I am a huge fan of Michael Ostermann's digital art illustrations. Each one sucks you into a surreal alternate world. Here is how he describes his process:
"Every project is different; in both needs and approach, he usually likes to start with a good photograph, a good idea that sets the mood of the overall image. He then applies his self-made resources and uses several photo-manipulation techniques, seeing where it leads."
Check out his Blog, Portfolio, and Twitter account to keep up with his amazing work.
One thing that has always confused me about fashion is the way seasons and designers dictate what is in and out of style. The shots in this series, for example, are from the Fall 2008 campaign for Valentino. In the fashion world, these are outfits are way out of style. Either way, this is a great set of photos.

Denis Zilber creates some amazing caricature illustrations. His work has been widely seen around the internet as well as publications such as GQ. He makes great use of exaggeration, colors, textures and composition to create a unique and memorable style. Check out his blog to keep up to date on his work.
David Bellemère's photos use unconventional set ups and backgrounds to portray a woman's beauty. The first few photos appear to use a slight reflection mixed with the women as a focus to create some interesting photos. The rest make use of unconventional locales to create interestingness.
The Carnival of Venice is easily the one of the most elaborate and elegant festivals around the world. Around 30k visitors go to Venice for each day for Carnivals. It is only right that someone properly capture such elegance and splendor, and that is exactly what Suchet Suwanmongkol has done.Each of his photos captures the colorful and elaborate costumes on display during Carnival. I also highly recommend checking out his other galleries.
