You’ll be able to see Rachael Talibart’s beautiful photography in person at the Sohn Fine Art Gallery in Lenox, Massachusetts in the States from 7th of September through to 11th November.

The English photographer uses fast shutter speeds to freeze the water into shape, creating as a sculpture might clay and in doing so manages to, somehow, reveal faces in the waves.

Talibart is said to be inspired, in part, by Homer’s Odyssey and the stories of sea monsters there. Need to see more? Pop over to her website and check out her thoughtful range.

Haunting firefly time-lapse photography

by 1 Comment

This remarkable video was made in the summer of 2013 with time-lapse photography taken around the Lake of the Ozarks, MO and Grand Ledge, MI in the US.

The soundtrack was composed by Brandon McCoy for the film and is called “Luciole” which is French for firefly.

Amazingly, this was Vincent Brady’s first attempt at a time-lapse video.
