Impressive Photography by Alex Gaidouk
Alex Gaidouk is originally from Russia but currently calls Brooklyn home. Every so often a photographer will come along and take pictures that make you wish you could teleport yourself to that exact location at that exact instant just so you can feel the beauty they feel. Alex did it for me. I don't know how he does it, and honestly I don't even want to know. I'm happy enough just marveling at these beautiful shots and wishing I could be at these places too.

Dreamlike Photography by Katheryn Love
Katheryn's style is one that I love--pictures that compositionally don't have a lot going on but somehow capture your attention anyway. There's this hazy feel in her shots, usually accompanied by this distinct air of mystery, that really makes you wonder about the story behind the picture. I appreciate photographers who make people think with their work more than those who just leave viewers in admiration of a pretty subject and composition.
