Rajkovic was born in 1947 and he was born in France. Over his career he has explored escapism and what it means and has taken his journey through the photography world looking for an emotional dimension but he could never really find it despite visiting some beautiful scenes. Despite the dramatic look of Rajkovic's photographs he works through the minimalistic approach and aims to focus on the symbolism within nature.

Luis Luxvich takes high speed photographs of liquids and is known for seeing excitement in the abstract-modernist compositions. He is known as a master of liquid photography and is from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. His colourful creations bring joy to everyone who views them. The photographs are fabulous and showcase how amazing water really is, I love the way the water has formed almost an umbrella shape as it prepares to splash.

ReplyDeleteif certain parts of the post are taken from other peoples critical analysis available on line, you must say so.. in this piece you should explain the terminologies of "stereotypical factualness" in the post by "Zena Holloway is a self taught artist and director and her speciality is underwater photography. Holloway’s style deviates from the stereotypical factualness associated with underwater photography. There is an essence of reverie imbued in her photos.
