Thomas Barbèy

Thomas Barbey‘s surrealistic images fascinate by their real unreality. He grew up in Geneva, Switzerland, and started drawing seriously at the age of 13, using black “encre de Chine” and gouaches for color. His influences were Philippe Druillet, Roger Dean and H.R. Giger. After living in Geneva for 17 years he decided to move to Italy, in Milan for 15 years making a living as a successful recording artist, lyricist and fashion photographer. Finaly he resides in Las Vegas and travels the world, taking pictures wherever he goes.

Hans Silvester’s Tribal Portraits

Hans Silvester is a German-born artist that followed a good number of career paths, including forays into journalism, philanthropy and environmental activism. Born in Lorrach, Germany in 1938, he graduated from the School of Fribourg in 1955. After that he became a traveler and photographer. 

His oeuvre includes studies of various regions around the world, including France, Central America, Japan, Portugal, Egypt, Tunisia, Hungary, Peru, Italy and Spain throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s. After that he turned his attention toward Europe’s nature preserves, the expansive Calavon river valley, and the Amazon. Then he moved on to the Great Indian Desert, documenting the lives of women in Rajasthan, before publishing a number of book series devoted to locations such as the colorful landscapes of Provence and the Greek Isles.  

Silvester’s recent work features the Surma and Mursi people of the Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia, presenting the beauty of the tribes’ ancient tradition of temporary body decoration. His photographs reveal the use of bright mineral paints to embellish the skin and the use of flora and fauna to fashion spectacular headpieces and body accessories.

Liquid Flowers by Jack Long

Try to guess for a minute what is the subject of the photographer!

Flowers maybe?

Well …no! These beautiful colorful photographs by Jack Long are actually high speed photographs of colored water! They are captured in a specific way to mimic the shape of blooms, leaves and  pots. Each photograph from Vessels and Blooms series is captured in a stunningly precise way that took months of trial and experiments. He created cocktails of dyes, thickeners and pigments for each component of the shot and then blasted them through a customized mechanism before snapping a perfectly timed capture. You can see much more of his work on Flickr and 500px.

He shoots a mixture of editorial, design and advertising work for his clients.  This series was shot in Tokyo, Japan and Shenzhen, China.

Charlotte Caron’s Portraits

Charlotte Caron is a joung artist who graduated from Fine Arts with honors just last year and already has an impressive body of work. Between her four series—Landscapes, Portraits, Vanities, and Anatomy— the Portraits are really impressive. Mixing painting and photography she creates surrealistic hybrids of humans and animals, in order to express the duality of the soul. Very impressive indeed!
