My name is Jeremy Brake I’ve been photographing for 5 years, I was born in Halifax, Canada and now reside in Corner Brook. This ongoing series is a merging of abstract lines and shapes with the “decisive moment” where every part of the composition lines up together, to show the people around me only through their shadows. Throughout all of...

My work focuses on fine art portraiture involving the abstract ideas of personality. I aim to create concept driven imagery that combines the intrinsic ideas of culture, identity, and self. I create this kind of work because I believe that individuality is the most important facet of humanity and want people to see this through my art. ~Arit...
And so you know how this came about, well some years ago I remember this cereal box I had. And in the back of it were some little games. One of them was to read a word. But the word just looked like a barcode. Imagine long lines really close together, apparently according to this cereal box those lines spelled out a word. Soon after struggling to...
I’m a Canadian photo and video based artist. I use miniature dioramas to construct surreal scenes that create a feeling of mystery and tension. The viewer projects their own story or interpretation into the implied actions. ~Mark Bartkiw The analogue macro-photographic approach is a crucial aspect of the construction of the images. The camera...
In my work, I’m focused on the relation between man and nature. Project Recto Verso (obverse and reverse) combines a world of technology and nature. It is divided into several phases, where nature is involved in the process as well as technology. Through installations and special imprinting methods I research inner perception of landscape. I...
Not long ago, neighborhood newsstands where the place to go for information and daily news. In big urban centers like NYC, those were everywhere. In 1950 there were more than 1500 newsstands across town. Lately people started to access news through digital devices, bringing down print media sales. That, of course, had a huge effect on the presence...
Olivia Bee creates dreamy and haunting images following her exploration of the human condition in the modern day. The retro color palette with grainy texture to the film harks back to the 70s and the rise of pop art. But there’s a sadness in looking back through time this way. As if we’re looking back at youth now lost.Originally from...
Brazilian photographer Gabriel Wickbold pours buckets’ worth of paint on his models in a simultaneously transcendent and sort of cruel artistic endeavor. Explosions of color and raw sensuality seem to jump out from each one of his works in the series titled “Sexual Color”. Wickbold says of the works, “The paint is a protection and at the...
The Singh Project by British photographers Amit and Naroop is a visual exploration of masculine identity for Sikh men in London. The series showcases 35 portraits of men who express symbols of their Sikh faith with the added flare of their own personal styles, professions, and multicultural backgrounds. In Sikhism, the beard and the turban are two...
My work examines the often disastrous effects of military PTSD on the family structure. After reading about my grandfather’s experience in Guadalcanal, I embarked on a yearlong examination of how his trauma and mental fallout affected two subsequent generations of family. I created a series of self portraits embodying this, playing...
In Unconscious Commands and Judgements of our Century, a self-portrait project, I ‘perform’ different aspects of my personality in front of the camera with the intention of creating an inner dialogue of self-acceptance. The staged photographs where every single character plays a role in the conversation, are almost knee jerk reactions to...
