The work of Daro Sulakauri is simply engaging. She is a native of Georgia, the European country and not the southern U.S. state, and she has a gorgeous sense of light. Add an equally sophisticated sense of composition and her photos become near perfect. She’s part of the PDN’s 30 feature on emerging photographers. Her website is deep and there’s a lot to look at. Boy, I wish I could shoot a fraction of what she can.

Three Women is a scripted video cast with actors, produced by Eric Maierson, a producer over at Mediastorm. The video, however, isn’t about moving images. The piece is virtually all still images with voice-over from the actors. Maierson has an interesting perspective:
Photographs tell these stories, not video, as I wanted viewers to have the opportunity to linger, to consider in a way that only still images, in their slowing down of time, can afford.
It’s an interesting short piece that has that strong compositional sense that a still photographer brings to video. It makes me wonder if someone could pull off a longer piece driven almost entirely with still images.
