Little People Project

11/03/2012 by chicquero

The scenes I set up, more evident through the photography and the titles I […]

American photographer Allan Teger has been creating this series (his first) since 1976, with new images being made until today. The trained psychologist and self-taught photographer actually started the series as part of his study of psychology. It soon evolved into a prolific series: “collectible, sensual, and erotic” in which “naked female and male forms become ski slopes, fishing holes, golf courses, and places where motorcycles, horses, rowboats, sailboats, biplanes, and mountain climbers play.” Can you imagine what I would […]

Skindeep

08/01/2012 by chicquero

Paris based photographer Julien Palast knows how to showcase the human body in a particular way. What’s interesting about this series is that despite basically shrink-wrapping and hiding the human forms, you actually become more aware of them. The contours and curves of the female and male figures are slickly highlighted by the well-selected material—a gradiented array of vibrantly tropical colors and just enough sheen in all the right places. You can chain me, you can torture me, you can […]
