Andreas Lie (Instagram) makes animal art via the effect that scared anyone who has ever had a film camera – double exposure. His work combines pictures of animals with their natural surroundings, resulting in fox, wolf or bear shaped windows into the forests that they inhabit. It’s an interesting idea, getting you to consider not just the animals themselves, but also their surroundings. It could be considered as a take on “forest for the trees”, illustrating that we usually don’t think about the animals when we see landscape shots of forests. You can buy some of his art on Society6 store
Alana Dee Haynes (Instagram) is a Brooklyn-based artist who turns the bodies of her photographed subjects into illustrated surfaces, transforming blank skin and clothing into undulating patterns and shapes. via
“Everyone has a certain way they see the world. Some things jump out at people, while others pass them by. I see faces and patterns everywhere. When I look at people, I connect their beauty marks, and find faces in their knuckle lines. It’s just the way I live. So, naturally, I see these things in photographs too. It is not synesthesia, but it is a similar way of viewing multiple layers in things.” (Source)
Text via Instagram blog: “You are telling stories visually and without the need of words,” explains freelance street and dance photographer Omar Z. Robles (@omarzrobles), who is originally from Puerto Rico but now living in New York. Omar started to shoot dancers on streets when he moved to New York City three years ago, but his interest in the ability of the human body to physically share stories and emotions stems from a longtime passion for physical theater, dance and an education in the art of mime. Training under Marcel Marceau in Paris, Omar was influenced by the great French mime’s ability to tell a story without words. “It’s something I find completely exceptional,” he says.
Few posts ago we stated that found double-exposure technique a bit boring but hey look at Brandon Kidwell (Instagram) works they say. This guy levels up the hidden meanings and brings new life to that trend again
