“Vessels and Blooms” is a photo series of splashing liquids that resemble flowers in vases. Photographer Jack Long captured each image in one high speed exposure, without any Photoshop trickery. They are created by photographing fast-moving droplets of paint as they fall through the air. Artist Jack Long, 53, spends months painstakingly planning and testing each work before capturing them with a high-speed camera. He uses water mixed with thickeners, pigments and dyes. The paint is suspended in air for a split second and he […]

Photographer Ryan Schude in a Series of portraits taken with the Lomo Lubitel 166+ medium format camera. Lubitel refers to any of the several medium format twin-lens reflex cameras manufactured in Russia by LOMO. The design is based on the early 1930′s Voigtländer Brillant camera with various improvements. They are often considered toy cameras due to cheap price, bakelite and later plastic construction and low build quality. However the Lubitels use 120 film, feature Cooke triplet, all-glass lenses and shutter speeds can […]

“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 […]

The Dutch couple based in Rotterdan Schilte & Portielje works beautifully together. Jacqueline Portielje, who studied painting and Huub Schilte, an architect by training, met in 1975 and have inspired each other ever since. They create a particular world of black and white pictures with solitary and sometimes distant looking figures in the center. Their likenesses could easily be interpreted as the result of a process used in the days of analogic photography but they explore computers as a resource for artistic expression. They discovered more than […]

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 […]
