volvolifepaint
“As urban streets are increasingly shared between drivers and cyclists, road safety is more of an issue than ever before. In the UK, more than 19,000 cyclists are involved in accidents every year. Many of these collisions take place in London, where the city’s often old, narrow streets make it difficult to accommodate both four-wheeled and two-wheeled drivers. Swedish car manufacturer Volvo is now addressing the problem with the introduction of its new product Life Paint, which just launched in London.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfWzeGlaFvI

danit-peleg-3d-fashion
Danit Peleg: “In September 2014 I started working on my graduate collection for my Fashion Design degree at Shenkar. This year, I decided to work with 3D printing, which I barely knew anything about. I wanted to check if it’d be possible to create an entire garment using technology accessible to anyone. So I embarked on my 3D printing journey, without really knowing what the end result would be.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s94mIhCyt4

ohhio-Anna-Marinenko
Merely a year ago Anna, a Kiev-based handcrafting artist, was captivated by an unusual material that sparked an idea to knit a blanket with a supersized ties using hands instead of spokes. That’s how a Kikstarter’s success – Ohhio project started. By this time her project is baked 10 times more than she estimated leaving her a lot of evenings to create and dispatch the orders made by earlier supporters. With no doubts Anna shows us the way how a small idea become a great path in a life.

laforet-nyc0
Multi-talented Swiss-born filmmaker and photographer Vincent Laforet has wowed his fans with breathtaking late-night aerial photos of New York City, illuminated by the lights of a city that never sleeps. He shot the series “Night Over New York” while sitting on the edge of a helicopter flying above the Big Apple.
Daisuke-Takakura0
Japanese photographer Daisuke Takakura takes clone photography pretty seriously. His project “Monodramatic” features some models tens of times, with some of the clones so far away from the camera that they can barely be seen in the distance.
Ivan the Prince
Uldus reinterprets traditional Russian Tales in her photos by focusing on the pagans roots and ethnography of Russia. Her works are thoroughly detailed and immersive, and are based on comprehensive research and comparison with Euro-Asian mythology. The artist pays special attention to her ambivalent interpretation of the symbolism hidden in legends and myths.
daria-khoroshavina-6
Moscow-based photographer Daria Khoroshavina creates awesome animated photographs of her favourite cooking recipes.
Francesca-Fattori
The Wonders Taste was inspired by a René Magritte’s picture named “The Invisible’s Taste”. Artist Francesca Fattori often take inspiration from the surrealist art. Fattori objectifies ordinary food ingredients by relating them to her personal perceptions of sinuosity; extravagance; limitation and fragility. The pictures are still scenes from a play and removed from their fluid natural sequence, which she likes to call “Metaphysical Landscapes”.
burkard0
Chris Burkard is a photographer based in California, whose work is layered by surf, outdoor, lifestyle and travel subjects. Burkard’s images are punctuated by energized landscapes and moments of bliss, by adventure seeking and the lifestyle that ensues, by movement and intuitive light-working capabilities
preservation-blak-little
“When people showed up to Blake Little’s studio in response to a Craigslist ad calling for actors, the amateur thespians didn’t realize what they were in for. Fascinated with honey as a symbol and an artistic medium, Little asked his subjects to strip naked and pose in front of a monochromatic backdrop while his assistants doused them in gallons of the sticky, viscous substance. The experiment yielded a striking photo series in which people with a diverse array of body types and aesthetics appear transformed into statues."
michaela-noroc-atlas-beauty-0
Romanian photographer Mihaela Noroc is on a mission to capture portraits of women from every country in the world in order to shed light on the beauty that exists everywhere. A little over two years ago, at the age of 27, Noroc quit her job, withdrew all her life savings, and embarked on an incredible journey across the globe with little more than her camera and backpack. Her travels so far are documented in The Atlas of Beauty, an ongoing project that features a diverse array of local women from 37 different countries and almost every single continent.
alex-maclean
Award-winning Fine Art Aerial photographer Alex MacLean creates abstract canvases by shooting man-made and natural landscapes from a bird’s eye view.
ray-collins-0
Artists have wrestled with the raw, majestic, natural power of the sea for hundreds of years, but Australia-based photographer Ray Collins is one of the few who really gets it right. Collins’ epic wave photos seem to freeze and capture all of the sea’s power, casting it in the respectful and majestic light that it deserves.
michaelwolf-hongkong-0
With seven million people, Hong Kong is the 4th most densely populated places in the world. However, plain numbers never tell the full story. In his “Architecture of Density” photo series, German photographer Michael Wolf explores the jaw-dropping urban landscapes of Hong Kong. He rids his photographs of any context, removing any sky or horizon line from the frame and flattening the space until it becomes a relentless abstraction of urban expansion, with no escape for the viewer’s eye. Infinite and haunting.
alain-cornu-paris-rooftops0
If you have been to Paris you might remember its mythical nights full of love and unknown. Photographer Alain Cornu focus on the second topic – unknown for the common eye, and that is Paris roofs.

