People love pictures, whether they take the shots or be the subject. Photography has definitely captured everyone’s eyes because of the inspiration it brings and through the years, it gets better, thanks to the latest technology and creative breakthroughs.

Before, taking pictures was limited to professional photographers, but now, anyone can get into serious photography. There are several foundations for taking photographs and one of them is concept-based photography.

Conceptual photography is based on the photographer’s ideas, and can be more abstract than, say, commercial photography. Here’s a short list of conceptual photographs from different artists that will get you hooked on photography.

Joel Robinson, a Canadian photographer who works hard on his staging. His talent and artistic imagination has made him one of the most influential photographers of today’s generation. He’s also good at retouching and post-processing. One of his awesome works is the image above, a girl who is surrounded by books inside the cave.
