Andrew Zuckerman is a documentarian, a photographer, who puts his subjects in front of a plain white background and allows you to focus on what makes them special.

The trailer below shows many of the artists involved with the film, and the roster is quite impressive.

Photographer Andrew Zuckerman‘s latest book, “Bird” is a volume of images that are unbelievably stunning. On the website for the book, you can see several large, striking images of Zuckerman’s subjects. Types of bird I have never seen are displayed with vivid detail isolated against a stark white background. Another fun part about the full screen flash website is that all of the images have different positions on the screen depending on what composition they call for. It keeps the presentation fresh and interesting. You can buy the book at amazon here. |

It is evident by listening to the album that each guest musician had a hand in helping craft their track, making for an eclectic mix of sounds and moods, while managing to remain mostly cohesive.

Sandy Skoglund has been working as an artist for decades, trying different techniques and styles. In my opinion, she really hit her stride in the 80s-90′s when she created fascinating images incorporating live models in sets filled with sculpture. Check out her iconic work here and witness her creative genus. You can see how some of her photographs are made through her movies section and try out her techniques for yourself. More of her breathtaking images after the break. (more…) |

Chris Jordan‘s photography captures color and images not seen by many. Much of his work revolves around numbers, statistics, patterns, and the impact of man on the environment. The image seen above is an untouched bird carcass in an area where many birds grow up eating a great deal of plastic junk they find in the wild. With the catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, it is an important reminder that we must re-evaluate our lifestyle, and Chris Jordan’s work brings this to our attention and feels more important than ever. More images after break. (more…) |
