Fotos movidas de desnudos « a desgana. Segunda vez que aparece por aquí Shinichi Maruyama.
Esta vez con fotos movidas de desnudos. Bueno, vale, dicho así no suena apasionante y nos es justo porque la verdad es que ha logrado unas imágenes increíbles. Tanto por composición como por originalidad. Pero el tema es… dice que son desnudos. ¿Habéis visto alguna teta? Visto en It´s Nice That donde se tiran mucho más el pisto y hablan de la fluidez de los cuerpos humanos, del efecto escultural que crean sin perder el movimiento y bla, bla, bla… Pero tampoco han encontrado una teta. Neon Text Installations by Lee Jung. Photographer Lee Jung lives and works in Seoul, South Korea where she created and photographed this gorgeous series of text-based light installations.
Jung had work on display at the Hong Kong International Art Fair with One and J. Gallery which closed yesterday. The Land Art of Sylvain Meyer. New to me, these wonderful land art installations by Swiss artist Sylvain Meyer who modifies wooded areas and landscapes to create various impermanent patterns, sculptures, and textures.
Everything seen here was constructed without the use of Photoshop, even the mossy spider. Whoa! See much more over on Flickr. I’ve also finally crated a land art tag for Colossal. (via ruines humaines) The Holi Festival of Colors. Another year, another collection of glorious videos featuring the Hindu Holi Festival of Colors at locations around the world, and as the quality of equipment improves it just gets better and better.
This latest addition was shot and directed by Jonathan Bregel and Khalid Mohtaseb from New York-based Variable in India this last March. I highly recommend watching it in HD, as their beautiful camera work seems to capture every single particle of color as its hurled through the air. Another widely-shared video was this clip from filmmaker Devin Graham that captures the Holi Festival in front of the Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork, Utah.
You can read more about it over on the Huffington Post. The Mysterious Polaroids of Bastian Kalous. Generally when I think of Polaroid photographs I’m reminded of old family snapshots, perhaps a camera passed around close-quarters at a party, or a few artistic captures of flowers, textures or an old beat-up vehicle.
Photographer Bastian Kalous has a very different approach, carrying his Polaroid camera around the world into the sweeping vistas of the Grand Canyon, the valleys surrounding the Grand Tetons, and other expanses of forests and mountains near his home in Freyung, a town in Bavaria, Germany. These are locations rarely explored with instant film these days, and I find his work both refreshing and mysterious.
100,000 Stars: An Interactive Exploration of the Milky Way Galaxy. 100,000 Stars is a new experiment for Chrome web browsers (or any other WebGL browser like Firefox or Safari) that lets you interactively explore the Milky Way galaxy with your mouse and scroll wheel.
I found it to be a bit more cumbersome on my laptop trackpad so if you’re in the same position click the ‘Take a Tour’ button for a pretty lovely demo. (via the awesomer) We Are Nature – Multiple Exposure Portraits Vol. II on the Behance Network. Light Trail Photographs by Joel James Devlin. By his own account London-based photographer Joel James Devlin has spent enormous amounts of time over the past few years examining and perfecting the effects of moving light through long exposure photographs.
In the amazing photos above Devlin has experimented with lights on various bodies of water in a series called Light Waves and Dark Currents and the others are the result of 50-minute exposures of airplane trails over the skies of London. See much more on his website, and if you liked this also check out the work of Lee Eunyeol, and Barry Underwood.
The Surreal Forests of Romania. These lovely, ethereal photos of mist-filled forests were captured by brothers Andrei and Sergiu Cosma of PhotoCosma who live and work in Romania.
They plan trips together, light, shoot and process each image as a team, resulting in some truly remarkable perspectives. You can see much more of their work on 1x.com and in their very extensive gallery featuring a wide range of natural wonders. (via reddit) Stefano Bonazzi: Smoke. Winners of the National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest 2012 Announced. Fred An Camila Massu Vo Anh Kiet Winners of the 24th annual National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest have been announced and The Atlantic’s In Focus has the winning selection of 11 photos picked from over 12,000 entries submitted by 6,615 photographers in 152 countries.
Anamorphic Tape Projection by Doyle Partners. Artist Stephen Doyle of Doyle Partners (of paper sculpture fame) just completed this excellent anamorphic projection for the New York Times magazine using blue tape.
