Andrzej Pluta - New Photographer
Andrzej Pluta, a photographer residing in Canada, photographs flowers using a Sinar 8x10 camera and Fujichrome film. To create his unique style, he uses glass and liquids placed between the lens and the flowers to create beautiful painterly images that can be reproduced as enormous prints maintaining a very high resolution because of the large film used. There is no after-capture manipulation used.The images below, from the left are "Fleur 15", "Sun Wilds 53" and "M Series 5". Click on the images to see a full PDF portfolio.

Alessandro Puccinelli - New Work
Alessandro Puccinelli has released a new set of images of his van that he stays in while photographing the enormous ocean waves along the South coast of Portugal. He bought the old '81 motorhome in order to be able to spend as much time as possible next to the sea and began to photograph the van in various locations just before he would retire for the night. Surreal images, with this lonely foreign object within gorgeous landscapes, sea and skies.
