This weeks 5 looks at five photographers in this region that have recently been showing some great work. A couple of these are new to me so I’m not familiar with all of their older images. The others are people I’ve been following for a while who have recently been taking their photography to another level. I’m not ranking these in any way – they are simply in the order I discovered them. Read on, after the jump.
The Daily Bubble Tea – Married life must be agreeing with Todd at the Daily Bubble Tea, because he’s been producing some stunning work of late. A really strong sense of composition coupled with the desire to try new things has resulted in beautiful images. His series utilizing reverse macro photography makes a good starting point for anyone not familiar with Todd’s work.
My Several Worlds – I’m not sure if it’s something to do with being a newlywed, but Carrie is another recently married person who’s been producing great work lately. Reinventing her site as a more travel style magazine has been a good move on Carrie’s part, which allows her strong sense of color to shine. Take a look at a graffiti walk in Ximending for starters.
Asian Ramblings – The Stevo is another who’s displaying his work in a web magazine-type format. Regularly updated posts that ranging from single photos to history to travel. Hakka Missile Silo’s is a good example, mixing great photography with bits of history.
Expatriate Games – Michael’s blog is a recent discovery. He exhibits a diverse range of images with some very strong portrait work and excellent use of color. His Top 10 China portraits is a good place to start. Expect some great work in the future from Michael.
Randyland – Randy’s blog is one I discovered a while ago, lost and have only recently rediscovered. Randy’s been mixing it up with color, black and white, HDR and a few experimental shots. His recent trip to Angkor has seen a lot of great pictures posted. I’m looking forward to more.
So there we have it. Five photographers producing great images. Do you have any favorites? Any other photographers that you think I should know about? Drop me a note and link in the comments and I’ll take a look. Please consider sharing this post with your social media networks.
