Photobloggers Exposed: Photography in 3-D - Page 2

Another Montreal resident, and Blogcritics writer, David Desjardins maintains the photoblog Postcards from The End. A systems administrator for an IT firm by day, David fulfills his creative urges through his photography.

David’s style can best be described as pensive. His images are very often soft and calm, depicting the quieter edges of Montreal. From architecture to nature, from the still life to the abstract, David’s images illustrate his introspection and his willingness to let his sensitive side be known, while still maintaining an edge. 

David began shooting when he was introduced to photography in art school. He began his photoblog in early 2005, with PFTE being the updated incarnation. He began his photoblog first as a simple outlet for his art, a place to display and share his work. He then became more involved with viewing other photoblogs, entering the community of photobloggers in which, as David describes “the sharing with other photobloggers and getting to know other styles and types is just sublime for the artistic heart.”

For future projects, David would like to explore some creative portraiture. But for now, he enjoys the intimacy involved with close-up and macro photography. Where his photography will take him is anyone’s guess. With little pressure on himself to produce, David allows himself to be creative when the moment speaks to him. “If you try to force art, it won’t come out [right]”, he says, “…I don't really have plans or goals. I do it (photography) because the act of doing it is its own reward.”

Across the pond, in Lincolnshire, UK, lives photographer Dean Sherwood. Dean’s gritty, high-energy, impactful images can be found at his photoblog Post79. When not photographing, Dean is also a health club manager and full time student.

Dean fell into photography quite by accident when one day he picked up the wrong magazine, and purchased Photography Monthly. He took it home and read it, and was immediately inspired to purchase a camera. The rest, as they say, is history.
