‘A Little Triangle‘ is the work of Córdoba, Argentina-based photographer. I got a tip from an email about her work but can’t tell you much about her, or even her name for that matter since it appears nowhere on her Flickr page. Her name may be Illuvia (which is a beautiful name) and one thing I can tell you for sure is that she has a penchant for capturing some amazing photographs. The one above is now my desktop.
The soft washed-out colors in the photographs of Anna Verlet almost move you toward feeling the environments captured in her images more than seeing them.

The show also features photographs by Anna Shelton & Daren Wilson.

Fashion photographer Luis Sanchis is a real artist with the camera. His ability to compose form, color, subject and lighting is striking. He possesses one of those rare portfolios that once you begin browsing you feel compelled to click on almost every single thumbnail to see each image up close. His work is truly beautiful.
Surreal imagery fills the Flickr-folio of photographer Fenk. The images of what appear to be people who’s heads are exploding into light or glitter are my personal favorites.
Baltimore native and current resident Eric Paltell has some fun, lyrical and surreal photographs in his Flickr-folio.
