The soul of the world

I want to share a project called the Soul of the World (El Alma del Mundo) by photographer Miguel Angel Sanchez. In this series of portraits of Egyptian people, Sanchez lights and composes them in the likeness of the Baroque style, using the light in a similar way that master painters like Diego Velazquez, Caravaggio or Ribera, making his pictures look like paintings instead of photographs.

Michael Melford - Acadia National Park

Sharing a gallery by photographer Michael Melford for National Geographic. It features pictures of the Acadia National Park in the northeastern U.S. Melford was born in New York in 1950 and on his website he says: 'My mission is to share the wonders of the natural world with other, and to help them see the beauty that surrounds us. My hope is that we might preserve it for future generations.' I think Michael Welford has accomplished very well his mission as his images show the amazing greatness and beauty of nature.
