Sato Shintaro

Beautiful large-format (4 x 5) photography by Japanese photographer Sato Shintaro. The colours he captures are really incredible! I find there’s a kind of loneliness about his work.

Yoshinori Kon

Fabulous photography by Yoshinori Kon. I love the amount of detail packed into his compositions, very cinematic – like we’re seeing a single frame from a sequence building up to the climax of a film.

Shanghai like you’ve never seen!

Fantastic (in both senses of the word) work from Shanghai-based, Maleonn. Usually work this heavy on post-production isn’t my cup of (green) tea, but I’m a lookin’ and I’m a likin’.

Gorgeous Explosions!

This morning I came across the high-speed photography of Martin Klimas. His portfolio is superb – I was immediately grabbed by this series of shattering flowerpots.

Split Second!

The Morning News recently featured the excellent work of Barbara Probst. In her series “Split Second”, Probst utilizes multiple cameras to capture the same exact second from different viewpoints. She is interested in the authority given to a lone photograph versus the idea that there isn’t just one reliable representation of a particular moment. “What happened” is open for interpretation.

Exposure #39: NYC, 545 8th Avenue, 03.23.06, 1:17pm

I love the exact details each diptych or triptych is given.

Mike Hunter

Take one look at Mike Hunter’s photography and try to tell me his miniatures don’t look insanely real. Well, you’d be half right. Hunter hasn’t mastered the skill of creating life-like miniatures, he has mastered the skill of capturing a real-life place and creating the illusion that it is a miniature. I’ll let you take a minute to re-read that sentence. Was that the sound of your mind exploding?

What you are looking at is a real place. Those “figurines” are actually actors dressed as toy soldiers (complete with fake stands their feet). Hunter utilizes a miniaturizing technique called “tilt shift photography” and selects locations based on their “already artificial quality”.
