An Exquisite Portrait, Opposing Forces and More!

Cool Photos & Photographers
By Federico Alegria / March 3, 2025

Welcome to the weekly Light Stalking community wrap up! I’m literally sitting on the ground while writing this newsletter, and I realised something curious about contrast in our photography. If something defines our most-beloved craft as anything close to language, is the use of contrast for highlighting that to be said on the shot. Now, […]

By Federico Alegria / February 24, 2025

Welcome to the weekly Light Stalking photography wrap up! Next in our visual metaphors set, one of the hardest themes I’ve ever seen! Diane went all in and made the call for “abstract emotions”.

By Federico Alegria / February 3, 2025

Photography is challenging, especially when it starts feeling purposeless. Thankfully, storytelling approaches offer a great deal of ease when it comes to existential or creative crises. Today, I want to share my experience about how colour temperature helps in achieving a consistent look across multiple images in a set or essay.


Earth’s Cry, Notorious Hues and Details from the Moon!

Cool Photos & Photographers
By Federico Alegria / January 28, 2025

Last week, we went hard with colour by aiming to achieve emotion through landscape imagery. This week, we are sharing a generous batch of images our passionate community decided to post after Diane’s call on looking for singular hues in photography! Now that’s a challenge or what? Some of the criteria used to select the […]
