Photography
David Sykes
“Light Breakfast” by David Sykes is awesome is so many ways, and I especially love the color palette. Click through to his site to view the high-resolution version.
Melissa McClain
Melissa McClain “paints” fine art with her camera. A self-taught photographer from Dallas, she now lives in New York and captures abstract art in everything she sees.
Beautiful portfolio.

Rachel de Joode
Rachel de Joode sent us a sweet email with some even sweeter work. Whoa. I’m loving her “Make it All Disappear” still life series from 2008, the yellow composition is pictured above.
More, Rachel, more!
Ty Cole
Ty Cole’s hair project was inspired by Mainbocher Corset by Horst P. Horst. “The styles of these images differ greatly, but it is in this departure that the Hair project stands alone in its uniqueness.” Featured at L Bascom Gallery.
Sally Dennison
Sally Dennison has created a self-portrait series in which she digitally manipulates herself that she is practically unrecognizable. The series is on display at the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art through March 6, 2010.
She says of this series:
This series is a rejection of cultural ideals that surround me on a daily basis. As much as it is concerned with aesthetic values this series deals heavily with digital manipulation. It has come to be that we have no idea when an image has been “photoshopped” and so we assume humans have the capability to be flawless. Each of the images is worked with through Photoshop so that every detail of my face and body has been restructured. Each of my “characters” or “identities” have lingering features in common, but it is only noticeable when viewed as a group.”
Lajos Major
Hungarian artist Lajos Major plays with the alphabet. Awesome!
Szymon Roginski
Polish photographer Szymon Roginski and photographer Kasia Korzeniecka collaborated on this collection of photo sculptures used for the launch of fashion designer Ania Kuczynska’s 2009 spring/summer line. The photographs were constructed into three-dimensional shapes and rearranged to create a photograph out of those shapes.
