Photographer and talented digital manipulator, Thierry Cohen, displays photographs depicting what today's largest cities would look like sans light pollution. The results are both breathtaking and eerily apocalyptic.

Hans Kruse's traipsing across the world begets many beautiful landscape photos like the one above. This one I found thanks to Reddit's Earthporn.

Know your lighting: Photographer Candy Yam
I follow a number of photographers, some professional and some amateur. Many of them inspire me. It's the angles they shoot, the subjects they capture, the lighting they push into a scene. Candy Yam pretty much just nails humanity. She is a master of flattering light, both soft and hard, natural and contrived. She shoots flattering angles, and weaves story into every frame she captures.
Every new project she unleashes is phenomenal.
For the gearheads out there, she is a Sony A7r user.
Children and their bedrooms →
“Some kids grow up in poverty, lacking food and sanitation, while others are born in countries where basic necessities are taken for granted. Photographer James Mollison came up with the project when he thought about his own childhood bedroom and how it reflected who he was. Where Children Sleep – a collection of stories about children from around the world told through portraits of their bedrooms – stemmed from his ideas.”

DPReview: X-A1 does IR
It is refreshing when the photographer gets in the way of the technology, and creates something refreshing. DPReview reader, tolleknolle, tricks out the Fujifilm forums with a handful of soft, atmospheric IR photography which split from the norm. They just happen to be taken with a Fujifilm X-A1. And, they are worth a peak.
Martin Irwin: Sakura 2014
It's that time of year again, when the Tokyo documenters like Martin Irwin hit the streets with their favourite bokeh-making lenses and shoot pink flowers and orange lamps. In Sakura 2014, Martin introduces this year's 'special edition', a happy frolicking two weeks, where, between thawing asphalt and blooming trees, Tokyoites drink themselves silly on crap beer and blankets of bright, pollen.
The trip to Sakura 2014 is worth it.
Going wide in Ebisu

Martin Irwin: (De)lightful Tokyo
For a while now Ω has been a fan of Martin Irwin's photography and frank reviews. He has an eye for shadows, converging lines, and the modern human element. If you want to observe Tokyo life whilst skipping around the fartsy world of the self-proclaimed street photographer, Martin's work will get you there. The lad's weapon of choice is the silent Sony RX1 and his English good looks.
His latest photographic delights can be found below:
Photographer Masahiro Makino
Another flickr photographer I've followed for a couple of years is the talented Masahiro Makino, a master of detail and delicacy. His work hones in on the unique and beautiful Japanese city of Kyoto. Mostly, Masahiro works in hi-contrast colour. He loves shallow focus, food, and rituals.
