Fascinating photography from Romain Laurent chocked-full of symbolism.
As I was browsing through Flickr last night, I came across this little gem. A Portfolio of artist Unreflected Fortunate. She has some great Illustration, Collage and Photography. Well worth bookmarking.

Stunning. Absolutely stunning photography from the enormously talented Peter Farago. His work is a study in absolute aesthetic.

Photographer Carl Warner has created visceral and beautiful landscapes by photographing food. It’s fascinating stuff and a bizarre but interesting idea. You can read more about the process behind the imagery here and see more of Warner’s work at his personal website.

I thought for sure I had written about photographer Phillip Toledano before. He is one of the best. One of the very best in my opinion. I just love his work. Every picture tells a story even individually regardless if they were shot in a series. He is a storyteller who uses still images and I love that about him. Spend some time looking through all of his work. You will be rewarded by the experience. I promise you.

I’ve been a huge fan of Erwin Olaf for quite some time. I recently picked up Black Magic, White Noise from my bookshelf and it reminded me how much of a positive influence his work was to my development. If you haven’t seen his photography, here’s your chance.

Dan Tobin Smith is another highly talented individual that I was certain I had written about but hadn’t. His work is almost hard to describe because he is so talented at so many different things. His primary emphasis is photography but he has some exceptional art on his website as well. It’s all good though and it’s all inspiring.

I thought I had written about Gaap Studio before but I guess not. There are some really stunning fashion-based images in the portfolio of this Polish photographer. Good stuff.
Thank you for the link Kim. I appreciate it.

I just want to be hanging out in some of the sets that Andy Barter photographs. One of his photos features a tipped over modern chair with a pair of black lace panties thrown over the leg. It’s brilliance incarnate.

Jiggery Pokery are UK based artist’s Anna Lomax and Lauren Davies. Jiggery Pokery make, take, build and create from surreal sets with a dream like experience to outside installations with life size reality. Its a magical wonderland and a magical portfolio.

There are stunningly gorgeous images of stunningly gorgeous people in the photography portfolio of Loic Peoc’h. Beautiful images.

Alexey Titarenko has been around a while and his experience comes through in the stunning and haunting imagery he captures of his Russian homeland. There are some absolutely gorgeous images in his portfolio some of which harken back to the photographic period of Russian Constructivism. Beautiful work.

There is always lots of good stuff as far as photography and design go in the online magazine Newwork. I have known about it for quite a while and am a little surprised I haven’t written about it yet. Ah well, I can’t possibly cover everything now can I? I try though.

Jacob Langvad sent me a note regarding his Photography this morning. He has some really exceptional work in his portfolio. Beautiful images.

Jacob Langvad’s work can be described as having an unembellished, yet informed documentary style. His portrait and commercial work reflect an intense labor of subtlety and precision, where any evidence of manipulation comes across as completely natural or non-existent.

There are some beautiful images in the book of the Dutch House of Photography. There are also some great videos on the site detailing how they set up their photo shoots.
