The email I received by Mario Pena, a self taught photographer whose images flirt with the essence of dreams, proved to be a quite refreshing and rewarding surprise. As Mario notes in his email: “My photography is about beauty, dreams, moments and love, and my vision is “Photograph for romantic people”.
“Mouches a la Mode” is a project by Pelle Bergström, one of the masters of still photography who has gained wide recognition with his sophisticated and visually powerful work. His clientele includes international luxury fashion brands such as Hérmès, Luis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs and large corporations (Nokia, Philips, IKEA etc). Just look at these images! The black background really makes the feathers colors and soft textures stand out. Such a feast for the eyes! “Mouches a la Mode” has been exhibited in Paris and Stockholm.
I discovered Black X List Photography just today and I was fascinated with the High Peak College urban exploration! A very large abandoned site where the current dark and trashed spaces used to be livable and full with young people. The controversy between the past and present makes this project even more interesting and conceptual, along with the sharp eye of the photographer who captures these images, giving them a dreamy, nostalgic essence. Furthermore, the crisp depiction of textures and playful light effects are a pure visual pleasure! Kristamas Klousch doesn't like to be referred to as a photographer. She prefers the term “Caricature Artist”. Her self portraits are like moments frozen in a dream, sometimes even a nightmare. Emotive, provoking, dark, surreal and sensual, Kristamas has a wonderful talent in transforming and captivating the viewers. The artist currently resides and creates in Canada. |
