Kansas City Jazz

Jazz has always been a very interesting source of photographic inspiration - the strength and the heat of the music, the sensuality of the movements, the rythm and the swing have attracted photographers since its beginning. In this website it is possible to see an exhibition about the New Orleans of today and the jazz that breathes through the city. A good photo essay to visit while listening to the best jazz (a suggestion: "At The Bohemia", Charles Mingus, precisely what I'm listening to while writing this post, and one of my favourite Mingus CDs... ;) )

Zosia Zija

A website showing the photographic work of Zosia Zija, polish photographer. The website is divided into three galleries - people, thoughts and places, showing black & white photos, portraits of people and places, always in a vision at the same time simple and strong. Check it out!

BZK Group - Covers

From the 17th of July to the 17th of September it will be held in the Cidade de Lisboa room of the Padrão dos Descobrimentos in Lisbon the photographic exhibition "Covers" from the BZK group.

The BZK group was created in 2002 by artists that use photography as a means of expression. With different personal background, they are united by the will to present works of collective creation that can generate aesthetics that won't overcome the individuality of each member.

For this exhibition, the group has created photographic "cover versions" of five songs. It is not, however, a mere "photo-clip", nor an illustration - it is instead the impression on photographic paper of the emotions provoked by those songs.

The BZK Group is:
António Lucas Soares
António Vieira
Bruno Espadana
Luís Farrolas
Mário Filipe Pires

Suggestions

Some more suggestions, all taken from an interesting photographic weblog, Conscientious:

- Malcolm Pasley - black & white nudes gallery
- Olivier Christinat - black & white work in a unique style
- Tokihiro Sato - black & white photographer with an interesting technique that brings together slow shutter speeds with mirrors to create surreal light effects
- Tom Baril - the work of the photographer that was for 15 years Robert Mapplethorpe's master printer - and it shows in his own photographs, an excellent work

Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison

A site worth knowing - the official site of the work of Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison, dream-like photos in a different and beautiful world.
I discovered this website due to rain song, a Portuguese weblog where much - and good! - photography is found. Worth the visit. :)

My first e-book

Well, it's official and I can now announce it:

I published today my first photography book, an electronic book that exists only on the Internet on the other side of this link.
It's a book that brings together some of my photos with quotes from several authors. It's a simple book with eleven double pages and to me it is sort of a turning point.
I hope you like it :-)

Site update

New site update. I'm starting to worry about the time I take to update things around here - this time I was more than 2 months without saying anything...
Well, there are two new galleries, jazz and smoke, some (few) photos changing galleries and others that were gone for good. I am preparing a new part of the site, it may be ready today, but for now I can't tell what it is :-)))

Site update

Site update: after some time in hibernation, there is finally some new stuff around here - three new galleries, lo-fi, lomo and s; I also added and removed some photos in the other galleries.

Site update

Site update: new photos in the polaroid gallery.
Given the integration of this website in the olhares.net project, there is now a link to that site in all the pages of brunoespadana.com.

Suggestions

Three new suggestions:
Algimantas Aleksandravicius, Lithuanian photographer. The page is part of the website of the Lithuanian Photographers Union and has some very strong portraits shot by this photographer. The rest of the site is also worth a visit to have an idea of what is being done in photography in Lithuania.
Olav Murillo Creative Portfolio. Three photo galleries - "People", "Places" e "Objects" - and some extras make the site of this Mexican photographer an interesting place to visit.
Alan Wilson - Photo A Week. An original project - to put online one photograph by week, taken in that same week - kind of a photo diary of the year that goes by. Street photography that deserves a detailed visit.
