Feature Friday: Florencia Mazza Ramsay
I think yesterday's post was a sign of today's feature. Yes, spotlight's on the young and fierce Florencia Mazza Ramsay. I've spent days just looking at her photographs. And then looking again. They're beautiful. And they hit you precisely when she means to. They also have that vintage/film feel, which seems to be an "in" thing these days. Below are some of my favorites. And below the photos are links to more of her lovely photos.

Feature Friday: Giuliano Beckor
Now back to the usual set of features. Other than the part where I'm using one of his series as peg for a photoshoot tomorrow, I'm actually inspired by his work. Which is what Feature Fridays are all about. Love love love his photos. I can go on and on about how much I love them, but I'd let the photos below do that for me. Below are just few of the many crazy-amazing-fierce photographs you can find at the links below. I am such a fan.

Probably one of the less-fancy features, if not the simplest one. I was looking for something consistent when I started my search for this week's feature. That consistency, I believe, is present in her deviantart gallery. No fancy lights, no elaborate sets, no contortion, or extreme posing of sorts, just straight up and simple. Thing is, she gets it. That photography isn't all about the fancy stuff, it's capturing a moment, or any moment, that we intend to keep forever. It's that moment, and the emotion that's in it, that she captures. And for that, she deserves a feature. Because some day, she'd probably have those elaborate sets, lush costumes, and mad models. But today, we bask in simplicity.

Feature Friday: Elena Kalis
I'm not sure why I never featured her work here yet. Although I did reblog her stuff on my tumblr. I found her photographs via Hayley Willam's tumblr, and fell in love with the photos. I can't believe I haven't featured her yet, but I guess her works just came at the perfect time. Below are some of my favorites. She also has an Alice in Wonderland series that I've spared because you've got to see it on her site. They're simply breathtaking.
If this doesn't get you interested in underwater photography, I'm not sure what will. Considering my currently uninspired state, I'm gearing up to get some underwater gear to shoot. I want to shoot underwater now, too. And notice the red hair on the third photo. I'd love to have my hair dyed like that soon. Real soon. Actually, I will. But that's another story. Below are links to more of her awe-inspiring work.

Feature Friday: Mónica Barreneche
Saw her works on Behance while looking for inspiration for our recent fun shoot. This website has always come in handy for moments like those, where my mind's in 15 different places, and I need to focus. Her gallery, zoomed me right to where I needed to be. Which is why I'm sharing them today. Because her photographs are lovely.
Feature Friday: Daniil Timofeev
Vibrant. That is one word that best describes Daniil's photographs. Colors literally pop and take your breath away. I've been following his work for about five years now, and it's always inspiring. Below are some of my favorite works off his gallery.

Feature Friday: Aleksey Kozlov and Marina Khlebnikova
Amazing work of this dynamic duo from Russia. What is it with Russia and art? This is the second time I've featured a Russian duo. And their works are awesome. Below is a sample of my favorite set off their behance page.
And before you go "This looks 'shopped", it's not. These images were done old school. Treating and adding chemicals on film to create these images. Although I'd disagree with the "you can't do this in Photoshop", statement, they look epic.

Feature Friday: Paco Peregrin
There isn't much to say about this week's feature. Except that the images in his gallery were the very reason why I've always wanted to get into fashion photography. The ability to create images like these are absolutely mindblowing. That alternate reality that you see on the pages of a magazine, and that knowing, that every image was fruit of such talent, imagination, and effort. His behance gallery is such a joy (and awe) to browse.

Feature Friday: Danny Santos
I’ve always been jealous of people who fearlessly carry their cameras out on the streets to shoot. And they shoot anything, and everything. What makes me even more jealous is that some of them get the most candid, real, and interesting images. I’ve never had the guts to display my slr when I take a walk. Sure, it’s the “in” thing now, and SLRs have become a status symbol. So I’ve invested on film. And use this inconspicuous looking camera that no one would take seriously on the streets.
Danny Santos, would probably be the embodiment of a photographer that I admire/envy. I love his photos, and I love that he dedicates weekends to shoot, and that his shots cannot be called “snapshots”. They’re exactly what photojournalism is. Although not the type of photojournalism most people have in mind.
His photographs are beyond worthy of a feature. There’s life to it. There’s a story. And they’re always taken at that precise moment when it’s supposed to be frozen in time. Like any earlier or later, it wouldn’t be as stunning. Any person with a camera can take pictures of anything and come up with snapshots. But a true artist armed with a camera produces works like these that move you, and inspire you. Thank you sir, you’ve got me fired up to shoot the streets for Independence Day. *salutes*

Feature Friday: Andrey Yakovlev & Lili Aleeva
Behance has become my go-to of sorts these past few months, for visual inspiration. And what better place to look than there, when you get these inspirational images from the Russian duo Andrey Yakovlev & Lili Aleeva?
Their works are simply stunning, and inspiring. Almost thrusting me out that door, and into the insane weather, just to shoot. Below are links to more of this inspirational duo.
