He has some fascinating extended exposures (we aren't talking minutes here, but at least several hours), taken with a pinhole camera. Most of them can be found under "citiy" (sic! ). I especially like the pictures of the MoMA and the Potsdamer Platz, where one picture records the building activity of several years.

A lot of the photographer's portraits are done in a photojournalistic manner, in which I like the truth in the scene. When I'm looking at models for portraits, it just feels like I'm just looking at a catalogue. Whereas when the photos are of real life people in real life situations, I can empat ...[text shortened]... h.

That's what I like about it too, his photographs often tell entire stories. I like the poverty in Belgium series a lot because of that.

I don't care much for studio or model portraits either, but I'm very envious how street photographers and photojournalists are able to make portraits that tell you something about the people on the pictures.

Talking about photojournalism, I love James Nachtwey's work (http://www.jamesnachtwey.com/). It's probably an obvious choice, but I started appreciating his photos even more after I saw a documentary ('war photographer'😉 about him. Really worth checking out too, if you haven't seen it before.

Brilliant photos. He must have very big Kahunas to put himself in the position to take some of them.

Speaking of photojournalists, I'd like to get a photojournalistic style photographer to do my wedding. I've found this guy... http://www.studio99.it/en/ What do ye think?

Peter Lik is my favourite, I think... http://www.peterlik.com/

Hey Ivanhoe, if you're into photography, why don't you take part in the photography competition?

It's certainly a good angle, I think. Friends of mine had photographs in that style and some of the pictures taken in the inbetween moments, where everyone is standing around waiting for whatever will happen next to start, were great. This Fabrizio's reportage gallery has some good pictures in it, though I'm not too fond of the desaturated ones with bits of colour in them.

Congratulations on the wedding plans. Are you marrying in Italy?
