Small World by Manuel Archain.
“ The usual, everyday dream, our out of scale perception and how each one of us is so into our personal world that we cannot see what is happening around us. The size and weight of things is so distorted, we can even manage to move into a small world. Why the size of a truck could not be the same as my personal scale of a tea cup?”
“I think about how different materials might work or different consistencies. Sometimes I have an idea that I want to evoke in the viewer and will go from there. I instantly fell in love with the unpredictability of the photos and couldn’t stop experimenting.”
Photographer Jon Smith shoots shattering lightbulbs filled with various materials inside.
«The desert and its light volumes, make the ‘Anthology 2012-2014’ series a complex metaphysical scenario. A journey that connects the exterior with the interior, the physical space with the unconscious of the individual.“
Anthology 2012-2014 by Luca Tombolini.
Photographer Andy Lee captures the desolate roads of his travels in the series Roads Less Traveled. Check out some more of his beautifully lit photography here.
The Light Inside is a beautiful photo series which features illuminated fruits and veggies. Photographer Radu Zaciu carves holes in the objects and places a lightbulb inside, which highlights the natural textures and colors of the objects.
“Stubbornly bent on water fishermen believe in simple and meritorious work. Isolated in the mists of the lake, they see the pale waves come and go. In their boat nothing moves. Fishermen expect the gold fish.”
Fishing Story, photo series by Francoise Gaujour.
“Food Pantone is a list of color tones captured by the natural colors of the food. In Italian it is often said "yellow as a lemon, red as a tomato,” so I decided to photograph fruit, vegetables, etc. to create a different palette from the usual.“
Food Pantone by Ricardo Vincentelli.
“It is not as much photography as it is about sculpture and installation. The long oneman work on an largescale installation is a process triggering the artistic genom. This process involves the object, story, space and most important the time it is made within. It is an approach to the balance between nature and human culture, and all the sublevels of our own excistence. The work is made solely on site, and the photographs represents the reality of the installation itself.”
