CoolArt: Flickr roundup
I like to keep an eye on photos on Flickr to keep visually stimulated. I’ve written about a couple photographers from Flickr on this blog (1 2). Here’s a quick roundup of other photographers, tags, and pools that I find cool.
[note: I’d have included more example photos as I normally do in CoolArt, but most of these folks are not using a creative commons license and didn’t respond to my email asking for permission (sigh)]
Update: Janebug gave me permission to use her images in this post, so now the place is decorated. Thanks Janebug!
Photographers
- Coquita - (Buenos Aires, Argentina) Coquita has an intriguing way of seeing the world. Her photos have an appealing intimacy to them and a willingness to experiment. (My favorites: 1 2 3 4)
Janebug - (Manchester, UK) great at moody atmosphere in places & things. (My favorites: 1 2 3)- Frans Peter Verheyen - (Groningen / Rotterdam, the Netherlands) I like Verheyen’s photos of people the most as well as his cinematic examples (he’s a cinematographer). (My favorites: 1 2 3)
- Iguana Jo - (Modena, Italia) crisp composition; sometimes surreal; often very visually interesting. (My favorites: 1 2 3 4 5)
- Bartu - Bartu has very few photos on Flickr, but those that are up are quite good. Definately check out her excellent photo essay El Campo y su gente
- !efatima - Go see efatima’s photos and come back here - I bet you the word “colorful” is now in your mind. Great place to go when the world seems monochrome. (My favorites: 1 2 3)
- Cuellar - (Madrid, Spain) mostly does scenic photography, but also quite good at capturing quiet moments with people (yes, I’ve got a bit of a bias). (My favorites: 1 2 3 4)
- athomic - weird, surreal, comical; always interesting. (My favorites: 1 2 3 4 5)
- Alvise Forcellini - (cameroon) Good photojournalism from Cameroon, India, and northern Africa. He’s especially good at capturing children at play. (My favorites: 1 2 3)
- dtc - (ottawa, canada) more good street photography. (My favorites: 1 2)
