The Candid Frame #144 - Dana Barsuhn

Dana Barsuhn is a young LA-based photographer who honed his skill on the streets of Los Angeles and used what he has learned to serve his early work as a professional photographer. Within a short period of time, he has developed a very personal visual sensibility with his street photography, which has not only allowed him to create distinct imagery in this popular genre, but has also helped him to create unique photographs. His growth as a photographer has recently inspired him to make the leap into a full-time professional photographer, with the hopes of achieving both financial and creative success. You can find out more about his work by visiting his website and blog.

Dana Barsuhn recommends the work of Stanko Abadzic.

Listener Photo of the Week - February 16, 2011

Photo by Georgios Karamanis

Good design is often rooted in simplicity and that's certainly the case with this composition. With just a trio of elements, Georgios Karamanis makes an image that really stop you in your tracks and forces you to settle in. There's a lot of energy in this image even though the elements are static. Lovely capture.
