Wonderfully Timeless Contemporary Photography (20 photos)



Croatia-born photographer Stanko Abadžic finds beauty in simple moments. Shot in black and white, his street photography is characterized by strong contrasts of light and dark, his attention to geographic forms and his eye for long shadows.

Lee Library at Brigham Young University. A team of two full time employees and about 10 students at the Multimedia Production unit came up with the idea, shot it, and edited it in less than a month. The actor is BYU student, Stephen Jones...a dapper, young fellow, I might… Continue
