Powerful and Surreal Self Portraits by Rachel Baran
Powerful and Surreal Self Portraits by 20-Year-Old Rachel Baran
Rachel Baran is an extraordinarily talented U.S.-based photographer who creates amazing surreal and conceptual portraits that thousands of people have fallen in love with. And she’s only 20 years old.
One of the best things about Baran’s work is that it’s constantly evolving and growing. As such a young photographer, she’s still trying out different styles and inspirations. Some of her images are dark, introverted and full of suffering, while others encapsulate the young and artistic photographer’s youth and joy. What’s most important, however, is that all of them are creative and very well-done.
Baran experiments with different methods for creating her photos as well. Some are simply manipulated in Photoshop while others are created by combining multiple photographs. Best of all, Baran posts images on her Facebook breaking down the creative process behind some of her more complex photographs, showing us what different images went into the creation of her final picture.
The 20-year-old psychology major’s beautiful images seem similar in spirit to work by Kylli Sparre, another talented photographer that uses Photoshop to create gripping surreal portraits.

National Geographic photographer takes the iPhone 5S out shooting
In general, there are few people more skeptical of smartphone photography than professional photographers. According to many people who make their living with photography, mobile photography is weakening their artform, and sometimes putting them out of work. Other professionals, like Jim Richardson, see their smartphone as just another tool in their camera bag.
Check out some of Richardson's photos from his Instagram:
Portraitfotograf Hamburg
Lukas Leonte is a young photographer who blends his imagination with a very natural style of photography. His pictures show that he has great creative talent but also that he doesn’t force his creativity upon his pictures. Instead, he realizes his ideas within the context and atmosphere of the pictures themselves. In this way his photography presents intriguing ideas which are also nice to look at.
We asked Lukas a few questions about his photography, which you can find below with a selection of Lukas’ work from his Flickr photostream.
Thinking of You action photoshop
This is another stylized photographic treatment that adds a filmic, green-cast and heavily saturated shadows effect. The end result feels both blockbuster-movie-like, and very fashion orientated.

Beautiful Photos From The Mountains by Ben Shew
30-year-old Ben Shew has been into photography for close to ten years, and lives just outside of Philadelphia. He started taking photos of cars for his friends and himself and then got into landscape and nature photography. When shooting landscapes, Ben prefers open spaces; vastness that shows just how big our world is, such as open rolling fields or large towering mountains.
Ben has always been inspired by the works of Ansel Adams and Henri Cartier-Bresson. They seem to find that certain magic that draws you into the shot to make you feel like you are there. In the future, Ben wants to grow in his film photography, and expand overall in his abilities.
To see more of Ben’s work, check out his website and Flickr Photostream.
