Russian Street Photography “Lost in Thought”

Russian Street Photography “Lost in Thought”

Motivation and Feeling of the Street Photograph “Lost in Thought”

Lost in Thought

©John D Williams

Here we see a lone woman travelling on a bus in Russia staring out at us as she travels to a destination we will never know. How many times have we been lost on a journey, recalling memories and remembering the past, those lost loves, moments of endless enjoyment, laughing like children, amazed, and…

Komrads”Russian Street Photography Book Published

Having just finished processing my photographs for my new photography art book titled Komrads, and publishing the book through two different streams (one softcover and an electronic PDF and EPUB version) it is now time to reflect on the process as a whole. As a photographer time is of the essence, in fact between uploading to stock sites such as Getty Images and Shutterstock, as well as…

Sale of “Russian Fishmonger at Work” via Crated.Com

It always comes as a pleasant surprise to sell one of my photographs as a framed wall art print. The image below was purchased by a buyer in Texas, America and is one my street photographs captured in the city of Ufa, in Russia in 2015.

I liked the scene – two sellers set out frozen fish from different areas of Russia at a local stall on the side of a road where I lived. It was a cold dark…

YouTube Videos of my Images

Lightpainting abstract photo art on youtube - a visual show-reel of my art images for sale

I don’t usually use Youtube, however as a show-reel it makes perfect sense to use it as a advertising platform to share my photographs. The quick show-reel below was made a few years back but shows some of my more unusual works of art – the “Lightpainting” series I worked on over the winter in Ufa, Russia.

Here you can find YouTube videos of my images in a scrolling design:

Here is an image I captured in the heart of the Russia Winter. It is from a park called Victory Park on the edges of Ufa, the capital city of the Republic of Bashkortostan in Russia.

What amazed me about the elements in this photograph were the lines of forests entering the frame from both left right and then left again. Separating each reach of the darkened forest…

Tree Of Nature Evolving Symmetry Pattern

Tree Of Nature Evolving Symmetry Pattern Framed Print striking photography wallart for sale

This image of a tree at night really makes me shiver. There is something known about this tree and yet the symmetry creates a monster, like an alien life form that appears to be growing horrific legs. It is not an image that provides comfort to me, and certainly not for landscape tree lovers. No this image promoted unease and horror, perhaps even a sense of fear. This work as the photograph is…

What is a Photographer?

What is a Photographer?

What is a Photographer – Fine Art or Crass Culture?

Did you ever wonder why cave men used to draw on their cave walls years back? Pretty sure it was to record or document the world around them, in terms of beasts, visions, dreams, accomplishments – now I am no anthropologist so I could be wrong, but if we think about the continuation of how this theme extends into the realm or art and as we must…
