Mini fantasy world

05/31/2012 by chicquero

Growing up between Detroit, Los Angeles, and New York, Laura Plansker got her start in photography as a child, taking pictures of dolls having tea parties and stuffed animals hanging from trees in her backyard. In conjunction with photography she has spent many years set decorating and constructing miniatures for both film and commercials. It is through this combination of fields that her work has developed into the detailed world of photo-dioramas. Her overwhelming desire to jump the boats at Disney Land […]

Merging, camouflaging

05/30/2012 by chicquero

Ukranian fashion designer Masha Reva, graduated from Central Saint Martins is a true artist, using fashion as her present medium. Her most recent collection called Merging, is an homage to overkill, pattern on pattern, nature vs nurture. The images resonate a modern Renaissance, as we are constantly bombarded with images, stuff, ideas, we try to compartmentalize and organize. Here, Reva’s very successful attempt at materializing, through imagery, her thoughts and emotions. It is a testament that with our creativity we can […]

Old Car portraits

05/29/2012 by chicquero

Ryan Schude is a Los Angeles based photographer that focus his artwork around a conceptual and narrative framework.  This is a cool series of  ”vintage cars portraits”, shot mostly with his Lomo Lubitel 166+. I love the effect of Lomo photographs, perfect faded colors and beautiful lighting, creating this cool vintage vibe. “I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I’m gone.” Stephen Wright >>>YOU MAY ALSO LIKE<<< Vans […]

Josh Sommers - Stereographic Projections photography chicquero

Little Planets

05/27/2012 by chicquero

The works of american artist Josh Sommers carve out their context, somewhere along the boundaries of landscape photography, art, mathematics, and technology.  There’s a crispness to these photos, in that they appear to have been planned from the beginning instead of having an effect slapped on afterward. The stereographic projection, in geometry, is a particular mapping (function) that projects a sphere onto a plane. The projection is defined on the entire sphere, except at one point — the projection point. It is conformal, meaning that it preserves angles. It is neither isometric nor […]

mANIMAL portraits

05/26/2012 by chicquero

These awesome painted animal masks on photographic portraits are the work of French artist Charlotte Caron, who graduated recently from Fine Arts with honors. This is a beautifully imaginative hybrid of humans and animals that particularly stood out from the other series she had created. “This series of paintings, photographs, trying to respond to a form of duality—that assumes an animal part—by the medium of painting in addition, runs, mask, portraits. Ultimately creates an osmosis between the two mediums, so […]

High Plains Drifter

05/24/2012 by chicquero

Some people usually say that “less is more”, but we don´t think so (as we said before “minimalism is for quitters”) … There is something about this wildly creative and wonderful editorial by photographer Mario Testino for British Vogue. It´s extremely eye-catching and made me break out in a smile. The mix of earth tones, nature and tradition with the neon colors and modern tech is to die for. It´s for sure a great blend of past and present and possible […]

In a series he calls “Face Artists”, he has repainted famous paintings on his own face in a fantastic display. “This series of images was created to show art at face value,  It was also a way to put a face to the artists of many of the famous works of art […]

The Beatles Mania

05/22/2012 by chicquero

Since The Beatles don’t need introduction, I’m done with this paragraph (just joking!). Well, this is a very cool collection that I found in Abduzeedo and I couldn´t handle it. As a huge fan of the forever trendy genius Liverpool guys I had to post it. This collection is a mixed bag consisting of pictures, pop art, toys, album covers, pictures, concert tickets, etc… Even for the “non-fanatic” ones should be interesting. Hope you enjoy it! Life is what happens […]

Light painted dresses

05/21/2012 by chicquero

Creative photography by Atton Conrad, a London-based advertising and art photographer. “It was the Futures Light’ story in 125 Magazine where he light painted dresses on to models that the development of his light painting techniques began. They were further honed on the international Hennessy print Campaign ‘Blended with Talent’ for Louis Vitton Moet Hennessy after his switch to art and advertising, a more fertile arena for the techniques. The process is an intensly visceral one, almost a dance with […]

A mastery of unconventional lighting techniques and a willingness to incorporate unpredictable elements into his photography further intensifies his emotionally raw, yet aesthetically glamorous style.

British fashion stamps

Wow… there’s something about the British that makes them sartorial sensations (think: prim hats, demure gloves, liberty pattern). So when something even as tiny as stamps come out, you can expect big names to jump on. The Great British Fashion Stamp Set, launched by The Royal Mail service, honors 10 top fashion houses from England, including amazing Alexander McQueen, Paul Smith, Vivienne Westwood, and the like.

Pin me with sunnies!

Philip Karlberg’s last editorial for Plaza Magazine plays a funny game with the characteristic accessory of sunglasses and introduces “pin art” at the same time. Karl Lagerfeld, John Belushi, Jack O, Johnny Depp, Karl Lagerfeld, Lady Gaga and Steve McQueen (in the following order)… all of them are more themselves with sunnies on! This is the way the photographer has transformed the still life into a little mystery. Eyewear is the main visual clue; painted pins conform the rest of […]

Eggs-ploding!

05/15/2012 by chicquero

Great pics by Brooklyn fashion photographer Henry Hargreaves. Hargreaves, who has snapped pictures for Ralph Lauren, Christie’s, GQ, Nylon, and others, shot the photos here as a side project with his friend, the prop stylist Caitlin Levine. Together,  they filled out a bunch of eggs with a psychedelic mix of glitter and neon-colored paint. Then they dropped the eggs on the ground, and Hargreaves tried to capture the cinematic moment when they exploded all over the place. Simple and quite magical, perfect pop […]

Michael Paulus is an artist,  filmmaker and sometimes music composer currently living in Portland, Oregon. This is a cool series entitled Skeletal Systems, he wanted to “take a select few of these popular characters and render their skeletal systems as [he] imagined they might look if one truly had eye sockets half the size of its head, or fingerless hands, or feet comprising 60% of it’s body mass.”  Michael has placed each character on a translucent, hinged panel. When the panel is lifted, […]

Echology rep

05/12/2012 by chicquero

Echology Mathilde Roussel is a French artist based in Paris. Her artwork explores the questions around human being in what it is the most imperceptible. It is linked to a search to reveal through metaphor, our inner image. She wants to find the shape, the color, the dimension of our mental landscape. Her autonomous preparatory drawings allow her to formally think her sculptures which become drawings in space. Through her explorations, she strives to question time considering both human and […]
