Edgar Martins

Edgar Martins has some interesting night photographs taken along Portuguese beaches. See his Accidental Theorist portfolio. Although there's an unmistakable similarity to Michael Kenna's black-and-white beach work, Martins shoots in color and records the sky as jet black. I think the black sky effect is very compelling.

I couldn't figure out how to extract a direct link to Martins' photographs. So here's the step-by-step recipe to find them: Go his website -> click on the "P" -> click PHOTOGRAPHY -> click ACCIDENTAL THEORIST -> click the white PHOTOS box.

Seen in J. Wesley Browns' We Can Shoot Too blog.

I think its important for people to understand that Edgar Martins makes liberal use of Digital Imaging.

Quite egregious actually.

The following PDN article details this:

I think this should be noted.

Nice work but these are not "photographs".
