LANDSCAPES Photo series are self-portraits
Netherlands, Arnhem-based artist Levi van Veluw (facebook)
Veluw´s photo series are self-portraits, drawn and photographed by himself: a one-man-process. His works constitute elemental transfers; modifying the face as object; combining it with other stylistic elements to create a third visual object of great visual impact. The work you see therefore is not a portrait, but an information-rich image of colour, form, texture, and content. The image contains the history of a short creative process, with the artist shifting between the entities of subject and object.
AMAZING PHOTOS OF NIGHT SIDELHORN
Switzerland, Zurich-based landscape photographer David Kaplan
(Photos shot in the Sidelhorn is a mountain of the Bernese Alps)
OMO VALLEY TRIBES IN SOUTH-WESTERN ETHIOPIA
Chile, San Pedro de Atacama-based freelance photographer Ralph Bennett Crignola - “The Lower Omo River in south west Ethiopia is home to eight different tribes whose population is about 200,000. They have lived there for centuries. However, the future of these tribes lies in the balance. A massive hydro-electric dam, Gibe III, is under construction on the Omo and when completed it will destroy a fragile environment and the livelihoods of the tribes, which are closely linked to the river and its annual flood.”
SNOWFLAKES BY MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY ANDREW OSOKIN
The Moscow-based photographer Andrew Osokin demonstrates incredible patience that has to be a prerequisite in order to capture such stunning shots of the objects, which might melt shortly after touching the ground. Osokin’s collections focus on the smaller things in life that are usually overlooked by busy passersby such as raindrops, insects and this time, snowflakes. [+]
CAMBODIAN TREES BY CLEMENT BRIEND
French photographer Clément Briend (Facebook) - “Cambodian culture is deeply rooted in a spirituality - marked by a belief in genii and fantasy creatures. In a dark cityscape, night reveals the presence of divine creatures on trees and subsequently makes them alive and real. Such nocturnal visions allow us to grasp the way magic profoundly influences how Cambodian people perceive the world.”
BEAUTIFUL POLAROID SHOTS BY MARITZA DE LA VEGA
Maritza de la Vega - “I was born in Cuba, raised on the mean streets of NYC and currently reside in a small hamlet in Rockland County, NY with my family. I have the good fortune of working at a small law firm just two miles from home. I use an SX-70 Alpha, and an SLR 680 SE for integral film and a 440 for pack film.
I like that it is instant, of course, but also that it’s tangible. It’s great to hold an image in my hand and admire it without the aid of a brightly lit screen!”
POP POP BANG
A collaboration between creative director Anna Burns and the photographer Thomas Brown (on tumblr). Through the use of various mediums the pair have curated an exhibition that explores the masculine world of B-Movies and juxtaposed it with the traditional British landscape. Using the themes of said movies – girls, guns and explosives – and twisting it against a very British backdrop these two challenge not only the premise of each subject but also the use of their chosen medias. The duo created a wall of umbrellas displaying elements of the classic B-Movie and located them within three landscapes.
FIREWATCH SERIES BY MATS PETERSSON
Photographer Mats Petersson - “Firewatch is my latest project. I’m not a nature photographer, per se, but an opportunity came one day for me to visit a controlled forest fire not far from my home. Fire, of course, is one of the ancient worlds’ “four elements.” No forest without fire: no life without fire: no world without fire. Once man learned to create and control fire, civilization developed. Man could cook and eat foods that were previously impossible. Fire was light, warmth and safety. Like many others, I have always been fascinated with fire.”

LOW LYING CLOUD FORMATIONS BY AXEL ANTAS
Axel Antas’s multi-disciplinary practice encompasses photography, drawing and video. He lives and works in London. - The ‘Intervention’ series feature photographs of low lying mist and clouds hovering in park landscapes. On first viewing the images appear absurd and make believe which, in many ways they are. Antas explains that the clouds were artificially created, mimicking nature and momentarily changing the landscape which he captures in a single frame.
