Paprika:simple is the best

"when it comes to bulding an image today, thinking big is the only way to go. your visual preference has to be planetary in scope because the world is your market.and, of course, the broadest possible perspective, working to standards that continualy raise the bar in our industry. we see a logo as a mission statement. a single store as a potential chain. a business card as a diplomatic passport. which is why we tend to attract clients who think of out biggest success stories by allowing us to explore and push the limits of grathic desigh in every dimension."

Bob Capa:the great wartime photographer

"The war correspondent has his stake — his life — in his own hands, and he can put it on this horse or that horse, or he can put it back in his pocket at the very last minute ... I am a gambler. I decided to go in with Company E in the first wave."
– Robert Capa
He risked his life on more than one occasion during the Spanish Civil War and had taken what is considered the most eerily fascinating of all war photographs. The famous image reportedly depicts the death of Spanish Loyalist militiaman Frederico Borrell Garcia as he is struck in the chest by a Nationalist bullet on a barren Iberian hillside.
Capa was known to say, "If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough." On D-Day, he came close once again.
Capa was squeezing off photographs as he headed for a disabled American tank. He remembered feeling "a new kind of fear shaking my body from toe to hair, and twisting my face." With great difficulty his trembling hands reloaded his camera. All the while he repeated a sentence that he had picked up during the Spanish Civil War: "Es una cosa muy seria" ("This is a very serious business").

Henri Cartier-Bresson the master

Regarded as one of the greatest photographers of his time, Henri Cartier-Bresson was a shy Frenchman who elevated "snap shooting" to the level of a refined and disciplined art. His sharp-shooter’s ability to catch "the decisive moment," his precise eye for design, his self-effacing methods of work, and his literate comments about the theory and practice of photography made him a legendary figure among contemporary photojournalists.

He has said that a sense of human dignity is an essential quality for any photojournalist, and feels that no picture, regardless of how brilliant from a visual or technical standpoint, can be successful unless it grows from love and comprehension of people and an awareness of ‘man facing his fate."

Eugène Atget:one of my favorite

Distinguishing characteristics of Atget's photography include a wispy, drawn-out sense of light due to his long exposures, a fairly wide view that suggested space and ambiance more than surface detail, and an intentionally limited range of scenes avoiding the bustling modern Paris that was often around the corner from the nostalgia-steeped nooks he preferred. The emptiness of most of his streets and the sometimes blurred figures in those with people are partly due to his already antiquated technique, including extended exposure times which required that many of his images be made in the early morning hours before pedestrians and traffic appeared.

Under the dark cloth, Atget surely knew the effect of these corners and accepted or preferred them. In fact, one of the key qualities of Atget's work compared to that of many other similar documentary photographers of that city, is his savvy avoidance of perfection, that cold symmetry and clear stasis that photography is so naturally good at. He approaches his subjects with a humanism that is palpable once noticed, and you become an observer and appreciator with him in his meanderings. He often said, "I have done little justice to the Great City of Paris," as a comment on his career.

Brief look;André Kertész

André Kertész is recognized as one of the world's leading photographers. During a career spanning more than 70 years, he created images of ordinary life, in a style without pretension, using small-format cameras almost exclusively.

Kertész was born in Budapest, Hungary, where he graduated from the Academy of Commerce in 1912.He had an enduring influence upon world photography, particularly in France where he was a mentor to photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, and Brassai.

Working in a variety of modes, from portraits to still-lifes to nude distortions to photo-reportage, Kertész consistently captured the telling moment and the overlooked but expressive details of his subjects.

Cartier-Bresson has acknowledged this achievement: "Whatever we have done, Kertész did first."

Ansel Easton Adams

Ansel Easton Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) was an American photographer and environmentalist, best known for his black-and-white photographs of the American West and primarily Yosemite National Park.
For his images, he developed the zone system, a way to determine proper exposure and adjust the contrast of the final print. The resulting clarity and depth characterized his photographs. Although his large-format view cameras were difficult to use because of their size, weight, setup time, and film cost, their high resolution ensured sharpness in his images.
He founded the Group f/64 along with fellow photographers Edward Weston and Imogen Cunningham, which in turn created the Museum of Modern Art's department of photography. Adams' timeless and visually stunning photographs are reproduced on calendars, posters, and in books, making his photographs widely recognizable.

Felix nadar collective

Nadar was the pseudonym of Gaspard-Feliix Tournachon (April 6, 1820 ?March 21, 1910), a French photographer, caricaturist, journalist, novelist and balloonist.
He was a caricaturist for Le Charivari in 1848. In 1849 he created the Revue comique and the Petit journal pour rire. He took his first photographs in 1853 and in 1858 became the first person to make aerial photographs.
Around 1863, Nadar built a huge (6000 m3) hot air balloon named "The Giant"
In April 1874, he lent his photo studio to a group of painters, thus making the first exhibition of the Impressionists possible. 1874. He photographed Victor Hugo on his death-bed in 1885. He is credited with having published (in 1886) the first photo-interview (of famous chemist Michel Euge Chevreul, then a centenary), and also took erotic photographs.
During his last years he continued to think of himself as "a daredevil, always on the lookout for currents to swim against."

Chelsea Lewyta：cats and girls

her girls some in a state of profound melancholy.

pieces create a weirdness atmosphere by extremely gentle color,i can feel the figure's lack of cognize, their frantic, ecstasy,delectation and sensitive.they don't know who they are,who the beasts lean close to them are most of the times.

the innocent girls share their desserts,exposed their smooth bodies, dream wonderful things and sometimes pore over the nature of dolls.their ideology become more and more fragile and morbid.how do these came about?

Tender grey tone mix very well,cold tune or warm tune,and pale and diluted bright color have no big contrast.

A grain of seductive take me to the scene where the attractive girl lives, and watch her make everything.

Pietari Posti: he paints the gorgeous visual world

This illustrator inspired me very much, for his bright brave and sensitive color, obstract feeling,the great projects are very worth checking out and studying.

HE also make posters for music festivals and differend kinds of magazines.
In his projects of "giants",all the figures of huge animals are cute full, not a tinge of malicious come from it. The vivid and fresh colors of buldings and small rounded cars set the giants off to a incredible weight. The messed up traffic contrast sharply with the innocent eyes and slow moves of the giants. I love the black color using style in his works, for the black in the shadow light up all the color lumps and the balanced other bright colors.
in his portraits, the figures are harmonized and exaggrated, and not lack of realistic . He represents the figure's characters with color, serenity or enthusiasm, secretive or mysterious,ordinary or splendid. his illustrations are the competitive products in the area of design.
