Everyone’s Talking About What This Shy Photographer Did. When You See This, You’ll Understand Why.
A couple of years ago, Kyle Thompson became interested in photography. Unfortunately, his anxiety prevented him from talking to people, so he opted to experiment with self-portraits.
He would spend hours, even days, walking alone through forests and exploring abandoned houses. He’s been to over 50 of them. After taking hundreds of photos, he posted some of his best to Reddit. From there, his life changed forever.
During college, Kyle was interested in photography but had no idea what to do with his life.
He didn’t think he could survive as an artist.

His work is incredibly unique. When he took these photos, he had no idea that his talent would change his life.

Those are not headlights. Kyle clamped two desk lights to a chair and used a fog machine.

After his work went viral, Kyle decided to dive into photography full time. He even quit his job delivering pizzas. Good choice.
Kyle’s unique self-portraits were captured with a Canon 60D, a 50mm 1.8 lens, a tripod, and a timer.
He is now living his dream as a photographer. His work can be seen in multiple magazines. You can visit Kyle’s site, like him on Facebook, or check out his Flickr account.

interesant
e prima data cand am auzit de el,dar are o perspectiva unica
Uau. Mie imi place sa ma joc de-a fotograful (nu prea am insa cu ce), dar ce am invatat eu este ca o fotografie buna nu inseamna neaparat o imagine frumoasa ci trebuie sa aiba in spate o poveste pe care sa ti-o spuna (arate). Nu degeaba a ajuns faimos, unele din imaginile sale au un impact emotional destul de puternic. Din cele de sus m-a impresionat cea cu marginea soselei, balta, vaporase şi (banuiesc eu) fotograful...eu as fi intitulat-o "visuri pierdute pe marginea unui drum".
da, si pt mine e prima data si m-a impresionat f mult..multumesc tuturor ca ati trecutpe la noi
Super interesante fotografiile! Inedite!
O seara frumoasa!
Imaginatie si talent, arta si dragoste pentru frumos. Superbe imaginile prezentate! Fiecare fotografie povesteste un roman.
