Jeffery Scott is not your everyday shooter. Not by a very long shot. You have got to go to his website but I would suggest that you do so with plenty of time to try, at least try, to get your head around his world.

Jeffery Scott, AKA 1019, ‘Creates photograghic images that stretch boundaries and redefine standards. His photographs are powerful Juxtapositions of light and darkness.” And how!

I have no intention of copying out 1019’s bio as you can find it here on the website. I am hoping that you will also take a long look at his other work. WOW.

I went looking for something to rattle my tree. Something well out on left field, completely not main stream, at least from where I stand. I found Philip from Lithium Picnic Studio. I found these quotes from others and felt that I should use their words rather than try to guess for myself.

Steve Diet Goedde (Photographer) :
“Philip’s work harnesses the three components of great photography: understanding lighting, knowing composition, and bringing out the beauty of his subjects. I love being able to look through his eyes. He’s one of my favorite photographers out there, period.”

Michael Hussar (Painter) :
“Although he uses a camera. Make no mistake about it Philip is a Painter. He paints with Light…  His palette is a prism as rich and painterly as any Goya or Velasquez or Vermeer. Through the vessel that is the Female Landscape, he effortlessly establishes a direct and powerful visual dialogue with the viewer that is both voyeuristic and present.”

Chad Michael Ward (Photographer)”:
“There’s no mistaking an Lithium Picnic image when you see it.  Iconographic in form and perfectly understated in color, Lithium Picnic has carved a very defined niche in modern photography.  With equal parts fashion and fetish and a keen eye for composition, Picnic’s work is as powerful and precise as the coming storm.  You’ve been warned.”

Matt says, “I’m an entirely self-taught photographer looking to continue on a  path filled with experiences that will ultimately increase my knowledge and understanding in the area of portraiture.

Beginning with an overly simplified down and dirty description of myself, lets begin by saying, I am a driven creative soul with a background in a whole slew of geeky pursuits. As far as my with history with photography, I picked up my first digital camera in 2002 while studying for a degree in Computer Science at Kennesaw State University.

It began as a way to cope with the stressful nature of my career path and ultimately it has blossomed into something more. In 2007 I graduated with my bachelors degree in Computer Science and my desire for capturing beautiful images has only grown exponentially.

There are many little stories in between all of those years that I wish I were able to tell but I’m quite certain that would cause this little page to quickly turn into a long novel. Suffice to say, my passion for photography has grown into a integral part of my life and I’ll leave those stories to nights filled with quiet comfort, good friendship, and a strong drink in hand.”
