Two Photographers

Photographs aren’t always art – anyone can snap a picture. Real photographers have the eye, the skills with light and exposure, and the ability to set up situations where subjects feel comfortable really letting their personalities come through. Both of today’s subjects are capital ‘P’ Photographers, but with different, individual styles.

Samantha Joy tends toward rich looks that emphasize film grain and saturated colors. Darwin Mulligan‘s work is somehow smoother – he manages to get a “studio lit” look even outdoors on locations. Samantha’s Wisconsin based, Darwin’s based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, though he travels extensively. Samantha focuses on weddings, while Mulligan has a long list of commercial work as well as doing weddings, engagements, portraits and landscapes.

They both have blogs with lots of pictures. Check ‘em out.
