Terje Sorgjerd's time lapse video at the top of El Teide, Spain's tallest mountain, is truly a thing of magic. His goal was to capture the Milky Way and the mountains of El Teide, and he did an amazing job of it. I love every second of this video.
Here's a great set of double expsoures by Andre de Freitas. I find double exposures extremely fascinating. It gives a glimpse into two completely separate but intertwined worlds. Whenever I see them, I try to imagine what went through the photographer's mind when combining these images. I am especially curious about the first image in the set. It feels like there is a beautiful tale waiting to be told by this image.
You might remember Matt Mawson from his great Coney Island series. This time he captures the Queensboro Bridge in New York City and its surroundings. I think the high contrast in these photos really helps make these rainy day photos come to life and gives them a gritty look.
In honor of the International Year of Forests, Doo Creative teamed up with photographer Suresh Natarajan to create the Green Guardians Calendar 2011 and we can all be glad that they did. These shots perfectly match the beauty of women and mother nature.
If you haven't seen Nuit Blanche before, you are in for a treat. This amazing short story explores a fleeting moment between two strangers. I highly suggest watching both the film and making of, to truly see what went into making this film.
Zorik Istomin has such incredibly stylized photos, you would think they were illustrations. Once you learn that these are photos, you are almost forced to stare at each one, trying to figure out how he creates such unique stylized photos. His unique style, interesting compositions, and great use of colors make for some awesome photos.
Some seriously cool aerial shots by 500px user Roof Topper. I especially like the perspective of the first photo. It takes some serious guts to sit on the edge of a tall building like that.
Carlos Nunez has an unbelievable knack for portraying women in the most beautiful light. Each shot brings out the best in his models. He describes his style as natural, soft, voyeuristic and erotic, I just call it awesome. Keep up the fantastic work Carlos.
If you haven't seen these animated gifs by Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg yet, you are in for a treat. These aren't your run of the mill early 90's gifs, they're more aptly called cinemagraphs by their creators.The idea for cinegraphs came up when the pair was preparing for Fashion Week. They wanted to tell more of a story than a single frame but didn't want the hassle of creating a video. I love the ones where you stare at the image, waiting to see what will happen. For more details about these awesome images, read the articles on Gawker and My Modern Metropolis. Don't forget to check out the rest of their amazing work on Tumblr.
