Photographer’s Spotlight: Gregory Prescott – “Photography for the SOUL”

Art

Gregory Prescott is an emerging, self-taught photographer whose mission is “to diversify the cultural spectrum in fine art photography with classical and timeless pieces.” I was introduced to him when I saw photographs of an up and coming model I recognized, and I’ve admired his work ever since. I’m glad he agreed to be second in the spotlight. Prescott does fine art, fashion, and portrait photography. He currently resides in…

Art

Greetings, fellow humans! How are you all doing today? You all should know that I love to feature art and photos here on NIA SPEAKS.

Pointillism by Nia Langley

Art

If you read the About Nia section, you’d know that I practice the art of pointillism in which small distinct dots create a big picture. Everything in this album is done by yours truly and consists of numerous dots from Sharpie markers. My first pointillism picture. The final product. Supposedly Tyra Banks I’m not gonna lie. I am disappointed in my Tyra piece. It looks nothing like her. Ugh. That’s…

3D Street Art!

Art

Please do not tell me that I am the only person who thinks this type of work is INCREDIBLE! The term “3D street art” is pretty self explanatory, but for those who don’t know, 3D street artists paint on a street or sidewalk to make a picture that looks 3-dimensional. Understood? Great. I’m focusing on two artists in particular today: Jullian Beever and Edgar Mueller. I’m not going to talk…