annadiprospero

instagram-lies
Every day, thousands of people on Instagram snap pictures meant to invent a new identity for themselves. That is the message behind this wonderful photo series by Chompoo Baritone, a photographer in Bangkok, Thailand who shows just how fake Instagram photos can be.
Erik-Madigan-Heck
“At first, these highly stylized fashion images from Erik Madigan Heck look like vector art. However, these shots of Junya Watanabe’s Fall 2015 collection are actually all photography, but edited to be flat and one dimensional to complement the graphic nature of the collection.”
Mattia-Crepaldi
Milan-based photographer Mattia Crepaldi teamed up with some of the most beautiful models of Italy and Europe, such as Ilaria Pozzi. They all have jaw-dropping tattoos, from neo traditional to geometric, and from tattoo masters such as Marco Galdo. Mattia Crepaldi’s portraits are diptychs, showing two different aspects or complementary sides of his model. The result is raw, dark, but also moving and breath-taking…
benthomas
“In the series ‘Chroma’, Australian photographer Ben Thomas captures photos of urban landscapes featuring bright aqua-hue tones and simple forms that resemble illustrations. Shot across a number of cities – including London, Paris, Hong Kong, and Shanghai – the images depict a diverse mix of architecture and skylines. To achieve the colour and texture seen in his photos, Thomas usually photographs on sunny days and uses photo editing tools to create the right balance between intensity and depth.”
London-based Russian photographer Anna Radchenko (previously) just completed her last fashion project of 2015. Commissioned by Eclectic Magazine the "Epicenter" is her new creative affair that will transform to a fashion film for SHOWStudio competition

Talented designer working in NYC at CHRLX - Danil Krivoruchko (previously) has a very little spare time to spend it between his adorable twin sons and personal projects. Anyhow he was able to showcase his latest practices in Houdini software and released a CGI Procedural Fashion Catwalk we are expecting as a near future substitution of that exhausting show industry

Istanbul-based photographer Aydın Büyüktaş presents a series of photography artworks being inspired by Edwin Abbott's book “Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions”. It's the "Inception"-movie-like retouched photos of some local famous and infamous places.
Colombian illustrator Daniel Aristizábal compacts the all-star mediums and genres of 20th century artistic movements into user-friendly, candy-colored graphics. As chronicled on his Instagram, Aristizábal applies V-Ray to dadaism, glitch art to cubism, and takes futurism digital, bundling it all up in the bubbly pastel palette of pop. In his projects, the artist has riffed on Salvador Dalí's eggs with his Huevos series and hits the warped waves with Joan Miró in his Sunny days are coming pieces. Despite the succession of stylistic influences, however, the artist sees his art as fundamentally uncomplicated: “My work is full of simplicity and organic shapes,” he tells the Instagram Blog. “It is nostalgic in its essence.” - via The Creators Project
erik-sodeberg2015-1
Cross-media artist Erik Söderberg beside his commercial work experiments a lot with GIF animation
“In early 2011 I was exploring the relations of geometry, nature and the human being in a series of 25 pictures that I called Fractal Experience,” he explains. “This is part two – continuing the exploration of geometric shapes, patterns, and fractals with an added element – space-time.”

Following the Behance Year in Review - Ukraine was the most growing community on the creative network. Frankly they selected only 3 projects by category, though with reasonable certainty "Ohhio Knits" designed by Anna Marinenko reserved its place as it should. Merely a year ago Anna, a Kiev-based handcrafting artist, was captivated by an unusual material that sparked an idea to knit a blanket with a supersized ties using hands instead of spokes. That's how a Kikstarter's success - Ohhio project started. By this time her project is baked 10 times more than she estimated leaving her a lot of evenings to create and dispatch the orders made by earlier supporters. With no doubts Anna shows us the way how a small idea become a great path in a life.

cy-tone-arch3type2
Our friend and recent collaborator at the Digital Decade III Cy Tone collaborated with electronic music composer Franco Cazzola to release THE ARCH3TYPE piece (Listen to the full album on Spotify). "Odi et amo, endless dualism between good and evil, light and darkness, love and hate. The cube, a metaphysical symbol of improvement in human and social dimensions. One white, on the run. One black, hunting ... together to become a single element ... LIFE"
