Massachusetts-based artist and photographer Arno Rafael Minkkinen, who was born in Helsinki, has a curious photography process. Wherever he roams, he emerges with photo perspectives that are really unique by merging his body with his surroundings. Among his works, the ones from his Hands and Feet series really stand out.

These mostly show the town’s inhabitants standing proudly in the dusty town or right in front of their establishments — like a butcher shop and an undertaker’s shop — and staring right into the lens. The pictures are beautifully lit, and they [...]

André Kertész’ is a master. Running a fever, it feels more legitimate than ever to spend an afternoon lingering over the emotion he depicted over the course of a long international career. The photographs of his New York or international periods are as humane as the early Hungarian photos.

At first glance, you’d assume that these are old black and white photographs. In fact, they are made up of thousands of black date stamps. Berlin-based artist Federico Pietrella created these beautiful acrylic-on-canvas paintings using only a date stamp and a lot of patience.

Josue Castro’s iconic black and white photos have no lack of color or substance as they violently strike you with the contrast of values.
