A picture’s worth a thousand words, right? Well, in the modern age of digital photos, manipulation, and color correction, how many words do you think you can squeeze out of a picture? MyModernMet has a great collection of 12 fantastic pictures from some of the most talented photographers in the industry, some of which are heavy edited for content and color, that tell volumes.
While some may say that every picture tells a story, I’m under the belief that only a few can do it right. These are the masters of storytelling, the ones who can draw out an emotion in us and leave us with a lasting memory. We’ve written about some of these photographers right here at theMET. Like Erik Johansson who stretches our imagination and turns reason upside down and inside out. Or August Bradley, who crafts amazing scenes out of his imagination and who cites authors, such as Thomas Pynchon and David Foster Wallace, over fellow photographers as his sources of inspiration.
