Jarrett Murphy, Route 531, Spencerport, New York, 2008

I saw this picture (above) on Flak Photo the other day and was very impressed. Jarrett Murphy makes long exposures and paints his landscapes with light, creating an almost other-wordly effect. I hadn’t seen this done much, though my buddy Wesley Brown over at We Can Shoot Too alerted me to the brilliance of British photographer Tim Simmons, who uses a similar technique. So today we get two for one!

These images are pretty spectacular- it seems as though a lot of work that would normally done in post are done in camera- the edges are smoothed over, the light glows. You could put a car in there, and voila! An ad!

Below, six from Simmons.
