Photobloggers Exposed: Photography in 3-D

Part of: Photobloggers Exposed

Three different photographers, with three very different styles, all with one thing in common: a passion for photography along with the desire to share. Allow me to introduce you to Daniel Seguin, David Desjardins, and Dean Sherwood.

An Ottawa native and Montreal resident, Canadian photographer, Daniel Seguin has been in love with photography since he was a kid. He often found himself the “photographer of the day” for family events, using his parents’ old Canon reflex camera, and then later served as photographer for his High School yearbook, processing and printing his own images. Then, like many photographers, Life happened, and Daniel set his camera down for a while, only to become reacquainted with his first love years later. Now, as a recent graduate of Concordia University in Montreal with a Master’s degree, Daniel manages to find the time to take the incredible photographs that fill his photoblog Genestho.ca :: Make It happen.

Daniel’s work can easily be described with one word: Magnificent. His grand style gives the viewer a glimpse of his unique perspective of the world. His images range from the majestic Canadian landscape to the hidden corners of Montreal. They are crisp, exact, thoughtful and passionate.  Citrus Sunset by Daniel Seguin

Daniel’s blog is an exciting journey into his world. Updated almost daily, Daniel sees it as cyclical. He shoots to fill his photoblog; his photoblog is there to inspire him to shoot. He celebrated his one year anniversary for his photoblog this past July, with a collage of all the year’s posts. There, he eloquently explains the significance and impact of photoblogging:

Throughout the year, I’ve been fortunate to meet some fabulous people through whom I’ve better learned to see the possibilities and I've found that there is no real right answer out there. For this, I am grateful. Thank you all for having shared in my experience. This photoblog and I have only co-evolved as a result of your visits, prompting reflection, dialogue, and learning...
What’s next for Daniel? With his vision and his new degree, the possibilities are endless. Like most of us who see photography as a journey, he plans to practice his technique, learn through experience, and continue to participate in the photoblogging community. He writes that he would also like to somehow integrate his photography with his work in client systems. Whatever he does next, surely he will Make It Happen.

    I get frustrated reading articles like this because of the limits on image size for our articles, but I enjoyed reading it.

    Thanks Dave-the point I'm trying to make is that we should have a system in place that we can click on an image and it'll enlarge HERE instead of sending traffic to another site.

    I get frustrated when I'm doing an astronomy article and I'm trying to describe a solar system that I can only put in an image about three times the size of a postage stamp!
