Filip Pizlo / Photography

I'm a PhD student in compuer science and founder of Fiji Systems Inc. who also likes to take some pictures. I've been doing it for over ten years. I like to photograph everything from landscapes to models. This page has some of my best photos.

More of me on other sites:

  • Flickr (see here for the latest images)
  • Facebook (become my fan)
  • MM (my ModelMayhem page)
  • OMP (my One Model Place page)

Color Landscapes

I started out by shooting landscapes. The photos here cover a period of seven years. These days, I typically shoot one landscape image a year.

Most of these photos are shot on film, though the more recent ones are digital. I've used a variety of equipment: a Canon 20D, Yashica Mat 124G, Leica M4-2, EOS 1v, Bessa-R, and an Olympus E-P1. About half of these are from Arizona; the rest are from California, Indiana, Washington, Poland, and Brazil.

Fashion and Glamour

I sometimes like to photograph models. It's interesting - both more challenging and more flexible than other styles.

These images were taken with a variety of talented models from around the country. Locations include Indiana, Illinois, Washington, Nevada, California, New York, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Colorado. All of these images are digital, and were taken with either my Canon 20D, 30D, or 50D.

Black and White

Notable black and white images, featuring a variety of subjects - including landscape, street, portraiture, live performance, and still life. Many of these images were taken with a Leica M4-2; this remains my most potent tool for doing classic black and white work. Some images were taken with a Yashica Mat 124G, EOS 1v, EOS 20D, EOS D30, or a Bessa-R. Locations include California, Washington, Indiana, Washington D.C., and Poland.

Color and Tone

Colorful images of a variety of subjects. Their main draw is from the combination of colors rather than the subject they depict. These were shot with my EOS 20D, EOS 1v, Leica M4-2, Praktica MTL5b, Yashica Mat 124G, and Olympus E-P1.

Images that lack category. This includes self-portraits, pictures of friends, and pictures from various business trips. All these are shot with either the EOS 20D, 30D, or 50D.
