Traditional photographers create wedding images that are mostly posed and scripted and where the photographer takes posed pictures of the entire family and/or bridal party together. Usually, high level of the intrusion is involved. Sometimes there is a great amount of frustration is also involved because of the artificial posing. Wedding Photography generally means informal photojournalism and photographers usually aim for catching original moments through candid shots from a distance.

Digital Wedding Photography is a form of contemporary photography that uses digital technology to make images of subjects. Until the advent of such technology, photography used photographic film to create images which could be made visible by photographic processing.

Every piece of art is an experiment for Picci Designs, and its founders wouldn’t have it any other way. When artists Laszlo Tihany and Linda Colino formed Picci Designs in 1994, it was a collaboration built on innovation and supported by the artistic philosophy they share: “Strength in simplicity of design.” Blending contemporary, impressionistic and primitive styles, Picci Designs’ artwork comes alive in metal sculptures, abstract painting, African tribal masks, abstract photography, and art deco clocks and mirrors.

Laszlo Tihany is a world-renowned artist from Hungary who spent time exploring the artistic worlds of Italy, Germany and France before immigrating to the United States in 1973. Five years later, he settled in Arizona, inspired by the desert’s “uncorrupted innocence.” Since then, Laszlo’s work has achieved international acclaim – especially for his metal sculptures – and his pieces are now in private collections all over the world.

Haunted: Contemporary Photography, Video, Performance

Product Description
Much of contemporary photography and video seems haunted by the past, by ghostly apparitions that are reanimated in reproductive media, as well as in live performance and the virtual world. By using dated, passe or quasi-extinct stylistic devices, subject matter and technologies, these arts can embody a melancholic longing for an otherwise unrecuperable past. Haunted: Contemporary Photography/Video/Performance examines the myriad ways by which photographic imagery is incorporated into recent art practices, and in the process underscores the unique power of reproductive media-while documenting a widespread contemporary obsession with accessing and retrieving the past. The works included in Haunted range from individual photographs and photographic series, to sculptures and paintings that incorporate photographic elements, to videos, film, performance and site-specific installations. Drawn primarily from the Guggenheim collection and its recent acquisitions, Haunted features major artists such as Marina Abramovi?, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Christian Boltanski, Sophie Calle, Gregory Crewdson,…

Your wedding day is a day that will live in your memory for a lifetime; but it will also live in the pictures captured throughout your wedding ceremony and reception. Choosing a photographer for your wedding is more than deciding who you want to be with you throughout the day; it’s choosing the style in which you want your wedding pictures to be presented. And many modern brides are choosing contemporary wedding photography.

Contemporary wedding photography is defined by a modern approach to a traditional custom. While traditional wedding photography often captures a conglomerate of formally posed pictures, contemporary wedding photography often focuses on a more journalistic style of capturing photos. The result is a more candid style of photography that often captures moments that traditional photography tends to miss.

Gone are the days of wedding photography by the numbers. Today’s wedding photographers are showcasing their talent, creativity, and…
