I found this beautiful photo series Strangers by photographer Shane Connaughton. There’s something so quiet and serene about them, the way they’re grainy and ambiguous in subject. The series is shot in a photo journalistic way, but leans more towards conceptual and abstract; less focused on subject and more so on the comprehensiveness of daily life. That is exactly what makes it unique-it’s journalism and art at the same time, which is not an easy feat.

Light Painting
Spooky? Ethereal? Beautiful? All of the above. Meet JANNEPAINT, or Janne Parvianinen, a light painter and photographer from Finland. With the project description “straight from the camera, no post editing”, Parvianinen gives us something that stands out amongst the popular photography trend.

Photographer Michael Wolf’s ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ serves as a documentary of the ups and downs (literally) of daily human life. Setting up a camera and tripod, Wolf takes pictures of Google Street View images and captures everything from people falling off bikes to cars on fire.
Reminiscent of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s 'decisive moment’ and the humorous photos of Weegee, this series is a redefined and modernized approach to photojournalism. Some praise him for his smart series and others accuse him of appropriating the images from Google. I personally see this series as an amusing look at humanity; it’s something that we, as humans, can all relate to when it comes to the smaller disasters of daily life-that moment you fall off your bike in front of others, that moment you can’t hold it, that moment your car starts smoking…
Not to mention, we all take part in the voyeurism that is today’s internet. Maybe Wolf is the ultimate troll of Google Street View!
See more of the series at Word Press Photo, who awarded Wolf with an Honorable Mention in 2011.
Michael Wolf - Hong Kong: Front Door/Back Door (published 2005)
“Wolf’s trip through one of the most densely populated areas of the world is also a journey through a strangely underpopulated place, inhabited only by the traces of city dwellers.
The dark back alleys that crisscross the city are home to objects that, at first glance, seem to be discarded—the random detritus of the man-made world. Under the scrutiny of Michael Wolf’s photographic eye, these objects become fascinating installation pieces, while the abstract patterns of the buildings reveal the beauty and order that underlie the apparent chaos of the city.”
