    A Selection of Great Super Dark Black and White Photos

    Some months ago we launched an experiment in our playground to search for photos by color. This week we continued working on it and made a lot of different queries. One of them: search for super dark black and white photos – the ones with no saturation and the lowest possible brightness. See a great gallery of those in this article.

    Light is Magical: A Talk With Li Hui

    Photography is not only an act of documentation or communication, it is also a way of seeing the world. The camera opens our eyes and lets us see what lies behind the obvious, we start looking at things as potential subjects of a photograph. Every leak of light unveils secrets that talented photographers turn into a piece of art. Li Hui is one of those gifted artists. We talked to her about her work and her sensitive photographs that picture a wonderful vulnerability.
