The Strange Worlds project by Matthew Albanese is one of the most creative and interesting projects I have ever seen.
According to Albanese: "My work involves the construction of small-scale meticulously detailed models using various materials and objects to create emotive landscapes. Every aspect from the construction to the lighting of the final model is painstakingly pre-planned using methods which force the viewers perspective when photographed from a specific angle. Using a mixture of photographic techniques such as scale, depth of field, white balance and lighting I am able to drastically alter the appearance of my materials."

These amazing 12" custom figurines of Walter White from Breaking Bad were created by Trevor Grove of Slideshow Collectibles. He created the figures for Vince Gilligan, the creator of the show. If you watch the show, and you definitely should be, you'll notice the uncanny resembalance to Bryan Cranston's Walt/Heisenberg.

Cristophe Jacrot is a master of "bad weather" photography.
"In my opinion, there are two ways of capturing the world for a photographer; on the one hand grasping its horror, and on the other sublimating it. I have chosen the second. More specifically, I like the way rain, snow and “bad weather” awaken a feeling of romantic fiction within me, mainly in the big cities. (climatic excesses are another topic).
I see these elements as a fabulous ground for photography, an under-used visual universe with a strong evocative power, and with a richness of subtle lights. This universe escapes most of us, since we are too occupied getting undercover. Man becomes a ghostly silhouette wandering and obeying the hazards of rain or of snow, into the eternity of the climate ...
My approach is deliberately pictorial and emotional."
Here are some of his wonderful shots from Paris, Hong Kong, and Tokyo.
If you like double exposure photography, you'll be sure to love these double exposure paintings by Pakayla Biehn. Biehn collaborates with multiple photographers to create these masterful re-creations. At first glance you might mistake them for photos. Her attention to details is amazing.

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.