The project involved taping the various words of traits being taught at KIPP Infinity middle school in Manhattan, of which “grit” is one. The photo is great and I also enjoyed the making-of video showing just how it’s done. Light Painting by Simon Berger. Light Studies: Experimental Light Photos by Kim Pimmel. San Francisco-based UI designer and photographer Kim Pimmel creates extraordinary long exposure light photographs using a huge variety of common objects and technologies. Although the photos appear digitally rendered they actually merge simple things like ping pong balls, old turntables, and simple pendulums with LEDs, Arduino microcomputers, servos and other lighting mechanisms such as iPhone screens to make the photos you see here.
His light studies set on Flickr is well worth your time and he also made a wild video using some of the same techniques. Aerial Photographs of Volcanic Iceland by Andre Ermolaev. At first glance these photos by Andre Ermolaev look like twisting abstract paintings, but in reality are aerial photos of rivers flowing through Iceland’s endless beds of volcanic ash. Given its name and stereotypical depiction it’s somewhat surprising to learn that the small country named after ice is home to no less than 30 active volcanic systems. You’ll remember the eruption of the massive Grímsvötn volcano just last year that spewed some 120 million tons of ash in the first 48 hours and snarled air traffic for days. Of his photographs Ermolaev says: Iceland is a wonderful country; I would even say that it is a true paradise for all the photo shooting-lovers. But what has become a real discovery for me is the bird’s eye view of the rivers flowing along the black volcanic sand.
From the Edge of Finland: New Photos by Mikko Lagerstedt. Photographer Mikko Lagerstedt first taught himself to use a camera in 2008 and has since fallen in love with the medium, having captured hundreds of dreamlike images of the Finnish landscape he calls home. This latest body of work called Edge was taken exclusively in Finland over the last few weeks and captures perfectly his somewhat unsettling approach to landscape photography that can be equal parts beautiful and just plain eerie, with strange figures lurking just on the horizon. You can follow Mikko’s photography on his blog, via Facebook and on Behance and prints are available on RedBubble. The Flawed Symmetry of Prediction: A Time-Lapse of Optical Illusions in the American West. Flawed Symmetry of Prediction is an outstanding short film by filmmaker Jeff Frost that defies categorization as it ventures into time lapse, street art, and even optical illusion.
Via email Jeff tells me: I roam the deserts of California and Utah looking for abandoned structures. When I find a room that I like, I paint large scale optical illusions on the inside of it. I record this process with time lapse photography. It took me over half a year and more than 40,000 high resolution still images to produce this film on my Canon 60D.
The visuals are absolutely brilliant and the sound design is top notch as well. A New Stop Motion Short Made Completely with Moleskine Notebooks by Rogier Wieland. Flickr Finds No. 24. Marie Granelli Kenneth Verburg. Light Topography: un álbum de Flickr. Topographical Light Paintings. Photographer Janne Parviainen (previously) has been experimenting with a fun form of photographic light painting that resembles 3D topographical maps. Exposure times can take over 30 minutes as he carefully moves through the room with a light “tracing” every surface and object. See more in his light topography gallery. Spectacular Entries to the 2012 National Geographic Photography Contest. Photo and caption by Chang ming chih/National Geographic Photo Contest. The fishers catched fish in the night. They use the fire that made fish close the boat and got them.

One would assume at first glance that there is no other place Hengki Koentjoro could be taking photographs than a fantastical, alternate dimension, perhaps retrieving the photos nightly from his dreams. As it turns out these recent photos were taken in various places around Indonesia, and you can follow Koentjoro’s journies on Flickr. Yang Yongliang. A Stop-Motion Crochet ‘Quadropus’ Turns the City Blue.
This latest music video for Wax Tailor featuring Aloe Blacc was shot by the crew over at Australian firm Oh Yeah Wow (previously) who spent over three months carefully moving a crocheted, four-legged octopus (a quadropus!) Rot: A Terrifying Facepaint Stop Motion by Erica Luke. Flickr Finds No. 25. Barbican Centre / Still from Wayne McGregor’s choreography at the Rain Room. Underwater Experiments Continued: Wonderful New Photos of Jellyfish by Alexander Semenov.
Since first covering the photography of Russian biologist Alexander Semenov (previously) back in January his self-directed “Underwater Experiments” series has continued unabated as he releases other-worldy shots of the Earth’s most elusive creatures almost daily. Again and again Semenov captures some of the most jaw-dropping photographs of underwater life I’ve ever seen, most frequently an animal called lion’s mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) which is the largest known species of jellyfish in the world.
