Tim Walker is a well known fashion photographer.

“His unusual photos create a world of fantasy, developing new meanings and concepts about what fashion is. Always presented as pieces of fairy tales or stories, where everything is oversized, his work almost gives him the role of the ‘Mad Hatter’. The worlds he creates by ‘freezing’ the moment with his camera are fractures which fascinate the eye and make the mind wondering about inceptions and endings. His unique style makes the woman who photographs a princess who lives in a dream surrounded by the real walls of the stage she is in. Photos as the ones from bellow are his signature. Just love them!”

Creative Photography Of Moon By Laurent Laveder

Laurent Laveder’s creative photography of the moon. I’m sure some of you have seen his photos on the web. That’s how I first spotted them anyways. I doubt his were the first to have this kind of perspective of the moon, but it is definitely unique in some of the ways he chose to use the moon as the subject.

Greggory Crewdson

Greggory Crewdson’s photography is reminiscent of a film noir with dark shadows, startling contrast of light, and dramatic scenes that tell a tale.
