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 […]

Everyday people required

Spencer Tunick loves to put on a show, preferably one with tons of naked bodies. Location (public) is essential, although he can no longer shoot in the USA. Because of the nature of his work which explores and expands the social, political and legal issues surrounding art in the public sphere, Tunick has been arrested five times while attempting to work outdoors in New York City.

Drowning in watercolor?

05/20/2012 by chicquero

Digging deep into his subject to unearth their inherent strengths and vulnerabilities, Los Angeles based photographer Giuliano Bekor creates images that evoke drama and sensuality, always staying true to his unique vision. 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.

JUMP – Philippe Halsman 1959

Philippe Halsman (1906 – 1979) American portrait photographer. In 1952, while photographing the Ford family (the cars) for the 50th anniversary of the brand he had the idea to ask Ms. Ford to jump in front of the camera.

During the years that followed he finished all his photography sessions by […]

Enlightened Souls

03/01/2012 by chicquero

“Enlighted Souls is a light painting project I started in May 2011 in Christchurch, New Zealand. I first thought of it as an artistic and moral contribution to the 6.3 quake’s aftermath. I used stencils to paint enlightened characters to remember human losses and to show the spirit of a wounded city. It turned out to be an interesting way to share ideas and feelings about society and life. After all, this is what street art is made for. The […]

Please take me upstairs!

02/08/2012 by chicquero

Seriously… a photographer can actually get to take some very cool photos out from the most common things ever, like escalators for example. This is fresh and quite nice, considering the amount of beauty found in these photographs probably taken at airports, metro stations and other random places… this is not an existing series, it’s a selection by various great photographers capturing escalators! Super duper cool! “Maybe since I was 35 years old it was time to go upstairs.” Wellington […]

You are what you eat!

“After 30 years in Paris (France), I moved to New York where I love, live and work since 2006 My main interest in life is to observe humans in urban spaces. How they work, breathe, interact, How they walk, eat and mourn Where they find the soft, the poetic, the soothing Where they hide their secrets. My purpose is not to invade but to share.” – Stéphanie de Rougé “Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu […]

As minimal as it is

01/21/2012 by chicquero

Sky Series Eric Cahan is a NYC based photographer inspired by the sky’s color palette from sunrise to sunset! Speaking of color, I was truly amazed by the way he understands the different nuances of color, light and the way he photographs. As a devotee of contemporary art, Cahan’s influences include Mark Rothko, James Turrell, and the Light and SpaceMovement , a brand of minimalism that originated in Southern California in the 60s focused on perceptual phenomena such as light, […]

Fantasy way of life

12/27/2011 by chicquero

Parallel Universe Elena Zhukova is the photographer behind this creative series of conceptual photographs. The purpose of her photographs is to illustrate the magnitude and vast range of human character and individuality in fictitious ways. She draws parallels between individuals she meets, or see, in real life and cartoon-type characters and envision in her fantasies. Some ideas are inspired by paintings, some are based on movies and books and some find their roots in the depth of my imagination without […]

Another minimal shot of other random spots.

12/25/2011 by chicquero

I know almost everybody is still in the Christmas mode but when I saw Josef Schulz´s work I fell in love (deeply in love) that I had to show his simple, minimal and gorgeous imagery. It reminds me of German photographer Klaus Leontjew (we already posted his work) but very particular and unique. Here is a mixed selection of works from his “Sachliches” and “Formen” groups of work. In these works he photographs actual industrial architecture and edits in order to place these buildings in a […]

He’s so up to his old tricks! Super cool photographer Terry Richardson is totally messing up around stunning naked models. This is an editorial shot for Purple Fashion Magazine and styled by Christopher Niquet and it’s not recent (Fall/Winter 2009), but it caught so much my attention for it’s fun, even with the nudity… and it reminds me of Tom Ford’s campaigns (which I’m a huge fan). Anyways, Terry definetely doesn’t shy away from gorgeous models Eniko Mihalik, Freja Beha, […]

Mustache Monday

11/21/2011 by chicquero

Mustache Freaks Mustache is that facial hair grown on the outer surface of the upper lip. It may or may not be accompanied by a type of beard, a facial hair style grown and cropped to cover most of the lower half of the face. The word “moustache” derives from 16th century French moustache, which in turn is derived from the Italian mostaccio. Dave Mead is an Austin, Texas-based (why I’m not surprised?) photographer who shoots advertising and editorial with a primary focus on the […]
