Flora is highly talented 20 year Hungarian Photography Student in Budapest who has found a way to present her surreal take on the world through her use of photography and photo manipulation. 

This has such a strong painterly feel for me and I love the way the picture is carefully planned to provide such inventive concepts.

Light painting has come of age recently with photographers finding more creative ways to use the technique rather than the default traffic images of a few years ago. This image by BurnBlue Photography caught my attention as its one of the first to try to incorporate its technique within a more natural landscape. It does a great job of grabbing your attention and makes me wonder just how it was done?

Cinemagraphs — are animated GIF images that look like moving photos. They have an almost hypnotic feel when you initially come across one on the web and combined with the high quality fashion photography create amazing images that you cant but help look at.

This photograph by Sarah Cooper and Nina Gorfer’s  comes from a set which documented their journey to Kyrgyzstan and was part of their solo exhibition called My Quiet of Gold.

The artist/photographers approached the culture by allowing the people they met to stage their own stories.

The artists’ portrayals of the people not only have a strong 19th century portrait feel but also suggest other meanings hidden away in the narrative of the image.
