Talk about abstract body parts!

Taking photographs of body parts is one thing, but using them to make abstract to almost impossible poses is talent! Arno Minkkinen has taken it past normal limits, showing body parts in ways that are beautiful yet almost makes you shy to look at them. The lighting and form of shapes in each photo is different and so unique. They are symmetrical completely but they're in a non perfect way! Check out more here!


Um...was all I could begin to say...

Stumbling upon this photographer just happened to be a lucky find for a taste of deferential subjects. The artist Bagrad Badalian captures people and humanity in the most extreme ways, topping to new levels. He pushes the normal and turn it into the extreme, or odd twisted reality! Check out his site here:)

Henrik Knudsen


At first I thought hmmm... just a unique name but then I saw his pictures. In each and every way they all have some weird chronological order that makes them attractive to look at. They're very pleasing and there is a lot of wonder and questioning in some pictures. I love the random people placed in some pictures in specific areas they give it that mysterious wonder. His blog: www.henrikknudsen.com

Riding the wave!



Okay, so as soon as I came across these pictures I was stunned by the creativity and powerful magnetism that stuck to my eyes! How could someone come up with such crazy photographs and where would you even think to start with some of these? I don't know but check out the work of Dustin Humphrey. Every picture makes you think outside of the realm of normal, and that never hurts!

Kurt Bowman


From his autobiography:
"I began photography as a way of expressing my passion for wildlife. From there my passion has grown into a love for photography and art in general. Recently, I have expanded my photography to include abstract art, portrait, fashion, cars, events and completely off-beat topics." his link http://www.kurtbowmanphoto.com/


Guy Rogers

The image is a little stretched, but it's still very openly as to drawing you in. The photo is called "Lonely Cottage" and it's just amazing how the light comes down in the photograph. Guy Rogers is the artist he is a Nature and Landscape photographers and has so many interesting photographs! His website is guyrogersphotography

Interesting!


When I was going through the gallery of Ralph Gibson this image immediately caught my attention. It struck me that every picture in this gallery had a hand or eye popping out. I had yet to read his autobiography and tried make my own assumptions of it. That every picture is literally eye moving or grabbing, too me that is what it had meant. They all speak for them selves though!
                                                                   Check him out too!

So simple yet, so complex




Jessica Hilltout, wow her biography is amazing, I would love to have her adventure! Read about her and why she chooses such "unimportant" objects or things to capture. It makes every photographer second guess what their really trying to capture!READ IT!
Their so simple but they tell so much when you really look at them.

Talk about abstract!

Denis Olivier's work captured my eye extremely quick, because I was so caught up in the dream like state in which this series of photo's were taken. He has a way with distorting your thoughts and making you wonder what is really happening in the photograph! Check out his website: Denis Olivier!

Zach Gold

My eyes were drawn to this photograph below in particular, because it's milk being splashed around. All of his other work is pretty unique and quite crazy too! Pretty appealing to the mind! http://www.zachgold.com/

Elizabeth Carmel

Ted VanCleave




My eyes were drawn to his photographs for their crazy abstract lines. He does a very well job at creating simple buildings into a master of design. He also photographs abstract behind the scene kind of photos! They are very interesting! His biography and gallery is here: http://tedvancleave.com/artist.htm


Love trees?

I was drawn to Gabriel Hemery as soon as I saw his pictures! I absolutely love trees and if you also do, you will love his images. He has a great way at capturing the his subjects to almost the point where they are alive. He is a scientist in forest science and studies the environment around the world. My eyes are attracted to all of his colors and how he seems to capture happiness and sadness almost at the same time. My eyes wander all over his photo's hope yours do too! He has a blog at http://www.gabrielhemery.com! If you would like to enjoy his images as much as I do his gallery website is http://thetreephotographer.com/type/gallery/

Nick Brandt born in 1966 in London, is famous for his amazing East African wildlife photographs. They are stunning in so many ways, and he really knows how to capture the characters of the animals and how they respond to their life in nature. Up above you can seek out the hunter is stalking its prey.

So young but well written!


When I looked at this photography I was amazed to know the photographer shot it at sixteen. I choose to write about her because she reminded me of myself. (only in the sense I'm not famous) Anyway, her name is Olivia Bee, and you can look at her photographs at her site: OliviaBee.com She is from Portland, Oregon and started shooting professionally at the age of 15 with companies such as Nike and Converse.

What I like about her pictures, and I think others would also, is the simplicity. Her pictures tell stories in each one, and  the different, they have meaning. Maybe their all just like the above picture of the angel, and their glorious and mysterious in their own way. Defiantly caught my attention!
