A part of my chosen metier in life involves the delightful pursuit of creative and inspiring photographers and the images that they create. I cannot express how thrilling it can be to come across a portfolio that is original and draws in the eye in to relish the images. Here is a photographer triptych that showcases an inspiring and creative vision.

Dina Belenko

Dina is a conceptual still life photographer and visualises the animate within the inanimate. She likes to tell creative stories with her chosen objects exploring themes and topics like alchemy, geometry, chaos and motion. Her lively frames  burst with colour, form and endless imagination. She hails from Russia and some of her work reflects the idea of Suprematism,  a non representational style of art developed in Russia in the early 20th century and is characterized by severely simple geometric shapes. I must admit had to look this one up! For me though this is another joyful aspect of finding new photographers and tapping into their vision and what influences their work.

Luc Kordas

I met Luc at the  in New York and was immediately wowed by his portfolio. My immediate thought was the aptness of his work for book covers . He creates portraiture but it’s no ordinary portraiture, weaving a fantasy narrative into his work which is quite mesmerizing. One particular series which I almost inelegantly drooled over was his Fairy Tales series which spins a fine visual tale. His poetic sensibilities are also prevalent in his landscape, travel and street photography giving a pleasing cohesiveness to his work. Luc’s work has been described as dark, nostalgic, melancholic and mysterious.  He is as accomplished using black and white medium as in color and has been highlighted in a number of art magazines.

Michael Brian

I was looking to sign up a few animal photographers particularly images of domestic animals and I came across the website of , a photographer based in Los Angeles. His particular niche is dogs and his work brilliantly documents the increasing existence of dog culture in our society. What drew me to his work was the way he captures the barometer of emotions and moods in the canine persona. As with lifestyle photography, what is often more interesting are the nuances of the human emotion and the in between of deliriously happy or sad. As he relates in his website, he refers to his work as a photographer as a “platform to raise the global awareness of society to the magic dogs possess thru visual imagery. They have a message to deliver, and I take it upon myself to be the messenger”.
