Mike Shulhan is a photographer from Calgary, Canada. The work that first caught my attention was his wonderful series of Johanna; his work is very versatile and accomplished. He does it all with very little retouching (maybe even none) which is something that I really admire - for me, it gives a much stronger connection to the subject.
You can find his portfolio site here and you can also follow him on Tumblr.
Mike shoots some great portraits:
And beautiful landscapes:
Skin-smoothing is bullshit. It’s the fucking worst photographic trend of 2013. Yes, it has been done for ages but last year is the worst I’ve ever seen.
I don’t understand why one feels the need to panel beat an incredible face into a store mannequin. I have never seen a good photograph improved by obliterating the subject. There is a whole section of the photographic community that is just sleepwalking into mediocrity.
Skin is beautiful; I salute everyone that celebrates it.
