly liked on this photo was the feeling of continuous space, the industrial background and the surreal act of bathing in a frozen river. All in a static, pleasant composition.

The layering of his images reminds me of Gursky in some way, it's really neat and arranged, but so visually striking. Thanks a lot for sharing, I wasn't familiar with his works!

Yep, I also though of Gursky when I saw this. But I like him better. Though, you never know how you'll feel in front of a Gursky photograph the way the author meant it to be presented.
Quote:The first thing that strikes me upon seeing photographs by Andreas Gursky is their size, with several prints as large as 6’x12’ feet, they are monumental.

I saw several Gursky's - so to call them - on a trip to Munich, they were really impressive. In fact, they are impressive when seen in a book, looking at the actual print left me speechless. Same goes for Jeff Wall's lightboxes!

Jeffery Walls has a really interesting portfolio. Is he the one you were talking about?

These are really great--great in that they tell a visual story. You are right. This is a great photographer.

Nikon D3100 with Tokina 28-70mm f3.5, (I like to use a Vivitar .43x aux on the 28-70mm Tokina), Nikkor 10.5 mm fisheye, Quanteray 70-300mm f4.5, ProOptic 500 mm f6.3 mirror lens. http://donschaefferphoto.blogspot.com/

I believe we are not talking about the same photographer. Here's MOMA's collection: http://www.moma.org/collection/artist.ph...st_id=7826

Thanks for clearing it out. It seems like nowadays you can google almost any name and find a great photographer. Smile

Well, I don't know if thatțs the case in any situation, but here you just didn't get the name right. Oh, and you should see this: http://artblart.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/wall-c2.jpg - these are lightboxes I told you about. I believe it's quite a different way to show images, that's why I like it so much!

It sort of looks like a street panel Smile . But it does make the pictures livelier.

Yes, that's correct, it made to look like a street panel. You should see one with your own eyes, it's really big and it actually makes you feel you're inside a movie still yourself Smile
