This week in Editors' Choice: Conceptual suggestions

Each week, members of the 500px team curate eye-catching photography from our talented and diverse community in Editors’ Choice. This week in Editors’ Choice, we delved into conceptual picks that explore subliminal storylines and hint at a broader—at times, emotionally complex—narrative. Check out this week’s Editors’ Choice selections and discover some of the best photography on 500px today.

Our take on this shot: “Despite the bright colors and the model’s prominent pose, her gaunt stare draws your eye immediately and perfectly aligns with the photo’s title, ‘The Lost Swimmer.’ Coupled with the scattered ice, this conceptual portrait makes it impossible not to wonder what her whole (potentially darker) story is.”

Our take on this shot: “The photographer’s backdrop of glass windows paired with the spindly baby’s breath branches are a distinctive nod to the photo’s title, ‘Fragile.’ The placement of the sprig of flowers, how they’re almost tucked away yet still exposed, add an interesting metaphorical layer of fragility to the model’s obscured face.”
