Continuing my photographic tour of websites in Eastern Europe, today I have highlighted photographers and travel photography in Lithuania.
Antanas Sutkus was one of the founding members of the Photography Art Society of Lithuania in 1969, which championed photography as an art form and is credited with gaining recognition for Lithuanian photographers on the national and international scene. He is currently the Chair of the Lithuanian Union of Art Photography. Sutkus' work is held in the photography collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum of London.
Romualdas Pozerskis photographs the richly coloured four seasons of Lithuania. I particularly like his black and white Little Alphonso series, which I highlighted several months ago.
Efendi Art Studio's site contains an interesting selection of manipulated images of Vilnius' Old Town.
Rich Benda's black and white images of Vilnius' Old Town, streets and churches are crisp and rich in detail.
Remigijus Audiejaitis is a blind Lithuanian photographer who is planning to photograph the street brawls he hears around him in Vilnius. While he has been taking photos for four years, unfortunately the story does not report on reactions of those who have seen his images. I am guessing his work is probably along the lines of the Don't Think, Just Shoot genre of Lomo photography.
Finally, a slight photographic detour back to Estonia: Photoblogger Scott of EdgeCurve visited Tallinn last year and photographed its cathedrals, alleys, and houses.
I'll pick up this thread again in Part III of my selection of Eastern Europe photography sites, focusing next on Riga and Latvian photography later in the week.
