Arto Saari – The Skateboarder Turned Photographer

Akermark – Color and Concrete in Stockholm Part II
Shot with Canon 5D mkII and Nikon D800 and made in Adobe Photoshop and After Effects, Akermark‘s “Color and Concrete in Stockholm Part 2″ shows a lot of hidden and abandoned places in the Stockholm area. Some might call it Urban Exploration. The images are all still images, only…3-dimensional.
Kim Keever – Staged Landscapes
“What makes these dioramas unusual is that they are created in a 200 gallon tank filled with water. Though I sometimes build a scene in front of and behind the tank, most of the “action” takes place in the tank with paint injected into the water for cloud formations. I use whatever materials I can find on the street, in stores and on the internet that might add to a perception of reality that is not quite what it seems.” Kim Keever

Akatre – Bizarre Photography
There’s absolutely no information that we’ve found on the artist Akatre other than his or her Tumblr page. However, the works on the page are awesomely strange. Looks like mainly portrait photography work with some serious flare. We’re sure you’ll enjoy it.
Jonathan Hertzberg – Dirty Old New York Subway
“A mix of clips of the New York City subway system on film, mostly from the ’70s and early ’80s, when graffiti was a mainstay on train cars and everything underground was, for the most part, grittier and more worn than it is today. The exact date range is 1966 to 1984…in other words, Lindsay to Koch.” – Jonathan Hertzberg
Elise Victoria Louise Windsor – Trompe L’Oeil “Petite Maison”
Elise Victoria Louise Windsor is a visual artist working and living in Toronto, Ontario. She graduated from OCAD University’s BFA program, focusing in photography, printmaking and sculpture. Layering photography with sculpture, she creates analogue-based photographic illusions addressing the phantasmagoric qualities specific to the medium of photography. In this series, Windsor confuses both the mind and the eye with her trompe l’oeil work.
