Photobloggers Exposed: Photographers From Around the World - Page 3

Poetry most often accompanies each image that Dimitrios posts to his blog.  “The poetry tries to reflect the reason I shot the photograph, although sometimes it becomes an extension of my thoughts, not only about the subject of the [image] but of the world in general.” 

In addition, on his website, the viewer is invited to listen to the ambient music composed by Dimitrios himself.  Provocative, emotive, and sublime, a tour through Dimitrios’ photoblog is sure to inspire.  

Simplicity and grace are words that can be used to describe the lovely photoblog by Emma Townsend, Photoblogster.  Emma is an amateur photographer living in Reading, England, a city outside of London.  She works in marketing for a software company and uses photography as a creative outlet.

Emma always had an interest in photography and the printed image, but it wasn’t until she received her first SLR that her passion was unleashed.  She enrolled in a photography course where she studied the fundamentals of photography including darkroom technique. 

About midway through her course Emma discovered photoblogging and conceived Photoblogster.  Since then she’s enjoyed the community involved with photoblogging and has even encouraged her father and sister to start their own photoblogs. 

“Photoblogging and the community has been way more [fun] than I ever imagined it would be.  Looking at others’ work is really inspiring and makes you want to try new things and new techniques.” 

Emma’s images are clean, crisp, and free from all the frills and over-processing that has become so common.  Her subject matter consists of scenes from the everyday.  “Typical everyday observations,” she says to describe her work, “I like to make normal things look interesting.” 

And so she does. Fom moody landscapes to delicate flowers, Emma has the ability to bring beauty out of the mundane.  Her real strength lies in her portraits where she effectively can bring out the soul of a person with a simple click of the shutter. 

Although she’s happy with photography as a hobby, Emma may pursue more serious photographic endeavors in the future including possible gallery representation.  Until then she will continue to shoot, learn, and grow as a photographer.
