If you ask us Jack Brauer from Colorado is the best mountain photographer there is. With his camera he seeks out spectacular scenes from all around the world and brings back not only excellent photography but a feeling pf peace and happiness too. On top of that he seems to have good weather wherever he goes.
Born in 1948 in Shreveport, Louisiana, Marilyn Minter lives and works in New York City. As an artist she uses different mediums like photography, painting and video installations but you can always be sure that it will tickle your imagination.
Japanese scientist/fisherman/artist Iori Tomita is the man behind this curious collection of see-through animals, which form part of his project called ‘New World Transparent Specimens’. The specimens are created using a preservation and dyeing technique usually only used for scientific purposes, such as examining the skeletal system and the underlying biological makeup. Tomita uses an enzyme to dissolve the natural proteins in the flesh. He then injects red dyes into the harder bones and blue dyes into the softer cartilage, thus highlighting usually unseen internal structures. The dead creature is then preserved in a jar of glycerin. Tomita started to create these transparent specimens as pieces of work to help people feel closer to the wonders of life and say that there are no limits to how people may interpret his work – as academic material, a piece of art, or even an entrance to philosophy. Magic!
Fortunately, artist Marina Bychkova from Vancouver, British Columbia, never stopped playing with dolls, she just got tired of the typical mass-produced ones and decided to create ball-jointed porcelain beauties. Apart from being fine pieces of art, her Enchanted Dolls also have a funny twist to them since Bychkova lets the client costumize everything from skin tone and eyes colour to clothes and jewellery. If you fancy one with tattoos, wings and pubic hair, that’s not a problem either. We love it!

Olivia Malone was born and raised on the east side of Los Angeles but is currently living in New York. Her photography explores the transitions between youth and adulthood and by handpicking subjects from real life as well as artists, designers, scene icons, musicians, and her closest friends, she utilizes symbolic locations and real people to convey concepts that draw upon her own experiences. Yeah!
Say hello to Ophelia Olive, a girl who runs a ‘photo blog of a girl who photographs herself’ as well as being the unquestionable muse of Thrifted and Modern.
Los Angeles based photographer Eliot Lee Hazel might be most famous for his work with musicians like Devendra Barnhart, Morcheeba and Yeasayer (to mention a few) but the truth is that whichever of his gritty pics is enough to make a heart thump.
