Street Photography from Singapore by Danny Santos II

Posted on September 26, 2011 by Michael

Watch this fantastic street photography from Singapore by Danny Santos II. Being a graphic designer by trade, he’s been shooting strangers in Orchard Road on his weekends since 2008.

Here are a few of my favorite shots from different series:

Portraits of Strangers (“taken with permission, close up headshots of beautiful strangers in Orchard Road”)

Bad Weather (“The rain always brings refreshingly interesting scenes on how people react with it”)

Women Being Beautiful (“From subtle mannerisms to blaring styles, women always have a way of being beautiful”)

City Strollers (“Different strides of different personalities captured in full-body shots while strolling in Orchard Road”)

See more brilliant pictures taken in Orchard Road on Danny’s website and Flickr page.

If you are a photographer yourself, be sure to check out Danny’s blog, where he shares his experiences and valuable tips.

Homage to Jorge Luis Borges

Posted on September 18, 2011 by Michael

Brazilian film director Ian Ruschel created this atmospheric homage to the Argentinian poet Jorge Luis Borges.

Poets, like the blind, can see in the dark
Jorge Luis Borges

The underlying music was composed by the grandiose Gustavo Santaolalla for the film The Motorcycle Diaries. His music sends shivers down my spine – every time!

Bond on Set Series by Greg Williams

Posted on September 15, 2011 by Michael

Outstanding behind the scenes and on set photography of the last three James Bond movies (Die Another Day, Casino Royal & Quantum of Solace) by British photographer Greg Williams.

Greg describes his time on film Sets as the ultimate photographic education. He learnt his lighting technique from observing many of the worlds finest cinematographers at work and today lights nearly exclusively with film industry lighting as opposed to strobe. He also learnt about giving direction.

His visual record of the creation of the Bond movies was published in the “Bond on Set” books series.
