Photobloggers Exposed: Photographers From Around the World - Page 2

Lee’s images can also evoke feelings of nostalgia of an ancient culture in a modernized land.  “I would love to show exclusively photos with a Japanese flavor, but time and creativity are unfortunate restraints.  So, occasionally there's stuff I post that looks like it could have been taken anywhere.”   

Shooting mostly black and white images, Lee's subject matter is indicative of his environment.  People in their natural settings, often unaware and uninhibited, natural structures or abandoned industrialization, and magnificent landscapes and seascapes all beautifully grace the pages of Lee’s photoblog.  

Exploration is Lee’s passion and photography is the vehicle.  “Having a camera allows me to see [the] world in new and interesting perspectives.”  Having that camera allows us to see Lee’s world, too.  When he returns to New Zealand after his three years of teaching, Lee hopes to exhibit his images from Japan.  Until then, we get a glimpse of his life through his photoblog.  

Every now and then you may come across an artist who, through his work, can evoke emotion, mystery, or even abstraction.  There are few that can do this, that can transport the viewer to another time and space, almost to another state of existence, almost like a dream. 

Near the town of Eindhoven in The Netherlands lives photographer, musician, and poet, Dimitrios Pananakis.  A casual shooter perhaps, but certainly no novice, Dimitrios attempts to recreate dreams with his ethereal photography on his blog: Imagechoes.

Dimitrios began shooting in the mid-90s as an alternative to his highly technical and specialized job in the field of medical technology.  Born in Greece, he later relocated to The Netherlands for work. 

A passion for art has been with Dimitrios his entire life, but photography was the medium that was able recreate the visions in his head best.  “Everything I shoot is part of some dream”, explains Dimitrios. His photoblog began in March of 2006 as a means to display and share his reflections and dreams. 

Dimitrios’ images can be best described as ethereal, almost unearthly, and many times sensitive and sentimental.  He shoots mostly color images, often of landscapes, but mostly anything that is able to aptly illustrate the inner-workings of a beautiful mind.
