Fotofestiwal in Lodz

Every year is Lodz welcoming all photography fans on it famous Fotofestiwal. What I found very interesting is that this year is also included a video artist, which in my honest opinion confirms how a video is becoming even more important tool to creative artists.

Just like slightly disturbing video Night in white satin by Ange Leccia

Partly funny, partly scary collages form young Ukranian photographer Daniel Polevoy could be joke as well as warning.

Following the reindeer by Evgenia Arbugaeva

Very interested series "Following the reindeer" caught my eye because it is very suble combination of portraits, documentary and landscapes, together working as a complete image of hard and sometimes joyful Siberian life.

Civil War Faces from Library of Congress

"These fascinating photographs represent the impact of the war, which involved many young enlisted men and the deaths of more than 600,000 soldiers. The photos feature details that enhance their interest, including horses, drums, muskets, rifles, revolvers, hats and caps, canteens, and a guitar. Among the rarest images are African Americans in uniform, sailors, a Lincoln campaign button, and portraits with families, women, and girls and boys. " -Flickr-

Franziska Klose

I saw Franziska´s exibition The truth might be right in Dresden gallery bautzner69 and I fell in love with her work almost immediately. Her photographs are usually very simple but contain everything needed. Very open but also very intimate.

Nicolas Méphane

Very subtle images that often capture very intimate moments. Nicolas work is combination of art and fashion but it speaks to me with very poetic language.
