DAVID ELLINGSEN PHOTOGRAPHY

Some out-takes from a recent shoot…more to come…

The 2009 Lishui International Photography festival begins today, November 28th, and runs through December 3. I am here as a guest artist with the debut exhibition of my series “Future Imperfect“. All 30 guest artists from North America have their work at the Baiyun Forest Park location with 11 classical Chinese buildings serving as galleries. I expect to run into quite a few of those I met at the Photolucida conference in Portland last spring.

I’ll post another entry with photographs from the show and the city upon my return.

Alongside heavy hitters Diane Arbus and David LaChapelle (and that is just the “D” section), my work has recently been added to Poland’s gorgeous ModernPhoto website. An inspirational site of international photographers…worth a look for anyone interested in photography.

Here’s a bit of information from their website (translated from Polish):
“MODERNPHOTO, most of all, is a subjective collection of the best photo galleries available on the net. On our site we place only carefully selected photography galleries and artists. MODERNPHOTO is for those who are searching for professional photographers, want to check how professional photographs are taken or are just looking for inspiration. Our main purpose is to promote good photography and present interesting artists and their work. The MODERNPHOTO.PL website shows what modern photography is and can be.”
