In the age of fast everything, a new generation of photographers is on the rise. Photographers who are willing to take their time before pressing the shutter button. It is said that photography is capturing the fleeting moments yet for capturing these precious moments, photographers need to take their time to shoot. Instagram among other social media networks has opened the gateway for photographers of every level.

From mobile-in-hand photographers to people with the best gear money can buy. The number of photos being shared on social networks has reached a staggering number of billion photos uploaded every day

However, art photography has not diminished and good photos are recognizable among the mist of millions. Ali Nafezarefi is one of the up and coming photographers who takes the time to make what he imagines in his mind eye possible:

He has taken photos from landscapes in a minimal fashion. A patient photographer is what is lacking in today's photography of capturing every moment. He goes for a minimal approach.

Unlike millions of would-be photographers, he does not rely on what is right in front of his very eyes but searches for his subjects. His picture of chess pawns is breath-taking in terms of composition and lighting.

A new generation of photographers are emerging who are more akin to photographers of earlier days. They are obsessed with photography, patient and willing to experiment.
