Photo Constructs

Landscape architect Scott Hazard uses carefully layered photographs to create delicately torn shapes symbolizing plumes of smoke, clouds, and mysterious portals in walls.

Inspiring Fall

I love the Fall (it's the getting up part that's hard). So here are some images to make it just a little easier.

Vinyl Record Exposures

Awesome long exposures of vinyl revolving turned to prints. Genius idea and love the gradients of colors.

TWIN SONS - DAN FOGELBERG

VI - THE BEATLES

LUNASEA - FIRE FALL

THE VERSITALE - BURL IVES

My Grandpa Jud used to play records for me all the time as a kid. I would sit on his floor while he propped his feet up, sat back in his worn leather chair, and smoked apple tobacco from his pipe. Whether it was rock or gospel, grandpas head would nod to the rhythm of the beat. I would always know what record was playing by the spinning colors and patterns in the center of the player. The rotating gradients would put you in a trance, only to be stopped by grandpa changing the record.

Tube Television

Photographs of tube televisions the moment they are switched off.

The Luminant Point Arrays show tube televisions in the moment they are swithed off. The television picture breaks down and creates a structure of light. The pictures refuse external reference and broach the issue of the difference between abstraction and concretion in photography. The breakdown of the television picture discribes the breakdown of the reference. The product is self-referential photography.

City Silhouettes

In this series, Jasper James imprints shadows of people that let us see through to the buildings behind. The result: City Silhouettes. Beautiful way to transpose urban skylines with portraits.

Capture the World in a Bubble

Seeing the world from a fresh perspective. That is what Tom Storm does with The World in a Bubble Project, a community-oriented photographic journey. Can you name the famous landmarks?

Playing with the Sky

When I drive home from the office in Yellow Springs, one of the greatest creative backdrops is the sun setting. The warm, vibrant colors are the perfect canvas, and when you add vintage elements, it makes for an interesting scenery. Valeria Prieto adds these elements including musical notes and birds on electric wires to create picturesque illustrations.

Seeing the World Differently

Similar to my post on illusions of daily objects.

Sandrine Estrade Boulet turns normal street scenes into amazing artwork. Some people see the world differently then others. She has a marvelous imagination. Some of her illustrations and creations are obvious once they are visualized, but I would not see it just walking down the road.



Check out more of her illustrations in her gallery.

Manipulating Your Environments

When the canvas of the photo becomes the art form that can feel like a dream world. Work by Jan Kriwol.

Via Illusion 360.

Here's a bonus photo I posted from an unknown artist, but could well be from this very artist. Photoshop is a great weapon in a graphic designers arsenal.
