Luckily, Lukasz Wierzbowski manages to pull it of really well, the photographs keep a unique look and have an certain aesthetic to them which ultimately makes them easy to identify as a Lukasz Wierzbowski photograph. Also, this is what tumblr is good for, awesome blogs like this, unfortunately tumblr is full of some awful crap as well.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/10/lukasz-wierzbowski/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/bogdan-radenkovic/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/bogdan-radenkovic/#comments Tue, 28 Sep 2010 16:51:00 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=3480 Photography has been somewhat submerged in visual aesthetic since the rise of the internet. Everyone has become a ‘photographer’ and everyone can produce a ‘beautiful’ photograph due to the advancements in technology. So when you see someone who produces sets of photographs about real things and things that are close to their heart it’s really refreshing. The subject matters of some of Bogdans work are really unique and he approaches it an usual way. Yet I feel Bodan’s best photography comes in his ‘diary’ project, i believe this is where his talent shines, it will be interesting to see his future projects.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/bogdan-radenkovic/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/mark-howe-2/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/mark-howe-2/#comments Mon, 27 Sep 2010 11:36:14 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=3471 We featured Mark Howe a while back for his design and illustration work but this time it’s about his new photography site. Marks background is in graphic design which is clear to see through his photographs that are very portrait orientated. He has some taken some lovely portraits in what seems like a new and fresh style. There isn’t much room for constructive criticism in Marks work, it has lovely compositions and perfect exposures, it will be interesting to see what he comes up with next.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/mark-howe-2/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/michael-jackson/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/michael-jackson/#comments Wed, 22 Sep 2010 20:06:48 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=3451 A master of the black and white medium format landscape photograph, that would be Michael Jackson. Michael has gained a lot of recognition over the past 2 years, mainly for his project on Poppit Sands but also for his projects on singular structures. Abstract photography can sometimes be a bit bland or ‘arty’ but the landscape images that Michael produces give great aesthetic pleasure and really stand out amongst a lot of stuff that’s produced today.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/michael-jackson/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/gaetan-massaut/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/gaetan-massaut/#comments Wed, 22 Sep 2010 14:58:47 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=3446 A while back the name Gaëtan Massaut popped up in our inbox. We liked the sound of him, a photographer, from Belgium, been doing it for over 10 years, thats always a good sign. Gaëtans website contains his work from the past few years, an eclectic range of photography in different styles but the compositions and subjects all sit in harmony with each other, which ultimately produces a brilliant body of work. The photography itself is calming and visually nice to sit and look through, also, check out the videos on his site, they’re sort of like moving photography.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/09/gaetan-massaut/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/yannick-hagmann/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/yannick-hagmann/#comments Tue, 16 Feb 2010 17:00:28 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=1983 Yannick hagmann sent us an email with a link to their portfolio. The work in this portfolio is really beautiful and has an unique look to it. Yannick’s work on Gas Stations are really nice and hopefully this project will be built on at a later date as the images are really quite special. A small but really nice portfolio of work by Yannick Hagmann.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/yannick-hagmann/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/giles-revell/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/giles-revell/#comments Tue, 09 Feb 2010 20:10:01 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=1979 “Influenced by fine art and conceptualism, Giles Revell’s work is an ongoing exploration of the possibilities of graphic, ideas-based imagery and the different ways in which photographic images can simply form, surface or texture via the simplest means. In addition to ‘pure’, traditional photography, Giles’s personal work continues to explore the creative potential of digital technologies.” Absolute exceptional photography by Giles Revell]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/giles-revell/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/davide-faggiano/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/davide-faggiano/#comments Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:01:34 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=1975 Davide Faggiano took our breath away with his absolutely amazing photographs. His work is quite disturbing and although we love the work we can’t help but be freaked out by them. His portfolio is quite small but the work is outstanding so well worth taking a look at.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/davide-faggiano/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/rafafans/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/rafafans/#comments Wed, 03 Feb 2010 00:02:41 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=1944 Sometimes we just don’t know the full names of the people we feature but none the less Rafafans is a brilliant designer with a fresh unique style. Rafafans work is  a breath of fresh air as well as having a much deeper meaning from the aesthetic you see. Rafafans style is some how transferred into his photographic work which is incredibly raw giving a sense of nostalgia with the colours and tones. Some really lovely, ‘break the mould’ work by Rafafans.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/rafafans/feed/ 0 http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/katheryn-love/ http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/katheryn-love/#comments Tue, 02 Feb 2010 16:47:00 +0000 admin http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/?p=1940 Katheryn Loves photographs are like memories of a life that never existed. Her dream like images transport you into a different world which seems quite lonely and desolate. However these images are beautiful and really tell a story, especially if you look at Katheryns insight into the ‘Study of a Family’.]]> http://www.thisisbrick.co.uk/2010/02/katheryn-love/feed/ 0
