This photographer has a series on NYC and what the city looks like when there is no one around, or it is very desolate. This series is absolutely beautiful, and I have been intrigued by the idea since I came across his work. I also think the way he uses the borders of the photographs and makes them antique-looking is a beautiful way to incorporate the entire idea. I think I also chose this photographer because I miss black and white quite a lot, and the way he shoots, especially in this image, makes me miss it even more. The fog in this photograph and the light is quite beautiful, and reminds me of a dream.

I saw his work in a magazine of mine and absolutely loved the way he photographed stairs. I think it's quite incredible the angles and compositions he uses to compile these structures, and I also like the images because I have always found staircases to be interesting. The colors in the images; including this one, are quite incredible as well. I like the blue and orange, and how vibrant the sky is against the dark staircase that leads the viewers eye up to the sky itself. I believe that using the wide-angle lens worked to his advantage with these images and what he was shooting, and the shadows on the ground and light from the windows really adds to the photograph quite nicely.

With this series, Marcellini has been shooting animals, like this jellyfish, on a white background with really flat/bright studio lighting. He has been compared to Avedon, and even though Marcellini's work is incredible, I don't think that just because the photos for this series are in a studio, and the lighting is flat with a black backround, makes Marcellini like Richard Avedon. This is my favorite image by Marcellini, mostly because the colors really pop and are incredibly beautiful. You start to look at nature and wildlife in a different way with these images and I absolutely love that, especially since I love nature photography.
