Ian Lv

I found the work of UK-based, Chinese-born photographer, Ian Lv, through the doubleyouwhy! flickr group. Extracting simplicity and geometrics from the urbanized subjects he explores, Ian seems to emphasize the dominance of industrialization within his community, juxtaposing it with the polluted and almost non-existing presence of natural life. For more of Ian’s work, visit his [...]

Alessandro Calabrese

Italian photographer Alessandro Calabrese contacted me about his work, and within minutes, I fell in love. Centrally placing his subjects within the frame – something that tends to be frowned upon in all the photos classes I’ve taken – Alessandro submerges his elegant and graceful models within an eclectic and full-bodied environment, taken advantage of [...]

Flickr Pool – Angelica Ström of Sweden shoots woman in a naturally posed and poised manner, paying close attention to the composition and playing around with the light.

Srinath Iswaran

I found the work of young Indian photographer, Srinath Iswaran, through the doubleyouwhy Flickr pool. Using film as his weapon of choice, he elegantly documents and archives both the beautiful and more tragic sides of India – a country that’s definitely in my top five places to visit. Head over to Srinath’s Flickr page for [...]

Andre Vautour

Toronto-based photographer, Andre Vautour, has a lovely set of photographs that feature a combination of levitating patterned shirts and identity-hidden subjects, who together, are all placed and backed by a neutrally plain wall or backdrop. The over exposed aesthetic to his photos are achieved through what I believe is a direct fire of a flash [...]

His highly realistic and detailed pieces offer a look into a demented, yet highly representational version of the world we all share and live in.

Ibán Ramón

Spanish photographer Ibán Ramón has a tendency of framing his subjects smack-dab in the middle of the frame. Turning to industrial, man-made machinery for inspiration, Ibán manages to bring out an indescribable solitude within these massive, steel built noise polluting contraptions, giving each one their own sense of self and belonging. His use of tones [...]

Jordi Huisman

Making great use of white space, Dutch photographer Jordi Huisman captures a number of hauntingly silent and vacant spaces in a series entitled It’s Better to Stay Home. The images appear to have been taken in some sort of old-folks home or in a sterile medical holding center of some kind. Check out some of [...]

David Penela

It takes great patience and an extremely steady hand to produce work like that of Portuguese illustrator, David Penela. Formulating detailed sets of hair and bodily garments, David makes use of thinly-tipped pens, creating a jungle of erratic and out of control lines. Have a look at David’s other pieces, here.

Parkour Motion Reel

This stop-motion video is by a Singapore graphic design student who goes by the name of saggyarmpit on Vimeo.

Rumano Power

Rumano Power‘s deserted and broken subjects offer insight on the wasteful nature that modernized cultures have comfortably adopted to, exposing the lack of appreciation we communally display. Photographing waste and neglect, his approach is straight forward and to the absolute point. Mosey on down – yes, I did just said mosey on down – to [...]
