I would like to say thank you to all, it is an honor to be selected by your peers.
The next Artist Challenge is… Edwin S. Loyola
Edwin S. Loyola is a visual artist from the Philippines he loves taking photos of ordinary things and turning them into Art.
Bio
Photography goes beyond passion. And no one has defined every fiber of these words more distinctly than Edwin S. Loyola, who has virtually changed the landscape of contemporary Philippine photography not only with his sublime artistry but with the gift of his heart, crossing the boundary between the state of genius and social responsibility. A highly celebrated photographer in the Philippines and abroad, Loyola's photography does not only speak of trans mundane art but also of truth, hope, courage and charity - proving that his works go beyond passion and thus, are a celebration of life. Acclaimed as the "Dark Artist" by prominent art critics for his affinity to dark tones as influenced by the works of Ansel Adams, his mastery of photography has stemmed not only from his astute understanding of the craft, but was born from a higher vision - the innate desire to popularize photography, to create appreciation of the art and beauty of life through ingenuity, and to give back to God and to the society through charity. Eminently regarded within the photography circle for his numerous awards under his name, this master photographer travels the world not for pleasure, but to share his knowledge, his friendship and his heart to people who want to discover the wonders and magic of photography as captured by his imagination through his lens. After more than 15 years of photography experience, he has gained a massive following from the four corners of the globe, supporting him in all of his endeavors primarily on his advocacy to educate new photographers through his successful series of Beyond Passion Photography Workshop and on his altruistic pursuit to save kids with cancer through his own charity group, Mission: Save Kids with Cancer. Edwin S. Loyola. Advocate. Visionary. Altruist. Going beyond passion. - by Jaypee Belarmino
Congratulations on winning the Thomas Leuthard challenge @zabcoloma and thanks for hosting the new one. I'll study Edwing Loyola´s work and try to do something to participate :)
I love his work, and there's so much that I can learn from it. Great choice! I've never participated before, am I restricted to one entry or can I enter one photo per day during the contest period?
Zab, I took you up on the challenge. I'm not sure I've quite accomplished the same quality of work as Edwin Loyola, but I tried. So far I've tagged three that somewhat replicate one of his styles.
I shot this one last night (and only used Lightroom to adjust the exposure and contrast). The more I look at it, the more I realize that there are a few more tweaks that I should have made, but all in all I'm really happy with how this turned out!
@golftragic upload your picture in the usual way and tag it artistchallenge-edwinloyola if you then want to copy it to this thread go to the picture and where the symbols are there are three little dots, click on these and copy the embeding code. Come back to this thread and paste and it will appear - not a daft question at all! Good Luck ;o)
This is one of mine, I am really enjoying playing with this challenge, no-where near the standard of Edwin S Loyola (nor the others posting!) but this has really inspired me to try new things
Tweets ahoy!
