another set of epic photos by Mike

PPD: Michael Ahearn

Michael is a long time friend of mine who i met via numerous design websites and who we were a part of the same graphic "team" named Evolutionary Arts. he then went on to take up photography as his main hobby and is now doing weddings and other events with his large camera collection.

his work basically inspired me to start photography and without his tips and recommendations i would be going nowhere with my career/lifestyle. he has given me in depth tips about wedding photography which i am doing in July. so i am truely greatful for his help.

his uses a range of digital and film photography - both equally as impressive as the other.

here is some of Mikes work.














one word to sum up his talent? Indescribable!

PPD: Alex Nail Photography

as landscape photography is my favourite type of photography it would be unjustifiable to not show off my favourite landscape photographers - alex nail. he is a young student based on the western outskirts of Dartmoor. His techincal and photographic skills are simply astonishing and i envy every shot he takes. he captures the atmosphere so well and composes perfectly

here is some of Alex's work:







this is one of my favourite images by Alex, the colours and composition is amazing.

^^^^^^^^




these colours are amazing, taken with a 50mm f1.8 too! :O



taken on the isle of skye. i plan to go there at some point in the future in hope to get some landscape shots.

PPD: Undream

though looking at Zhestkov's work i stumbled upon Undream aka Murat Pak. Murat Pak is a freelance designer, director and digital artist with a quantitive background and great passion for music & "dreams". He is also the founder of UNDREAM, a creative studio of the near future and is currently using the utisz, "UNDREAM" for his single-person projects. UNDREAM will also be producing music in the very close future with another member of undream, Ece Pak, a very talented creative compositor.

His video titled "Masnavi" is simply amazing and i wish to learn how to create similar videos, its perfectly tied with the music which give this amazing atmosphere



outstanding

he has also done a typo peice which i find mazing considering i have a love for typography at the minute. the video is called "Garamond" and can be found here:

PPD: Maxim Zhestkov

i recently got shown the work of Maxim Zhestkov, who is a digital motion artist who predominatly uses Adobe after effects as his "weapon of choice". he has previously been selected to feature in the "onedotzero"(2008) books and i find his work to be simply phenominal.
