Wide-Angle Macro Photography

By Dr Caesar Sengupta / 8 minutes of reading

Using a wide-angle lens to capture a small subject within its natural habitat can be a powerful way to create immersive, storytelling images. By including the surrounding environment, this perspective transports the viewer into the scene, making them feel part of the subject’s world. It not only reveals the subject’s fine details but also places them in context – highlighting the delicate balance between the organism and its ecosystem. The result is a visually striking image that invites the audience to step closer, allowing them to experience the world from the subject’s point of view.

The Art of Motion and Light: A Journey into Wildlife Photography

By Mohammad Murad / 7 minutes of reading

In a world that chases sharpness and technical perfection, I’ve chosen to embrace something different – motion, light, and emotion. My wildlife photography isn’t just a way to document the world as it is – it’s a way to interpret, to express, and to invite others into the stories I see in the wild. It’s my personal language, one that speaks not only through subjects but through how they move and glow under nature’s changing light.

Minimalism Through High-Key Photography

By Stefan Gerrits / 7 minutes of reading

Minimalism in photography isn’t about having less; it’s about revealing more by removing what are, in my opinion, distractions. It’s about creating space: space for the subject to breathe, and space for the viewer to pause and feel. In the following section, I’ll share a few practical tips I often use to bring simplicity into my work. They’re not strict rules, as the creative mind doesn’t fit in a box or, in terms of photography, a grid, but guiding ideas to help you focus on what matters in an image. Think of them as suggestions, things that work for me but might not necessarily work for you. This is simply my perspective. A vision. Minimalistic. Imaginative. Two-dimensional.

No More Naps

By Rupert Kogler / 6 minutes of reading

Aside from the fascinating patterns, structures, and light displays waiting to be discovered, photographing in these kinds of conditions also pays off in terms of equipment and technique. The bright light during a sunny day will result in very fast shutter speeds.

Therapy for Mind and Soul

By Reiner Hofer / 5 minutes of reading

In nature I can switch off and leave everyday life behind. The first chirping of birds before sunrise, the intense glow of mountain peaks in the last light of the day, the gentle pattering of rain on the leaves in the forest, when wisps of mist mysteriously drift across the landscape, or the colorful northern lights dance in the night sky – all these moments are of incomparable beauty to me.

What Makes a Good Astro Image?

By Konstantinos Themelis / 5 minutes of reading

With the constant pressure from social media, people often forget the most important part: enjoying the experience. At the end of the day, astrophotography is about getting outside and experiencing the night sky. Whether it’s lying on the beaches of Crete and watching the Milky Way set, or braving the Arctic cold to witness the Aurora Borealis, the goal remains the same — to connect with and experience something greater than ourselves.

The Wild Palette: Painting Nature Through My Lens

By Ganapathi Ram / 5 minutes of reading

Have you ever felt the rush of excitement when a subject finally aligns with the perfect light? Moments like these remind me why I love photography: capturing fleeting beauty that can never be replicated. Photographing subjects like langurs has taught me the value of patience.
More often than not, it’s the scene itself that sparks my creativity. When the right light and elements come together, I instinctively seek out subjects to complete the composition. While I occasionally find cooperative subjects, I sometimes struggle to find a compelling backdrop.
However, when a dramatic scene unfolds, my mind naturally begins to search for the perfect subject to complement it.

Artphotography Close to the Sea

By Mailén Palma / 6 minutes of reading

Series Apariciones, which means “Appearances”
Maybe showing only the surface is a defense mechanism,
or perhaps an energy-saving resource, I don’t know.
Just like the sea, there are also people
you need to dive into a little, show them genuine interest,
and then … only then, like the sea, do the appearances begin.
The fears, the enigmas, the mysteries … but also the magic! ✨

No Plans in Landscape Photography

By Lepe Olmedo / 6 minutes of reading

Starting from Buenos Aires, we headed to the Atlantic coast, visiting some of the simplest and most boring places for landscape photography: endless beaches with nothing but sand and water.

Oddly enough, this was exactly the kind of place I needed to reconnect with my camera, which I hadn’t used in months. There was still a bittersweet feeling from having left everything behind, and it seemed like my camera was the reason for it.
