For What It's Worth

Mining has always been a balance of give and take. On the one hand, precious materials useful for humans are extracted from the ground, and on the other, gigantic scars are left on the landscape. In his latest series, For What It’s Worth (part II), photographer Dillon Marsh visualises the quantity of copper and diamonds unearthed at mines around his home of South Africa. Using computer generated spheres to represent the material, he is given us a strikingly clear picture of sacrifice and gain. via

The CGI objects represent a scale model of the materials removed from each mine,” explains Marsh, “a solid mass occupying a scene showing the ground from which it was extracted. By doing so, the intention is to create a kind of visualisation of the merits and shortfalls of mining in South Africa, an industry that has shaped the history and economy of the country so radically

Hungarian photographer and graphic designer Flora Borsi has recently launched her new series called "IRÉEL", featuring mix of photographic elements with painting techniques. Last photo below is a behind the scene frame to see how she produced the final work.

A hyperrealist painter aims to achieve a result which looks like a real photographic picture. A pictorialist photographer's desired result is visually equivalent to a painting. The photographs are real, I've just applied some color/toning effects, adjusted the contrast and a few skin retouch.

Alessio Albi

Alessio Albi's stunningly atmospheric portraits explore light and shadows

I love natural light because it creates amazing shapes and volumes that I can’t obtain with artificial light. I could spend an entire day waiting for that precise ray of light coming through my window and shoot hundreds of photos only with this light source, because I love the way it interacts with the human body. I also love cloudy days for my outside shooting, because clouds create the perfect light diffuser and add lot of atmosphere to pictures. I love low light not only because it adds a lot to the atmosphere I want to create, but because it helps me to exclude a lot of details that would distract from the subject.

JR – #WomenAreHeroes

If you follow us on Instagram you might mentioned our post about the latest work of talented French street artist JR. A huge container-sheep left Le Havre carrying a huge murals as a part of "Women Are Heroes" long-term project started by JR in 2007.

I fulfilled my promise. At 7am, the 363 meter long ship left the Port of le Havre, France to cross the world all the way to Malaysia In 2007, I started Women Are Heroes. To pay tribute to those who play an essential role in society, but who are the primary victims of war, crime, rape or political and religious fanaticism, I pasted portraits and eyes of women on a train in Kenya, a Favela in Brazil, a demolished house in Cambodia. They gave their trust and they asked for a single promise make my story travel with you. I did it: on the bridges of Paris and the walls of Phnom penh, the building of New York, etc. I wanted to finish Women Are Heroes with a ship leaving a port, with a huge image which would look microscopic after a few minutes, with the idea of these women who stay in their villages and face difficulties in the regions torn by wars and poverty facing the infinity of the ocean. It did not happen at the time But during the last 10 days, we pasted 2600 strips of paper on the containers with the dockers of the port And this morning we saw the ship leaving the port. I have no idea of what is in the other containers on the boat: stuff from people leaving a country to build a different life in another region, goods that will be transformed, worn, eaten in a different country. I have no idea where and how people will see this artwork but I am sure that some women far away will feel something today . And in Le Havre, we are exhausted and proud

Portraits in Pantheon by JR

Artist JR started his career illegally posting enormous photographic imagery in the streets of Paris. The French capital eventually approved of JR’s installations and started supporting his artwork in the outdoors of Parisian housing projects from 2004 to 2006.In JR’s latest endeavour, the Pantheon opened this month with his “Au Panthéon!” project. It showcases thousands of portraits taken in March of this year from a photo-booth truck, which made its way to multiple nations. The portraits are arranged in mosaics on ornate ceilings, floors, and exterior of the famous monument. via
