Jan Fassbender

This is an image from Jan Fassbender and it is both beautiful and sad. Jan's landscape photography is amazing but at the same time I get a foreboding feeling. I am not sure if it's the color or the scale or emptiness, whatever it is these images grab me.

Clayton Cubitt x Tom Carden

Clayton Cubitt x Tom Carden, originally uploaded by twenty2woblog.

This collaboration project resulted from a nice use of Processing and photography. Tom Carden's work has been generated with Processing based on attractors and particles creating the smoke-like patterns. Clayton Cubitt then took those images and directed his models to compose his images to flow with Carden's work. The results are spectacular. Here is a better explanation of this process.

Kim Holtermand

If you wanted to take aerial photos then being a pilot would make for a great advantage. Alex MacLean has used this combination to beautiful results. Documenting the world from the air has been a valuable tool in studying our relationship with the land. MacLean has published seven books on the topic. If you can't be a pilot you can always get a kite.

Edwin Tse is a photographer working in New York City. His landscape work is stark and minimal while his portrait work has a subtle beauty in simplicity. His mantra is "Guaranteed Fresh" and I would have to agree with him.

I am always attracted to architectural photography and photographer Scott Peterman has a wonderful portfolio. Represented by Higher Pictures in New York, I am especially drawn to Peterman's series of ice fishing shacks. There is a beautiful minimalist quality to them that makes them almost other worldly. via Beautiful Decay

Anthony Newman

Sqweegie is the work of Anthony Newman coming to us from Australia. What caught me first was his Dangerous Diary full of random collages but his photography work is brilliant as well. Be sure to take a look as his portfolio site. via cool hunting

Core Memory

Mark Richards, originally uploaded by twenty2woblog.

Photographer Mark Richards has released a photography book documenting vintage computer equipment, called the Core Memory. The images remind us that all computers were not dull gray boxes in their early life. I find the complexity of the computer guts intriguing and the colors on some of the retro machine consoles down right brilliant. The book is available at Amazon.

Holger Pooten Photography

Holger Pooten Photography, originally uploaded by twenty2woblog.

A wonderful collection here in the portfolio of Holger Pooten. The German born photographer now works out of London and has been building up quite the list of clients including Adidas and Nike. There is a series of exploding objects that reminds me of some of the drawings we had to do back in Architecture school. Brilliant execution and a much deserved New Photographer of 2007 by Getty Images.

A few months back a friend of mine launched her portfolio site and after a brief chat yesterday I was reminded to show her a little love. Stephanie Halmos is a talented young fine arts photographer based out of New York. She has a great passion for the art and creates brilliant images, but I will let her work speak for itself.

Seen over at Cool Hunting's top five photographers list is the work of Lori Nix. Lori builds elaborate models to photograph which results in mysterious little worlds. Her work bends the line between truth and illusion and is playful yet at times tragic.

I have really been into collages lately and came across the work of Brandi Strickland. Her collage work is beautiful and full of whimsy. She also has some photography and painting up on her site as well. She has a good collection of work for sale on Etsy all under $100.

Patrick Winfield

Patrick Winfield, originally uploaded by twenty2woblog.

Came across these great composite works from Patrick Winfield. Using multiple Polaroids to create a larger composition results in a fragmented and engaging view. The images beg to be looked individually but also work together as the whole. The site design is also very nice and clean.

Daniel Everett Photography

Daniel Everett Photography, originally uploaded by twenty2woblog.

Wonderful abandoned landscapes and industrial emptiness by Daniel Everett. These images reminded me of Ed Burtynsky and then I noticed that Everett did indeed work for Burtynsky. The lighting and mood in Everett's work is exceptional and has an eerie sense of beauty.

I came across File Magazine today and it has been great eye candy. Calling the style unexpected photography is one way to describe the images but as the magazine says "The pictures say this better than we can".

Lincoln Corridor Series

I just uploaded the beginnings of a series of images. Lincoln Boulevard in Los Angeles is a highly trafficked thoroughfare running north south on the west side of the city. Getting out of the car lets you slow down enough to see some inspiring things.
