The underwater ‘muses’ photo series by Christy Lee Rogers is reminiscent of  French Baroque painter Nicolas Poussin . The Hawaiian visual artist produces her colourful, luminous works by submerging her models interlaced bodies, draped in vibrant fabrics, into water and capturing the refraction of light which gives the photographs a painterly effect.

German photographer Christian Vieler has been snapping these amusing gobbling quadruped shots since 2013, when he bought a portable flash that allowed him to work with shutter speeds as fast as 1/8000th of a second.  He was with Lotte, his Labrador retriever, when the equipment arrived. “To make her move and in order to test the ‘freezing options’ of the flash, I started throwing treats at her,” Vieler said. “Days later, when I cleaned my hard drive, I noticed how funny the shots were.” These hilariously sweet images will certainly add some joy to your day.

I had the good fortune to meet one of my photography idols a few years ago. Albert Watson was gracious and generous with his time and knowledge.  He is a living master who continues to inspire and push his creative vision well into his 70's. "Behind Albert’s vision and his subtle play with light is great skill that takes his images to a higher level of art. He transforms a great image into an artistic experience."
