Nois7
"Robert Jahns, better known as nois7, has casually been manipulating photos to create surreal, impossible situations for some time now. Featured throughout much of his work are cities – bold old and new – infused with extremes, from the frozen canals of Venice to skateboarding the skyline of New York City. While the idea itself is not necessarily new, the execution is very well done, leaving the viewer with a sense of awe." via Highsnobiety
Damien Vignaux Showreel 2014

Sam Alive photography
Born in Taiwan and trapped in New York City photographer Sam Alive has a natural talent for capturing beautiful moments of his life that one can call routine. His personal online playgrounds like Flickr, Tumblr, Facebook and Instagram are full of awesome moments but personally we liked his latest series of mobile photography "Through the Phone" where he uses his iPhone to capture landscapes and scenes through a digital lens.
Taylor McCormick Photography
Firstly a young daydreamer and than the photographer - Taylor McCormick imagines in all her creative way.
Facades by Zacharie Gaudrillot-Roy
"Facades is an ongoing series of work by French photographer Zacharie Gaudrillot-Roy that imagines a world where facades have been completely isolated from buildings. He shares of the project" writes Collosal
The façade is the first thing we see, it’s the surface of a building. It can be impressive, superficial or safe. Just like during a wandering through a foreign city, I walk through the streets with these questions: what will happen if we stick to that first vision? If the daily life of “The Other” was only a scenery? This series thus offers a vision of an unknown world that would only be a picture, without intimate space, with looks as the only refuge.
Yosemite II
All I want now is a huge projector, darkness and new Yosemite II time-lapse movie to create the atmosphere of a peace on a planet, just peace for these 5 damned minutes.
A 200+ mile backpacking experience through Yosemite National Park captured by Colin Delehanty and Sheldon Neill. This project was filmed over the course of 10 months. We spent a combined 45 days in the park capturing the images in this video. To view the entire story, please visit projectyose.com or find us on Facebook at facebook.com/projectyose

The Quarterly Issue 3
Advert-free photographic journal, The Quarterly, seeks funding on Kickstarter for third issue The voluntary team behind the award-winning photography publication, The Quarterly, has returned to Kickstarter to raise the final funds needed for a larger print run for the third issue of the magazine.
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.
Check the details of Issue 3 on the Quarterly website

The Surreal Photography of Madame Peripetie
"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?
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
Seeing New York
New York based Ann Street Studio formed by two passionate photographers Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg. Beside fashion editorials and beauty shots we like their section of Cinemagraphs and "Seeing New York" series in particular.
Double Exposures by Aneta Ivanova
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
Buildings Made of Sky by Peter Wegner
"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
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

Uzbekistan photographer Ravshaniya creates intriguing photographs with a decent digital manipulation
