Something very different for me. Shot with a wide lens on a very bright day with hard blue skies and then heavily processed to create the dark sky effect, as if shot at night. I just liked the strong lead-in line taking the eye through the water features to the isolated single woman waiting in the square in front of the Imaginarium Dome. Does it work?
Silver and purple shimmer across Aino Ilvesniemi’s face, where Betty Applepie shaped the Fashion Circus theme into a Dragon Skull Punk. Created on the second day of the competition, the makeup feels like a creature stepping out from beneath the circus lights, part armor, part myth, part rebellion.
Metallic contours trace the bones of an imagined dragon, while purple tones soften the steel with something dreamlike. It is a beautiful transformation, fierce and theatrical, yet held together by the quiet precision of every painted detail.
Artist: Betty Applepie

Captured in a fleeting moment of pure stillness, this pelican's gaze seems to pierce through time itself. A silent monarch of the waters, sculpted by light and shadow.
Black and white wildlife photography focused on texture, emotion, and presence.
Shot with a long focal length to isolate the subject against a naturally dark background, creating a dramatic and timeless portrait.

A lone barn and tree stand against the rolling hills, as dark clouds gather and a curtain of rain sweeps across the valley. In this fleeting moment, light and shadow collide — a landscape caught between calm and the full breath of the storm.

For just a few seconds, a hole in the 10/10ths cloud cover formed creating quite dramatic light and vivid shades of green on this patch of farmland near Wycliffe, Teesdale

This photo holds the moment when the lines begin to move, not just across your skin, but into your spirit. They mesmerize, like whispers of a pattern you’ve known. It’s as if the light is sending a message to your future self, a quiet reminder to align, to be present, to flow with the rhythm of life. In these shadows and stripes, there’s order, there’s chaos, and there’s you, somewhere between, becoming whole.
First portraits of 2020 were made on January 26, 2020. My 92 year old grandfather, Jewell Still. Love and respect this man very much.
A powerful funerary sculpture at the Cimitero Monumentale in Milan.
Man and animal are captured at the peak of physical tension — labor, resistance, and dependence frozen forever in stone.
The black-and-white interpretation strips the scene down to form, light, and movement, intensifying its timeless and uncompromising presence. No sentimentality, no consolation — only weight, effort, and mortality.

I'm still searching for that perfect Boston Skyline shot from the Cambridge side of the Charles River. I feel truly blessed every morning I have a chance to shoot from this shoreline. It won't always be this convenient, so I'm going to take advantage. Took this one from underneath an umbrella.

Some spectacularly dramatic lighting conditions on the upper dale as seen in this panoramic view from Bail Hill above Mickleton, on New Year's Eve 2025. Standing out in the strong sunshine is Ettersgill (left) round to Middle Side and Aukside (right).
A slight change of pace: yesterday, I spent some time in Brussels, walking the city with my camera, seeking moments when light, color, shape, and people align perfectly. Street photography is all about timing—whether it's how the sun isolates a person, a bold background sets the scene, or an expression reveals a story. These are the first two shots from that day. More shots are coming soon.

Europe - Finland - Suomi - North of the Arctic Circle - Finnish Lapland - Lappland - Lapponia under fresh cover of snow during winter time
No single Northern Lights photo does true justice to what is happening on the sky during those unique moments when Northern Lights appear. After incredible experience of capturing my first ever timelapse in Iceland last year, I've headed to Frozen land of Arctic Lapland to capture Northern Lights under snowy landscape, which is often difficult to find along the coast. Average temperatures around - 25C dont make it particularly friendly experience, but the one which will always be treasured.

A quiet moment where light, texture and innocence meet.
The contrast between fragile childhood and ancient stone creates a silent dialogue between time and presence.
Sometimes the smallest figure carries the strongest story.

Winter sunshine in this view looking down the dale towards Middle Side from Holwick, under a dark sky.
Carved by the slow and relentless forces of nature, the famous hole of Torghatten pierces straight through the mountain on the island of Torget in Brønnøy, Norway. Standing here, looking westward toward the sea, it feels like a passage between worlds — a gateway where rock, light, and ocean meet.
According to legend, the hole was created when the troll Hestmannen shot an arrow after a fleeing maiden. The mountain king of Sømna threw his hat to save her, and as the rising sun turned them all to stone, the hat became Torghatten — with the arrow’s path forming the hole we see today.
Fun fact: The hole is 160 meters long, 35 meters high, and 20 meters wide — large enough to walk through, with a stunning view of the Helgeland coast on the other side.
An apple a day, keeps the doctor away....
In a dark studio where the laws of physics seem negotiable, a green apple hangs suspended in mid-air while a carefully aimed blade divides it into perfect segments. Built around timing, illusion and a touch of visual trickery, the image transforms an everyday object into something that appears impossible. Sometimes photography is less about recording reality and more about convincing the eye to question it.
Fun fact: The human brain is remarkably willing to accept visual illusions. When lighting, perspective and timing work together, a still photograph can make impossible events appear completely believable, at least for a moment.

That quiet moment when becoming feels heavier than staying the same.
There is a moment in adolescence where silence becomes louder than words.
Where thoughts pile up behind the eyes, and the world feels too heavy to answer all at once.
This portrait is about that in-between space, caught between who you were and who you are becoming. The hands aren’t hiding the face as much as they are holding everything together. The gaze remains steady, searching, unresolved. Not defeated, just listening.
Growing up is rarely loud or dramatic. More often, it is internal. A quiet negotiation with doubt, expectation, and identity. This image lives in that pause, where strength hasn’t fully formed yet, but neither has surrender.
Another shot of Cara.
I tried to edit this one a bit more 'moody' and 'edgy'
....but its still tender.

[#1 Rank - Top Five Best Images - Feb. 2016 - DM's Lair]
It was a very dark and rainy week. The sun was nowhere to be found...for days. Clouds and overcast weather systems rolled by endlessly, with hardly any color in the sky at all. We were blanketed by a low cloud-covered ceiling. It was a very good opportunity to do some black and white images with some textures and moody feeling. What else was I going to do? I didn't need my sunglasses and there was no glare...anywhere. I had to "time it" between the constant showers that were all over the place. It was gloomy and different...yet still fun. The sun will come out tomorrow ~ Rainy Days over the Florida Everglades ~ Boca Raton, Florida U.S.A. ~ Just a Peek of Sunlight

Wrapped in layers of fabric and time, this enigmatic figure carries the weight of untold stories. His gaze, hidden yet piercing, speaks of resilience, survival, and a life woven with mystery. Every texture, every thread, and every shadow tells a tale—one that invites the viewer to look closer and wonder.
(Over the next two weeks, I'll be sharing a series of street shots, featuring both portraits and street scenes, from my past visits to the Philippines where I immersed myself in street photography.)
