observing the masses

well, massimo vitali is not a guy who puts his vacation photos on the web but an interesting photographer who loves observing the masses while, in most cases, they get fried in the sun. looks delicious, made me hungry for more and actually his portfolio is a pretty interesting collection of human fries.

really like the work done by fabien baron from baron & baron in new york. some of the work on his website is now almost a bit outdated but most stuff is pretty timeless and i like it as much now as when i saw it for the first time a few years back.

200 gallon water tank landscape photography
Posted on | May 20, 2009 | No Comments
pretty cool and definitely a different kind of landscape photography. the artist kim keever’s large-scale photographs are created by meticulously constructing miniature topographies in a 200-gallon tank, which is then filled with water. these dioramas of fictitious environments are brought to life with colored lights and the dispersal of pigment, producing ephemeral atmospheres that he quickly captures with his large-format camera.

plastic bags like silk dresses
Posted on | May 3, 2009 | No Comments
wow, take a look at how poetic these prints look like, almost as if they were a modern still-life painting. the chinese artist huang xu takes shreds of used plastic bags and makes 3d scans, then takes the scan data and turns them into 3d models, illuminates them and makes prints of it. pretty amazing if you think about turning one of the cheapest products on earth, a simple plastic bag into a silk dress impression – a metaphor of the old and new china.

check out the portfolio of photographer peter funch. not sure what i think about his “crash” series but it definitely stood out. most of his other stuff is good and fun photography just with less stopping power. i didn’t expect this stuff after seeing his other images first. and as somewhat disturbing as these images are there is oddly enough a fashionable aspect to the aesthetics.
japanese topography

check out these amazing topography images of japanese landscapes done by hajime ishikawa. think they are beautiful and poetic in a very simple and graphical way. i am amazed, not that i’d be into topography that much but i’d definitely hang these up on my walls.

pin-up horses
Posted on | April 13, 2009 | 1 Comment
quite interesting and fun idea the photographer julian wolkenstein executed. he took horses, gave them hair extensions and shot them like pin-up girls. doing one image a day this was a pretty intense shoot he says and it almost took 3/4 of a day to get the horses hair done – poor stylist.
think he has some other interesting shots in his portfolio but this feels unique, it’s something new i haven’t seen before. and, the horses look pretty hot i think.
