"21-year-old photographer Evan James Atwood (Instagram) created the series 'Rain Water', portraying men seemingly floating and drowning in water.

"Lola Dupre manipulates photographs sans photoshop, cutting and pasting them into new images entirely by hand. Last time we covered her on the blog, she had taken a break from her figurative works to concentrate on monochromatic, Op Art-inspired abstract designs. But with her latest body of work, Dupre has returned to portraiture, this time unveiling a new body of work in full color. Apart from her personal projects, she recently created a fashion editorial for the Spanish fashion magazine Vein using her signature style". via Hi-Fructose
