Mike's on the fly Feature



It's about time I updated this.

I've been planning on featuring this photographer for a while now, since she messaged me in my "New Photographers" feature in the news. At the time her gallery was impressive, but since then it's become simply phenomenal.

kariannphotography's gallery is something that I can't put into words. Mainly black and white images, each work is just so well done and powerful at the same time.

Her work goes beyond just being an image: A simply titled shot like 'an apple with a leaf' shows this. It's not a picture of an apple, it's curves, shapes, dark and lights. Droplets of water provide artful highlights that capture the eye. Every edge is defined, with the depth of field wide enough to include the whole of the subject. The purely black background gives powerful negative space, defining the form further.

Her self portraits that vary around her gallery are also artfully done, and powerful. It seems that special attention is given to the eyes, which are darker and more defined than the rest of the image.

Other pieces also show mastery of the media; almost any of her shots could be placed on a wall and look good.

As I always say, I highly suggest looking at her gallery. I would even say watch her, and tell everyone you know to watch her as well, because there's no telling what she might do next.

She's got potential and she's using it to the fullest. So to Kari I say, keep up the excellent work. I haven't been disappointed with any of your shots yet.

To Kariann: as I said, keep it up. I feel like you deserve a lot more attention, and if I could I would gladly shout your DA page from a mountaintop. XD
