Blaine Harrington


Blaine Harrington is a travel photographer, and has been published in a wide variety of magazines. His images are razor sharp and beautiful. They are stunning in color, and evoke exotic images of days long past. His photographs of camels in front of the Taj Mahal and fishermen at dusk in Indonesia are just wonderful. It does not even detract from the images to hear that he hired the camels and their owners to walk in front of the Taj Mahal to make the image more memorable. The only criticism I have is that all of his images have the same yellow orange color. They are beautiful, but it looks to me like Harrington has discovered an image that works, and is sticking to it. In his slide shows, the photographs are much more natural, so it appears that when he has an exhibit, he sticks with what works - stunning but very similar images.
