Bobby Neel Adams is a photographic artist who resides in New York. He has been at work for many years and has spent much time examining the process of aging on the body and soul. His series entitled ‘Family Tree’ was created by splitting images of mothers and daughters, fathers and sons even fathers and daughters then resizing them to match in order to examine the changes brought on by aging yet still strange similarities between the two.

Photographer Olivier Valsecchi’s latest series is called ‘Dust’. It’s a simple concept which through the use of expressive models and dramatic lighting yielded beautifully artistic results.

It’s been over a year since we said anything about photographer Ryan McGinley and in that time he has filled his cup with beautiful, whimsical images that make you want to strip down with a sparkler in hand and run off into the woods.

Photographer Hannes Caspar captures beautifully simple images that preserve the integrity of the sitter while offering a window into the mystery of the individual. He is primarily driven by the human form and the effect of humankind on the world. Truly gorgeous work.

Photographer Steven Brahms ironic images belie a cynicism about modern life. He embraces the ridiculous but finds a unique humor in the seriousness through which people approach life in the modern world. If you are curious about his process there are some wonderful answers available in an interview he did with Future Shipwreck.

Oil painter Alex Gross mish-mashes references to pop consumerism in surrealistic and sometimes apocalyptic portraits that could double as cynical ads. It’s imagery that is tailer made for Adbusters. Some of the most interesting paintings mix in current references to popular fashion and the constant distraction of cellular culture. He’s an artist with a point of view and the best guess is that when he looks around at where society currently stands, he probably isn’t particularly fond of what he’s seeing.

Photographer Nikki Toole is originally Scottish but now based in Australia. Toole’s latest project is called Skater and captures skaters right off the street presenting them in an objective and stark light. It’s portraits of skaters just simply being who they are and what makes them so unique. One of the images is currently hanging in the National Portrait Gallery of Australia.

Dutch portrait painter Katinka Lampe uses strong blocks of bold color to create a harmony between subject and composition. Her technique is subtle but offset by the sometimes aggressive stare of her sitters.

Australian photographer Caitlin Worthington is only 20 years old but has the eye of someone much much older. She has some exceptional portrait work in her portfolio and looks as though she is ready to make a break in the fashion world as well.

Art Director and Photographer Martin Donnelly has updated his experimental playground Mezzetty once again with some new and beautiful work. He has kept with his signature style so far but his portrait work has become more personal, raw and engaging.

Painter Kwon Kyung Yup first starts with a photograph and then works from a draft before finally finishing her oil paintings. The strength of her realistic portraits comes from the addition of symbolic elements communicating an experienced trauma and vulnerability in her subjects.
