mlesn on Flickr has some really great HDR (High Dynamic Range, which apparently uses a higher range of exposure) photographs. It's hard to believe they aren't digitally manipulated. (link via dooce).
Scarlett Johansson and Dita von Teese did an erotic, seemingly S&M-inspired photo session (NSFW) for Flaunt Magazine... and I pass out after spontaneously orgasming at the thought of Scarlett and Dita together in erotic, S&M-inspired photographs.
Photographer Boogie has a new book out, entitled It's All Good, featuring his pictures of life in New York City. On his website are also amazing pics of Brazil, Cuba, Belgrade, and European Gypsies.
French actress Monica Bellucci looks familiar, so I checked IMDb: she was Persephone in the two latter Matrix movies, the evil queen lady in The Brothers Grimm, and Mary Magdelene in The Passion of the Christ. She doesn't know it yet, but her next role will be as my girlfriend.
Mark Brodie's photography succinctly captures the grit and softness of vagabond youth, from Oregon to Minnesota to Pennsylvania. Perhaps romanticizing them too much? Several pictures are taken of a building called "Paradise City, USA," and I'd swear there was a place called that in Philly, where the gutter punks and homeless kids resided.
I normally don't like anything even remotely sepia-toned, but these photographs by Luis Gonzalez Palma are intriguing. Gritty, understated, and off-putting.
Wish my Spanish was better so I could understand more of the titles and better interpret the photographs: like the picture of the broken baby crib in a room full of stuffed birds entitled mientras esperaba pensaba en el sueño. Something about while someone is sleeping?
Lovisa Ringborg has the most wonderful, etheral photographs (and the coolest name).
I love that the individuals featured in the photos are less the focal point and more a vehicle for telling the story.
Watch for tiny details in the images, like the feline shape on the arm of the masked girl and the scratch marks on the face of the boy holding the T-Rex toy (both in Series I).
The beautiful colors and lighting in Merkley's photos are acheived with his seemingly masterful (i.e. I couldn't do it) use of Photoshop, and show what wonders can be done digitally.
His composition and choice of subject matter are great (although most of his female models are the standard SuicideGirls fare).
