Landscapes and the wonders of nature are elements that have inspired and motivated Swedish photographer Marco Calandra's art over the years, ever since he left his studies in engineering management in 2010 to switch to photography. "I am most fascinated by places with no human presence, so I can capture the wildest part of nature by capturing its silence. I prefer to follow the light because it is what transforms a landscape from ordinary to artistic."Landscapes and the wonders of nature are elements that have inspired and motivated Swedish photographer Marco Calandra's art over the years, ever since he left his studies in engineering management in 2010 to switch to photography. "I am most fascinated by places with no human presence, so I can capture the wildest part of nature by capturing its silence.

What is a lens hood and why do I need one?A lens hood is a lens attachment. It protrudes in front of the lens to form a lens hood. A lens hood protects the lens from unnecessary light and mechanical damage.Advantages of the lens hood:➕ Helps to preserve the contrast of the photo when the light source enters the frame➕Keeps stray rays and shadows out➕Can smooth out scratches, smudges and imperfections on the lens or light filter➕Clears haze and distortion of colour rendering➕Protect the lens from falls, fingerprints and precipitation❗️When choosing a lens hood, look for the material. Plastic ones protect your lens from dropping while the rubber ones are easy to transport.

A kiss outside the Hôtel de Ville, circa 1950. Robert DuanoRobert Doisneau wandered the streets of Paris with a Leica camera, capturing the daily life of the city. This snapshot, taken by chance, lay forgotten in the photographer's archives for more than 30 years - until it was published in Life magazine.The shot is often compared to Brassaï's Lovers in Paris Café and Eisenstadt's Kiss in Times Square. These images create an image of love that has been picked up by filmmakers.Duano's photography has cemented Paris's fame as the city of love. It captures not casual passers-by - the photographer saw actors Françoise Delbar (Borneau) and Jacques Carteau in the street, who were in love and, according to them, were doing nothing but walking and kissing. Duano asked to repeat the kiss on camera - so the shot is staged. That didn't embarrass the photographer. "I don't shoot life as it is, but as I would like it to be" he explained his stance.#history

⚡️Question for a puzzleGeorge Eastman was an American entrepreneur and inventor. For example, it was he who created flexible film - thanks to this Thomas Edison was able to invent film. But that's not Eastman's only contribution to the development of photography.

Jim Dow "My interest in photography stems from its capacity for accurate description. I use photography to try to capture the human ingenuity and spirit still evident in the everyday landscape of our country."American photographer Jim Doe's (1942) interest in the places where people carry out their daily rituals, from the barbershop to the baseball park, shaped his career as a photographer. Between 1967 and 1977, the first decade of his career as a photographer, he travelled the old US highways on numerous cross-country trips, focusing his large-format camera on worn-out signs, snack bars, gas stations, billboards, car cinemas, snack bars and kiosks.Doe aims to capture "human ingenuity and spirit" in endangered structures.Most of the objects photographed by Doe have long since disappeared.Jim Dow "My interest in photography stems from its capacity for accurate description.
