fotoblur Magazine - Issue 1

fotoblur

Welcome to the inaugural issue of Fotoblur Maga-zine. The images you are about to enjoy have been submitted and selected by members of the web-based photo community Fotoblur (fotoblur.com).

For many years photographers have enjoyed the ability to display and share their work over the web. This capability has brought about a move-ment in photographic arts which has never been seen before. Even with such innovations in photo sharing, talented photographers sometimes find it difficult to get noticed in massive online photo galleries. Fotoblur Magazine aims to provide a platform for promoting such artists in hopes they may find a broader audience.

For this inaugural issue I have the honor of pre-senting the fine photography of Alper Çukur. His work epitomizes this new movement in photog-raphy with images that transcend space and time, recorded in ways our eyes can not see, evoking deep emotion.

This issue would also not be possible without the amazing work from the great people at Foto-blur. Our title is “The Beginning,” as we hope to continue creating Fotoblur Magazine quarterly. If your images are unique we would love to see them. Visit us at fotoblur.com/submit.

FEATURED PHOTOGRAPHER

ALPER ÇUKURIn my opinion, photography is not about creating a copy of the world as you see it through your eyes. I always try to involve my emotions, and allow my creative vision to create aesthetically pleasing images.

- ALPER ÇUKUR
