What constitutes great Railroad Photography?
[Download this photo-essay]4.40 MO – 9 pages – High quality pictures
The Images & Trains Project motto is after all, “Creative Railroad Photography”. Many people I meet wonder just what this means. Why would some pictures be better than others? Isn’t that an “over the top” vision of the I & T people’s work, when compared to other photographer’s work? What about the classic ¾ angled pose with the sun behind the photographer, (also known as wedgies)? Are they so bad? I will atempt to answer these questions within this essay. I will also give you all some clues to creating great railroad photography.

UTM – Underground Train Movement
Dutch langage
UTM – Uderground Train Movement is a Belgian collective that groups some talented photographers. Their work is similar to the one you can discover through this website. The langage may be an issue but Photography is an universal langage and you will easily access to the pictures.
This is a great place to get inspiration, especially if you want some ideas on the way to use wide angle lenses with creativity or to insert humanity on your images. A great website to discover!
The UTM members describe themselve : “Undergound Train Movement is a close group of friends who want to show their creative pictures from the railway scene, not just trains. We go undergound becose we don’t want to have name and fame, we just want to show our pictures based on the undergound scene. Its our goal to do so further in the future with a new website and our own magazine… We would like to inspire other railroad photographers and throw away all those stupid rules about how to take a picture of a train!“
NEW
The UTM now has its website. You will be able to discover galleries from the various members but also a PDF magazine.
