Recently discovered a Photographer named David Llada and wanted to share with those who haven't yet seen any of his work. I've only uploaded two images, altered for copyright protection, but I recommend you visit his direct website to see many, many other astonishing photographs.

I consider this inspiration - because as a beginner, in the initial stages of soaking up as much information as possible, sometimes there's interesting find's which somehow help connect the dots or make things more clear for your personal journey, therefore encouraging a more confident and solid pursuit of whatever direction you choose.

There's probably a lot of people here who've already known of David's work, but either way - enjoy the pictures, visit the website, stay motivated.

The second picture creeps me out

Yea, her concentrations pretty intense.

It’s hard to imagine the mental exhaustion after a game like that.

Hi!

Thank you for your kind words. "The Thinkers" sold out shortly following the success of "The Queens Gambit", but it is being reprinted as we speak. I hope it will be available on Amazon and others very soon, in a couple of weeks or so.

Thank you again for your kindness and nice words,

David
