The High Line - New York City
An abandoned rail line has become an elevated park known as the High Line. Dense plantings at the southern end heighten the contrast with the old steel structure as well as with the cityscape. The Standard Hotel, one of three buildings that cross over the High Line, is on the right.
Bride and Groom, Malaysia
Photograph by Naqib Albar, Your Shot
I wanted to capture this picture to show the viewer the beautiful detail and color of the bride and groom’s attire. Despite the fact that it rained heavily on their wedding day their spirits weren’t dampened.
Serpent Still Lifes
The first time I photographed a snake up close, I nearly fainted. I’d always found them terrifying, but also fascinating—an attraction-repulsion I think most people experience when they encounter beautiful animals that creep or crawl. My goal with this series is to explore that intersection of human emotions.
I started out doing commercial work, but I wanted more control. Still-life shoots led to a project on venom, and that’s what got me here. Now herpetologists, museums, and shops furnish me with snakes in all colors, textures, and dimensions. They also provide invaluable expertise. When eight easily riled cobras got loose, I knew not to budge.
Each photography session takes about 45 minutes. The expert corrals the snakes into a cloth-lined, clear plastic-sided box. Then I stand two feet away, pull back the top, point my camera—I still prefer the look of film—and wait for patterns and curves to emerge.
This series has been good therapy and education for me: I can handle snakes now and have learned a lot about different species. But I’ve learned most by watching people react to these images. Their fear and desire reveals something primal about our species. —Guido Mocafico
