Rocio Montoya’s Ethereal Double-Exposure Photography

Though she is known for her work in fashion photography, the fine art photography of the Madrid-based Rocio Montoya offers a interesting new look at her skills in portraiture. Montoya's subjects, generally young women, are captured in moments that range from intense euphoric emotion to still, deadpan gazes. In some images, the faces of the subjects are obscured, adding a sense of aloofness and mystery. Her works are predominately in black and white, but Montoya uses a range of effects such as double exposure to make the images more vivid. Through her techniques, Montoya brings a new vision into the images she captures.

Murray Bowles was, by all accounts, the very best kind of artist. For more than forty years, he was in regular attendance at punk shows billing up-and-coming bands in ramshackle and makeshift venues throughout Northern California (particularly in the East Bay).

Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto thinks of himself not only as a technically skilled photographer, but as a conceptual artist as well. Since his first series titled "Dioramas" in the 1970s, his works embody the mystifying fakeness that has drawn fans to natural history museum dioramas and wax museums for years. In 1999, the Deutsche Guggenheim commissioned Sugimoto to produce a similar series, "Portraits", focusing on Madame Tussaud's wax museum in London, where he photographed the most realistic wax mannequins of historical figures against a black background.

Daesung Lee's photo series "Futuristic Archeology" visualizes the threat climate change poses to Mongolia's traditional nomadic culture. As global warming takes its course, the country's once-lush land has become increasingly arid. According to a Mongolian government survey, hundreds of lakes and rivers have dried out. Twenty-five percent of the territory has turned into desert within the past 30 years. Mongolia's nomadic people, who comprise about 35 percent of the population, haven't fared well with these changes, as they depend on the land for their livelihood.

Oleg Oprisco’s Stylized Photography Indulges the Fantasy of Escape

Kiev-based photographer Oleg Oprisco's works modify small details in their real-world settings to convey the essence of fantasy. It is as if his photos give off the fresh, dewy aroma of a wild escape to a desolate countryside that seems to belong to no specific time or place. In one piece, a girl holds up a rolled-up piece of a grassy lawn. Though anyone could do this in real life, in the photograph she seems to wield a sort of power over the land with her powerful, summoning gaze. In another, a model holds a stained umbrella that briefly gives the impression of a multi-colored rain shower before Oprisco's process of dousing the set in paint gives itself away. These small details invite viewers to indulge Oprisco's innocent, storybook-like fantasies.
