Flares warming up night landscapes

Low Lai Chow Contributor

By Low Lai Chow in New Photography on Thursday 2 May 2013

What can you do with military-grade flares? In his Take Refuge series, LA-based photographer Kevin Cooley used these to illuminate the nighttime and often cold landscapes of wherever he travelled to for his other projects, and shot the long-exposure images with an analog 4×5 large format camera. They emit the same inviting glow regardless of [...]

She constructs fictitious environments, mostly out of a composite of existing landscapes and miniature objects/sets which she shoots in her studio. Her practice is mainly concerned with the experience of familiarity in fictional and uncanny imagery, such as [...]

Synthetic landscapes by Shane McAdams

Annie Churdar Contributor

By Annie Churdar in New Art on Monday 18 February 2013

These cool illustrations from Shane McAdams were created using an unexpectedly fresh media: try ball point pen, oil, and resine on panel. Step into a world of synthetic landscapes that are bursting with scenes of abstract bright colors. Some of the imagery is naturalistic and comfortable, but each piece sports neon colors, even where you’d [...]

By Sarah Eisenlohr in New Art on Tuesday 29 January 2013

I’m a Montana-based BFA student and this is my first collage series, called Mapping, which shows the transformation of our landscapes due to human impact over time. They are surreal yet light-hearted, while showing a collision between the organic and inorganic.

Alternative Landscapes by Benoit Paillé

Franck Deron Reader Find

By Franck Deron in New Photography on Wednesday 5 December 2012

Inspiring photography by Benoit Paillé. Reminds me of John Pfahl’s work. Abstract meets nature photography, I’ve always been a fan of that. It’s pure, very zen.

By Loraine Ahearn-Mintzer in New Art on Thursday 16 August 2012

My digital work allows me to explore vibrant use of color in a medium that I am able to control in great detail. I enjoy examining the natural world, and manipulating landscapes in ways that bring out an ‘otherworldly’ element in the image.

With a growing roster of worldwide shows, we’re sure she’s one to keep an eye on over the coming few years.

Ryan Strand Greensberg’s dynamic photojournalism

Jacob Klensin Reader Find

By Jacob Klensin in New Photography on Wednesday 25 April 2012

Ryan Strand Greenberg’s photography is what photojournalism is supposed to be. His work brings life and dignity to any subject matter, and tells a respectful narrative with each image. The material that he has created ranges from technically immaculate landscapes, to long form photographic essays of homeless encampments.

New digital photography by Brittanie Pendleton

Brittanie Pendleton Reader Find

By Brittanie Pendleton in New Photography on Tuesday 3 April 2012

I’m a digital photographer with a fondness for images that find meaning where it is missed. Or creating one. I photograph things people don’t often notice or appreciate fully: beauty in the mundane. Landscapes and the scenes from a girl’s life in the South dominate, and many of these are self-portraits. Nature and dilapidation also inspire me.

Check out my photo series, Spice of Life, where I re-create famous Vincent Van Gogh paintings out of salt, food-coloring, and various spices. After each is created and then photographed, it is then swept away.

Sherif Elhage

Contributions Reader Find

By SE in New Photography on Wednesday 23 March 2011

Born in St Petersbourg, and raised in Beirut by his Russian-Estonian mother and Lebanese father, autodidactic photographer Sherif Elhage now lives in Paris. Phew! He employs no corrective methods to his photography, so the composition of the colour and the original framing are integral elements of Sherif’s work.

Dave Mata Reader Find

By Dave Mata in New Art on Monday 19 October 2009

I had the pleasure of meeting painter Maria Calderon a few years back through some mutual friends. Even then her work was stunning. It seemed as though you could stand back and take in everything you thought you could, and if you moved up to a piece, you were pulled in to all the different [...]

Chi Birmingham

Ilana Kohn Reader Find

By Ilana Kohn in New Illustration on Tuesday 4 August 2009

I’ve always been a huge Milton Avery fan, so the instant I stumbled across the work of Californian artist Chi Birmingham, I was head over heals. I really enjoy how every year Birmingham decides to take his distinctive style in a new direction, from various American landscapes to basements (as if, after all those wide open landscapes, he needed to feel a little more protected?), to various everyday rooms (not quite ready to venture back into the wide outdoors, but tired of the dank basement day in day out?). I’d certainly recommend popping by Birmingham’s blog as well, as the subject matter on there are a lot of fun doodles and cool figurative bits.

Zohar Lazar

By Gerry Mak in New Illustration on Monday 13 July 2009

Zohar Lazar does some nice cartoon-y illustrations, but I find his kenetic, spacially confounding landscapes the feature crashing cars and abstracted junk to be particularly compelling.

Andrew Foster

Gerry Mak Reader Find

By Gerry Mak in New Art on Saturday 6 June 2009

Andrew Foster’s whimsical and erotic nudes seem to simultaneously lampoon and pay homage to the Impressionists. His pastel landscapes are completely devoid of men, and the women that inhabit them seem not to mind.
