Instant Gratification in the Digital Age

“An instant, a suspended moment, a frozen story, a decisive moment, an extract from a movie… a photographic board extending the reflection in the same way as we could contemplate a painting.” Banner image and words courtesy of Ersen Sariozkan

The Life Framer editors make their pick of the images and stories not included in the judge’s selection for our ‘An Instant’ theme.

Following Olivia Arthur’s selection of winning images for our theme ‘An Instant’, this compilation of 20 images represents some of the other talented photographers whose work struck us and left a mark. Some are more literal representations of the street, and others are more abstract, but each one is a stunning image worthy of exposure and attention. These are intended to be a conversation starter… so feel free to join the discussion on our social networks.

“I started this project ‘Something is falling something is not’ a year ago as a consequence of my relationship with the sky: in those times I would go out from my home every night just to take a deep breath and take a step back from negative thoughts. Every time I looked up at the sky I saw myself in each majestic cloud – clouds that appear to be falling from a sky that is never completely dark”. – Brenda Viaini

Despite the danger, citizen, such as these two women, kept crossing the square to go to the post office, grocery shop etc….Tired of being pictured and recorded without their knowledge by medias they appear on this photograph with covered face to express their disagreement.” – Marie Meneau
