Intact flowers are so passé; for a real Mother’s Day floral arrangement, try Exploded Flowers by Singapore artist Fong Qi Wei. Wei, a conceptual photographer, deconstructs flowers—leaves, stamen and all—reconstructs them into something approximating their original form, and then photographs them for wholly original fresh flower arrangements. The photos are — Continue reading
Maybe it’s that we’re particularly attuned to the visual cues of Easter, with its accompanying subtle hues and promise of spring, but we’ve found ourselves beguiled by the still life photography of Kate Mathis. A New York-based photo stylist with a host of shelter magazine clients, Mathis specializes in creating blissfully — Continue reading
We’re very much in love with the combination of art and architecture in Anna di Prospero’s photography series “Urban Self-Portraits.” Born in Rome in 1987, she studied photography at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Rome and at the School of Visual Arts in New York. With her photos it’s — Continue reading
We’ve long had an obsession with abandoned buildings. Perhaps it’s that eerie, almost soul-like feeling the memories of a public place or home leave on a structure. Perhaps it’s how you can almost hear a space crying out to do something with them — that to lie dormant goes against a — Continue reading
This is a bit of a different architecture post, because instead of focusing on just one project or one designer, we’re focusing on one stupendous architectural photographer who’s had the opportunity to shoot some beautiful homes set in unbelieveably gorgeous natural surroundings. The purpose of this post? Motivation? Sanity-restoring peace? — Continue reading
Paul Batt’s art appeals to us on a number of levels. Some people who are collectors can’t pass by an item of the kind they collect. We feel the same way about furniture. Everything — even the most far gone things — seem to have potential. It’s a painful experience — Continue reading
There’s a very fine line between photography done for commercial and editorial purposes and that done for the purpose of art, but with Texas-based photographer Brent Humphreys, you see that line dissolve away and are left with a portfolio of work that both inspires and informs. Motivates and persuades. Entertains — Continue reading
Last February the artist Miriam Sweeney entered a competition hosted by the famous Saatchi Gallery with the name Showdown. Sweeney competed with her work Subversion and she won! The two works are simple stunning, because they have this quiet strength. There is just something very poetic about the two pieces. — Continue reading
Never has someone’s art made us so creeped out yet captivated us so fully, as well. Polish artist Dorota Buczkowska’s work seems to play with a viewer’s expectations of weight and density; soft materials are shaped and photographed in ways that they look sturdier or heavier than they are, and — Continue reading
Things are feeling so dreamy this Friday! We guess we’re just gearing up for a nice spring weekend and are having trouble staying focused! In that vein, why not just join ‘em if you can’t fight ‘em? We’re really digging the dreamy photography work of Carla Andrade. Featuring a lot — Continue reading
We have a small obsession with paintings of America from way back when…before we started building, tearing down and changing. Don’t get us wrong; obviously we’re huge fans of architecture and appreciate a good built structure like no other. But there’s just something so fresh and new about America before it — Continue reading
Heinz Maier has only been photographing since 2010. His main interest is in macro photography, where close-up photography captures the subject in greater than life size. His main subject matter are water drops (featured here) and insects. Maier captures in beautiful teals, marigolds, vibrant pinks, shades of red in — Continue reading
No matter how old, overdone or even lame the world of tilt-shift photography becomes in the future, we will always love it. Always, you hear. It’s a kind of magic that though we technically understand how it works, still feel gooey inside when we look at it. Combine that with — Continue reading
Anyone who’s a fan of photography probably thinks any good camera is sexy in its own way, but when you combine famous, brilliant modern designer Marc Newson with a camera, do you know what you get? This one sexy-as-hell camera, the PENTAX K-01 (don’t embarrass yourself, it’s pronounced: “kay- zero-one”). — Continue reading
Whoo boy. Brendon Austin is quickly becoming one of our favorite artists and photographers. You know how much we love a good landscape, well Brendon’s got plenty of beautiful series to choose from. A particularly haunting one is his “Vacuum” series; the colors are beautiful but also sad. The landscape — Continue reading
You ever wonder if in the future we’ll cut out the middle man and just learn how to read 1′s and 0′s ourselves? Or if our eyesight will evolve so that it basically just sees everything in pixelated wonderment? Well get started on the road to the future early with — Continue reading
Those are dead birds. ”My Natural History series was inspired by memories of studying Environmental Science. My fellow students and I were led behind the scenes at Natural History museums to study the specimens. Each was a miniature work of art created by nature and the careful taxidermists of the era. — Continue reading
Trees show up pretty often when it comes to photography and art. It’s no surprise, really, considering what a huge effect they have on the human race and planet earth. But even when they are captured in photography, are we really seeing their soul? The things that make the tree — Continue reading
We haven’t had the pleasure of visiting Iceland yet (and we mean a big yet there; it’s definitely on the travel spot wish list), but when we do make it to that far-flung cold land, we sure hope we view it through the same magical, mystical, beautiful lens that photographer Jenny — Continue reading
Photographer Casey Dunn has started a new personal website called Alexander & Sons, and featured is his pretty awesome photo series “Hoop Dreams.” From his site: “When I was 8 years old my dad came home with a fiber glass basketball goal and put it up in our backyard. After — Continue reading
