Photographer Julia O’Farrow is a Brooklyn-based visual storyteller working across film and photography. With a cinematic eye shaped by years of collecting and studying images, she brings intention and energy to everything she turns her lens toward — from street portraits to cultural moments alive with community. We’re thrilled to feature her in this edition of the Flickr x Black Women Photographers Spotlight.
The #TwitterTuesday theme we announced yesterday was #hands, a theme that simple or not simple. We’ve got tremendous submissions not only in amount but also the creativity. You showed us so many possibilities that our hands could do, so as your imaginations.
Some said that two of the most beautiful parts of our body are our #hands. Hands do not only hold, throw, give and receive things, but also have great ability to express our subtle feelings to others.
Richard Renaldi believes we are all connected. The New York City fine art photographer is the man behind “Touching Strangers,” the wildly popular photo series that explores human connection through intimate portraits of people who have never met.
“My perception of ballerinas, as a feminist, was that they were starving themselves for their job, that they were doing what they did for a man that was telling them what to do, that they didn’t want to grow up,” says Lucy Gray. “But,” she adds, “as a photographer, your job is to hunt down your prejudices and get rid of them.”
The theme for last week’s #FlickrFriday was #UnexpectedDetail.
