This is also the case of Detroit based photographer Kevin Bauman, author of the project 100 Abandoned Houses. Concerned about the decadent state…

Sculpture is undoubtedly, a great form of art. I’ve always been amazed in particular by miniature sculpture, always admiring the patience, the skills and the talent of carving something out of tiny things, like for example tips of pencils. The alphabet, a miniature of Elvis, a hand with a glass, a chainsaw, or a heart…

Today we’re taking a peak in the field of aerial photography, a type of photography that has its roots in France’s 1858 when balloonist Gaspard-Félix Tournachon practiced it over Paris.

Andrzej Dragan is a Polish physicist and a talented photographer. He creates a macabre atmosphere around his portraits, which I consider most representative of his work. His world is done in a sort of urban decade scenario, which gives the viewer a cold feeling while watching. All of his characters display an evil look, an…

Terry Border takes normal objects, provides them with wired hands and feet and turns them into characters of hilarious scenarios. The objects rang from usual things used in the kitchen or in the bathroom, to fruits and vegetables, but I think that his masterpieces are the ones with food coming alive. Irony, humor, sarcasm, and…
