Dutch Scarlett Hooft Graafland graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in Hague in 1999. She then completed postgraduate studies in Belzalel, Jerusalem and a Master’s in sculpture at Parsons, New York. But, what really has caught the world’s eyes are not her sculptures but her photographs. Graafland is fascinated by remote, unusual and sometimes even inhospitable locations which she documents with her analogue camera. She then prints them straight from the negative and never uses Photoshop. Some places she has gone are Salar de Uyunu in the Bolivian Andes, the largest salt desert in the world and the Arctic plains of northern Canada where she travelled with the Inuit across the sea ice of Igloolik. She has also taken photographs of Southern China and the lava fields of Iceland.

HELMO
In 3d, Digital Design on 18 noviembre 2011 at 6:59French Thomas Couderc and Clément Vauchez, better known as Helmo, are the masterbrains behind this stunning series called Bêtes de Mode. They have used an anaglyph 3D technique where images of animals in red are merged with images of beautiful people in blue and the result is a stereoscopic effect which makes you crave a pair of 3D glasses.
