Strange and bizarre images fill the portfolio of photographer Holger Pooten. Things exploded, women pissing, bleeding, people about to be thrown and well you know, that kind of stuff. Crazy and hyper-surreal.
Exceptional photography by Joey Lawrence. Classic and refined imagery that you won’t forget.
There are some really original images in the portfolio of photographer Peter Lippmann.
Really beautiful images in the portfolio of photographer David Potes.
A little more about him from his site:
“Born in San Diego, California and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, David Potes has always been committed to the arts and photography. In 2001, after many years of producing small, limited edition zines, David, his brother Ray Potes and friend Stefan Simikich began publishing a quarterly black and white photography magazine called Hamburger Eyes. Focused primarily on documentary street photography, the magazine has enjoyed exponential success throughout the years and most recently has been published into a book by PowerHouse Books.
David’s primary aesthetic is in documentary photography, focusing on people and landscapes. However, with his background in self-publishing, he strives to move within multiple genres of the medium. Now living and working in New York City, David has become involved in both the commercial and fine art photography community. As a freelance photographer, production coordinator and photography assistant in both fashion and product photography, he has had the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients as well as some of the top photographers in the city.”
David Rowan is a talented photographer and artist. He graduated from the Kent Institute of Art and Design in 1998 with a BA in Visual Communication/Photographer. He has also studied graphic design and fine art. He has worked professionally for over 10 years. Since 2001 he has been working with the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery managing the photographic studio and supplying digital imaging of the entire range of the museum’s art and history collections.
Interesting work in the portfolio of photographer Alan Cook.
Chenman seamlessly combines 3d rendering with photography to create some beautiful images. She originally made a name for herself doing covers for the Chinese magazine ‘Vision’ and has since continued on to create work for Vogue, Elle, Bazaar, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan and Esquire Magazine. She does all of her post-production work herself. Amazing.
Absolutely amazing set of images at the Boston Globe summarizing 2008 in photographs. There are some unforgettable images in the album.
Does anyone remember the scene from Point Break when crazy Swazey catches the giant wave at the end of the film? Yeah you do. Don’t lie.
It appears the incredibly talented renaissance man Marcus Eriksson has updated the always inspiring Subdisc with some new stunning photography work. I have been a fan for some time.
Absolutely beautiful landscape photography has been captured by German-born photographer Florian Maier-Aichen and can be seen at the Blum and Poe Gallery in Los Angeles.
I absolutely love the Giant Bonsais series from photographer Garry Trinh. I noticed the same phenomenon when I lived in Florida and always found it fascinating how nature could so readily adapt itself to mankind’s cluttered mess. It was really cool to see someone had noticed the same thing and taken the time to go out and capture it for all to see. Its the kind of thing you pass by everyday but when you stop to ponder it for a moment, it makes you wonder just how long it would take the world to grow right over our existence were we to disappear.
Note: I do realize that the trees are cut that way originally but over time it seemed like they just kept growing that way around the power lines. I don’t know. It just made wonder. I always thought it was very strange.
Really stunning photographs from Samantha Casolari.
On a sidenote, I have really got to go to Burning Man. It looks like it must just be blast. I think you just point a camera at something there and end up with something no one has ever seen before.
Wow, I gotta lay down some memories here because the flickr-folio of Carlos who also has a site called Miami Fever brought back so damned many visions of that city it hit me like a wave. I lived in Miami for a year and it has to be one of the hardest, craziest most surreal years of my life. That city is wild. It’s harsh, it’s beautiful, it’s sexy, it’s cruel, it’s illegal, it’s fun, it’s evil humid, it’s stinky sweet, it’s mean, and it is hotter than hell almost all year long. You can’t escape the heat either because of the humidity. You adapt after a while and your skin and hair look great but coming from Colorado it was a rough adaptation.
There are some of the most amazingly beautiful women you have ever dreamed of in your life there. The humidity is choking even at night and there are always rings around the street lights and cockroaches scurrying in the gutter. There are silicone boobs, wannabe rappers and sixpacks everywhere you look on Miami Beach and a good mojito is going to cost you at least 12 bucks. You can have some of the best times you have ever imagined and then the next second have a bloody lip lying on the floor in detox. I made shit money there, but had some amazing times. Denver is a lot more easy living but there was a desperate beauty about Miami that (sorry to sound corny, but it is absolutely true) still haunts my dreams.
You can really get a sense of all that at Miami Fever. You can almost feel it and smell it.
Fantastic photographic projects from swiss-born, Montreal-based Thomas Kneubuhler.
The strange but fascinating photography of Julian Wolkenstein.
Beautiful fashion photography from Krikis Thanassis.
Absolutely beautiful fashion photography from Lalo Gonzalez. It was impossible choosing just one to show. Amazing work. Amazing talent.
