The episodes in which the heroes retreat towards the setting sun have long become a cinematic cliché. The blatant beauty of such shots played a cruel joke on them, because one cannot mindlessly replicate other people's, even if successful, finds. Aspiring photographer T. J. Scott (and, by the way, an experienced director and screenwriter), keeping this in mind, tries to bypass the swamp of clichés in which young and promising people so often get stuck. Whether the author managed to breathe life into the eternal silhouettes at sunset, judge for yourself.
Los Angeles resident T. J. Scott loves spectacular combinations. The silhouettes he shot at sunset are remembered from the first time, because, like other similar works, they are built on the contrast between a bright background and dark outlines of people. The photographer's task is not only to convey the magic of sunsets, but also to tell about the people captured in numerous photographs. What's going on with them? How do they feel?
T. J. Scott took up photography relatively recently. He earns his bread by writing screenplays for film and television and directing. When filming and television projects are not planned, and the soul craves creativity, T. J. Scott takes up the camera - and hello again, creative.
Why would a television worker suddenly move into a new and unfamiliar sphere? More than three years ago, T. J. Scott scoured the Web for inspirational images. He who seeks will always find - the Flickr albums inspired the director so much that he took out a pretty dusty camera from the mezzanine and went all out, creating content for his own page and trying to keep up with his friends.
The work of a director is significantly different from that of a photographer. But T. J. Scott is mastering an unusual field with interest. What is good for an ordinary photographer is not death for a TV director, of course, but a serious challenge. Are you used to lengthy video sequences? Get one single shot in which you need to compress the past, present and future of the characters!
And no more moving pictures - just frozen moments. And there is no film crew, so there is no one even to drive into the bushes for coffee. Minimalism, silence, rendezvous (or a duel - depending on how the process goes) with a camera. Let the author's responsibility for the result increase, but the pleasure from the process, according to T. J. Scott, is immeasurable.

The most famous photographs and their authors in Tim Montoni's project "Behind Photographs"
Among the many pictures taken in the history of photojournalism, there are especially important ones that have gained worldwide fame, have become symbols of an event. Most people are familiar with the portrait of a green-eyed Afghan girl, or the picture of Vietnamese children fleeing a napalm-burned village. But who took these photos?

20 contrasting photos from the life of the gypsy people
Today it is difficult, perhaps, to find a more controversial ethnic group than the Gypsies. It is not easy for modern people to understand the traditions of the Roma, and they, in turn, continue to live their traditional life, not accepting the foundations of society. Many people associate gypsies with beggars, thieves and beggars, but at the same time, the gypsy elite is so rich that it can compete with famous millionaires. And today many gypsies wander. And those who are still a donkey, and do not think to assimilate with the local population
Glowing female silhouettes in photographs by Christopher Bucklow
The feminine silhouettes shot by Christopher Bucklow give off a radiance. True, the photographer does not trade in advertising posters for psychics who are ready to show what your aura looks like. The series of photographs is called "Guests", or rather "Guests" (the silhouettes are female!), And shows people from whom it becomes light. And the unusual shining "shadow" is nothing more than the sun's rays passed through the perforated foil
