Superb photographs and image manipulations by self-taught photographer George Rustchev. Unfortunately George doesn’t have his own website or deviant art page or anything like that I could link to. However you can see more of is work here. George’s photography is imaginative, very well treated but what is the most exciting in his photographs is the way he uses contrasts (either in colours, shapes, objects/subjects, theme).
About a year ago I showcased the sublime work of UK based designer Sean Freeman. Randomly this week I found some of Sean’s recent designs and was amazed by his improvment! I didn’t think it would be possible to improve because he had such incredible skills already; but he managed it! The selection above is just a sample of his work showing how much details and efforts he can put in his creations. Sean Freeman really has an eye for typography, movement, and his constant search for perfection makes him a target of choice for big companies like Nike, The Guardian, The New York Times and many more to hire his services… For more examples of Sean’s work please visit his website thereis.co.uk.
You might have seen the photography work of Brian Walker already but I couldn’t miss it out really. Brian Walker is a very talented contemporary photographer from Sydney (Australia). Through image retouching and other digital interventions Brian mixes reality and fantasy, a bit along the lines of the regretted Bob Carlos Clarke but with a lot more colour and fun. I particularly like the finesse of the top picture and the use of what I can only describe as “hair lashes tears”…
Excellent photography work and image retouching by Ruud Baan from Amsterdam. His work is quite dark but the quality is 110% there… His “free work” section is really good and the “advertising” one is just amazing. His list of clients is impressive as well from Nike, Coca-Cola, Vodafone to Sony, O’Neill… Great work!
Really nice photographs by New York based photographer Satoshi Kobayshi. The portfolio section is quite impressive with some crystal clear photos. There is probably some decent amount of image retouching behind the scene as well.
Valerie Morignat specialises in underwater photography. She’s incredibly talented and her photographs are really surprising. It goes further than the classic underwater photography, she plays with wonder with space (water), textures, bubbles, colours and reflections. I always struggle in the first seconds to find out how the photo has been taken, which part of the body is inside the water, which bit is outside… A delight for your sight!
