Photography: The Influence of Today's World

a Introduction in contemporary art

There are lots of excellent photographers, As D'SIGN magazine have posts several times like the traditional black and white photographer by Brain Parillo of landscapes and buildings. Different is the work by London photographer John Rankin with is new look at portraits "Ranking the eyes" And the fun collection called The Minuscule photo collection by Maite Guerrero. He manipulations of photos is truly magnificent and seen followed in a way also by "Little Dudes" by JD Hancock. I love the work of Ryan Yoon that we have shown, a comment on Fashion to Virgine Magazine. By using the most unusual, everyday objects to create high-fashion. In the same category for me is Thomaas from New York with his work "Plastic Fantastic" This series revolves around turning disposable plastic items into clothing and accessories, taking photography to haute couture. Here are a view photographers that I like for there new and contemporary way of making photographs, some of which certainly use the technology that is available these day's. There all found on the Internet. For more info see the original posts. Starting with photographer from China.

High-Fashion work by Chinese photographer Chenman, the artist was already know for a work as a student. Chenman work is a mixing of 3D renderings, photoshop work, and photography into arresting fashion images. Making it to a sophisticated polished style photography.

Work by American photographer David Lachapelle with is series "Earth laughs in flowers", 10 large-scale photographs in a Baroc, investigate the fragility and failings of society in the world we life in today. Still lifes in baroque-like style, products are positioned between flowers give the exuberance of this time. Beautiful how everything is placed and give it a richness that make you keep watching.

"Springtime", 2011

"Concerning the soul"

Working from his garage American artist and photographer Alan Sailer. Alan works with the posibilities that are avalable these days. Armed with his homebuilt air-gap flash camera, he uses a micro-second guided spark flash camera which he built himself to capture the explosion of food and other objects when impacted at high speeds. That one moment in time trapped in and in bright colours has both silence as well as a a strong image of force and motion.

"Squirt ball"

"Tres paletas"

Hal a Tokyo-based artist and photographer has created the "Flesh love" series. Hal's work explores the concept of worldly love through couples. In his serie "flesh love'" hal pulls the lovers so near to one another that they transform into a single being. Like a vacuum-sealed pack of love. The indiviality of the couple are still showing. Great work.
