It is widely understood that photographs reveal something about the photographer who took them. This is particularly true of Fabrizio’s work.

Fabrizio’s photographs and writings have been featured on numerous photography magazines in UK, Italy, Japan and China, on prestigious online blogs and his “Shine on, Japan” work, a tribute

keessmans Kees Smans works and lives in the Netherlands. As a photographer he has a great interests in working with long exposures. That gives him the opportunity to capture outdoor scenes in a way we are not able to see with our human eye. The scenes he photographs are real but in the end result the photograph has an unreal touch. He gets inspired by landscapes and architecture.

renders a shot with his heart
olivier du tré Olivier Du Tré was born and raised 34 years ago in Ghent, Belgium. After graduating with a Graphic Arts degree in ’98, he picked up a camera, fell in love with photography and found his real passion. His dad has been a photographer and painter for over 40 years. He was Olivier's inspiration for exploring this new art form. As a kid, Olivier would marvel how his dad just ‘dialed in’ his Leica M3 without even measuring the available light. He just knew!

silence in his photographs
grigoriysichev Grigoriy Sichev is 27 years old. He lives in Siberia (Omsk). In a world of too many unnecessary sounds. That’s the reason for silence in his photographs. Grigoriy also does not give names to his photos, so that would not limit the imagination. These pictures were taken over the year. In them it’s his mood, the state and the vision of this world in silence.

a combination of beauty and danger
alexandersafonov Alexander Safonov, is originally from Voronezh, Russia. He has lived in eastern Asia since 1998, currently residing in Hong Kong. He is a professional software architect by trade, working as a consultant with financial firms. Alexander got his diving license in 2002, and began to experiment with underwater photography in 2004, starting with

compact cameras and by 2006 progressing to the digital SLRs. His favorite photography style is wide angle, and favorite subject marine life, close and personal. Sharks are Alexander’s favorite animals, as they are a combination of beauty and danger. He has dived in numerous locations around the
world, but his favorite is the South African Wild Coast, where he got the best dives of his life, during annual Sardine Run phenomena. For photographers looking for close encounters with predators bait balls are the one of the best options as on single dive it’s possible to see more predators than the average diver sees during life time !
Among his other favorite destinations are Cocos Island, Fiji, Galapagos and Raja Ampat. Alexander developed an interest in macro photography too but his macro skills are still not as strong as his wide angle. He won multiple photography contests including prize in Veolia/ BBC Wildlife Photographer
of the Year. His work was published in various media around the world and he participated in several promotional and advertisement campaigns. Alexander is always looking for exciting new photo opportunities around the world involving close encounters with marine life.
