quarterly3-1

The advert-free publication has developed a large following online and the respect of the photography industry in its 9-month existence and this final round of funding is “crucial” to its ongoing success, said the journal’s editor, Sanj Sahota.

We’ve grown so much in the last few months and now we’re finally at a point where we have the audience loyalty to print loads more copies but we need a small amount of funding to get there,

Each issue of The Quarterly is given one theme and professional photographers from around the world are invited to propose ideas and creative interpretations on each theme, Sanj explained.

The Surreal Photography of Madame Peripetie

in , , , ,

"A new fashion photography book by London-based image maker Sylwana Zybura (a.k.a. Madame Peripetie) is just about to be released by German publisher Seltmann+Söhne. Titled ‘Dream Sequence’, the book contains a series of portraits of imaginary characters, whose features are replaced by flowers or other objects while their bodies are covered with bizarre garments and colours. The book which evolved out of a long-term photography project, has won several awards (including the Double Gold at PX3 2011 in Paris, and an honourable mention at the International Photography Awards 2013 in New York), and has been compiled for costume designers, fashion stylists and everyone who is interested in character design and image building in general." via Yatzer

How big are Olympics venues?

in ,

I am not a big fan of sports (lawn-tennis only) and never let myself to start political discussions here, but I like art and infographics. That's what you can see in the latest project done by NY Times. They easily merged New York Central Park and Sochi Olympic object to compare the scale of the sport venues. Enjoy the full project with comments on http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/02/04/sports/olympic-venues.html

Double Exposures by Aneta Ivanova

in , ,

Bulgaria-based Aneta Ivanova is the photographer behind these striking double exposures that merge layers of landscapes together with silhouetted portraits. These photographs, in particular, focus on personal elements that she weaves together into completely mesmerising stories. She uses herself and her sisters as the models as well as photographs from Varna, the town where she was born. There is a luminous energy that radiates from all of her work and produces mystical sensations of magic and intrigue.

VSE OK

"Do you ever wonder what your action figures do when you’re not playing with them? One Russian photographer has turned his hypotheses into an entertaining Tumblr. Bruce Lee takes his street fighting skills to the kitchen, where he can karate chop a banana in half and make a really nice bowl of Cocoa Puffs. The Tumblr, VSE OK, features Iron Man, the Joker, Hulk, Spiderman, and others doing some things typical of their characters in a great big world." via vse-ok-1

Buildings Made of Sky by Peter Wegner

in , , ,

"Sometimes, all that’s required to take a standard photo and turn it into something special and unique is to flip your camera upside down. That’s what artist Peter Wegner did for his Buildings Made of Sky series, which features ‘skyscrapers’ outlined by the New York City streets when you flip your perspective." Take a step right or left. Wait a moment. It's all different and it's all the same. Mark Strand: "Each moment is a place you've never been."

Surreal photography by Ilya Kisaradov

in , , , ,

The surreal images of Russian photographer Ilya Kisaradov (aka ezorenier) have a level of vulnerability to them that draws the viewer's attention and allows one to empathize with each character within the frame. The photographer's subjects often exhibit a sense of confinement and isolation in nature that is heightened through props like a birdcage or even one's own hair wrapped tightly over the subject's mouth. via Ilya-Kisaradov-9
