Digital Publication for Fashion, Design, Architecture, Art, Photography and Graphics.
If the models, oblivious to the camera, lost in thought and hardly striking voguish poses, don’t spell it out, the grainy texture of these photographs make sure the cinematic feel isn’t lost on anyone. Ewa Adriana Szumowska, a Polish photographer, infuses her work with dreamy fuzziness, blurring the lines between here and some other, distant place not quite of our dimension, with [...]

John Fulton’s a Colorado native and a Georgia adoptee with a heart as gallant and congenial as the Empire State itself, if his clients’ testimonies are anything to go by. For this self-confessed “obsessed” photographer, “work rarely ever feels like work” – and his results are ample proof that this professed enjoyment does infuse his photo shoots and diligent retouching to the [...]

Anna Ådén, a 25-year-old freelance photographer from Sweden, epitomizes the serenity we – or maybe it’s just me? – like to associate with those far-off realms, the Scandinavian expanses that once inspired the likes of Hans Christian Andersen. Her portrait photos are as magical as a story, one spun with swan-like blondes and suave caresses, often framed by a chilly spot of [...]

Gray areas are all around us nowadays – in case you haven’t already heard about it, there’s one between installation and photography, and smack in the middle of it, on site to set the dreary gray ablaze with a warm, delicate glow, is Norwegian artist Rune Guneriussen. He sets off for some remote place, with a litter of lamps in tow – [...]

Photographer Rebecca Finch’s “Sleepwalker Series” features a diverse bunch of settings, both outdoorsy and behind claustrophobically closed doors, where she inserts herself wearing only her pajamas, or some variation thereof. Rebecca makes for an unobtrusive main character, looking lost in thought – or sleep, as it were – and un-self-conscious throughout. Seen sequentially, the self-portraits leave us with an eerie voyeuristic sensation, [...]

For his Geometer’s Playground, Robert Arn didn’t take one picture of the Wyoming nightscape, in stead he took a bunch and stitched them together for a 360-degrees composite image which brings us this: a warped vision of reality, something you’d find in impressionistic paintings or… Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas – to name just one flick where the camera mimics the [...]

Taylor Paige Reynolds is a self-styled “photographer/student/lover of awful horror films” whose Flickr photostream is quasi-evenly divided between male and female subjects who pop into clear view framed by a usually bucolic background. This young photographer’s love for the subjects in her body of work is more often than not emphasized through a shallow depth of field, but the nature can also [...]

You know how filmmakers Photoshop the younger versions of their characters together for a nostalgic shot of the homestead mantle? Well, in real life, people actually grow old and there’s nothing staged about it. Or is there?… These photos are not much to look at individually, but when put side by side, they reveal a neat and quirky idea that ordinary people [...]

Annie Leibovitz is growing on me – she came to my attention through her Fairytale photos, which involved a slew of today’s well-known actors posing as some of our beloved (or not so much so) characters from children’s books. But now that I see her passing on her calling and panache to one of her former assistants, now big-time The New Yorker [...]

SalaMagica, the portfolio of photographer Ricardo Salamanca, is as multilayered and as expressive as digital manipulation gets. I don’t know if one could objectively pick out a pinnacle of craftsmanship, or even choose a top five out of this impressive collection. Everything is wonderfully relative, there’s no sure-footed interpretation of scenes where animals dress up as animals, or a clay-like mouth cartoon [...]

We’ve long established photography is an art form – but who, aside from the professional lensman, knew that cameras may be works of art in themselves, even before snapping a thing? Kurt Mottweiler has the pinhole-camera market cornered and the art buffs scratching their heads in surprise, as the curvaceous designs of his photo devices render the tools of the photographic trade [...]

Is it a drawing? Is it a photo? No, it’s art, pure and simple, and needs no other labels. This new form of binding sketched works and sceneries together into a flight of fancy hails from the mind of Ben Heine. In keeping with earlier works of his, bundled under the Pencil Vs Camera creative series umbrella, here are some of the [...]
