Stunning Self-Portraits by a 17-Year-Old (18 photos) Like Valerie Chiang or Kalie Garrett, Alex Stoddard is one of those talented teenage photographers who knows how to express themselves.

Stunning Self-Portraits by a 17-Year-Old (18 photos)

His self-portraits are all incredibly unique and after viewing them you're left wondering where he's going to take you next. What I enjoy most is that you can almost feel his passion come through. His commitment to not only executing on an idea but doing it well, is apparent to anyone who sees his photos.

I got in touch with Alex to ask him a few questions, including how his style evolved while taking on the 365 project. (That is, to shoot and share one picture each day.) What have you learned from your 365 project? Your photos are all beautifully artistic. Human Metamorphosis (15 pics) Creative studio Taylor James made these unbelievably realistic images that look like they're straight out of a science fiction movie!

Human Metamorphosis (15 pics)

In the first set, a beautiful brunette sheds her old body similar to that of a snake. A dramatic, internal struggle takes place in the second series, while the third features beautiful women hatching from their shells. Taylor James really pushes the technical limits of photo manipulation, turning amazingly creative ideas into a reality. Not only do these sets tell incredible stories, they're executing in a way that's nothing short of phenomenal. Taylor James' website.

Rocksteady by DaveRapoza - David Rapoza. Tape, Pencil and Resin: The Art of Brooks Salzwedel. I’m very intrigued by Californian artist Brooks Salzwedel’s unique style and approach to these delicate works, that combine nature and rigid human-made structures.

Tape, Pencil and Resin: The Art of Brooks Salzwedel

It’s nice to see work that brings in different non-digital materials to what we’re used to. Using a combination of Staedler Graphite pencils ranging from 6H to 9B, tape and ‘Awful toxic resin‘, Brooks creates images that look like relics of nature and other objects frozen in time. I also love the gloomy and almost real effect that’s created by having elements between semi-transparent layers. They are also reminiscent of some of the pictures of flattened leaves you’d get in school science books. ‘When working on a piece I ask myself what images I want as the focus or in the foreground then literally draw the images on the layer that coincides with the layer in depth. Awesome stuff by Diego Fernandez.
