Carsten Witte
I really love this work by Carsten Witte, I made a collage out of my favorite images of his to put on my blog. Carsten Witte is a Hamburg based contemporary photographer, he was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1964, he studied at Bielefeld school of photography.
These photographs are from a series called 'Intuition'. I like them because of the contrast between the soft and beautiful portraits of the young women against the harsh skulls making them.
Quote from Carsten Witte:
"One main idea behind my work is the belief that everything is constantly changing but photography can preserve the moment. Beauty is almost nothing without the knowledge of how fast it will fade"-Quote sourced from 'Behance'.

This photograph is one of many from his 'Feral houses' collection that he started in 2006 when he moved back to Michigan with his family to be a stay at home father.
I like this photograph because it shows the decay and crumbling of the house and it links to our exam title (outside inside in-between) as the trees that are usual found outside are beginning to grow into the house.
I put together a few of his pieces of work as I couldn't choose my favorite. He is a China based photographer, he works and lives in Beijing and Shanghai, he has lived and worked in New York, London and Beijing.
His photographs consist of
-Editorial
-Advertising
-Corporate work
His methods include portraits, travel, interiors and concept driven works.
He has worked with:
-Ferrari
-British airways
-Wrigley's
-Volvo
-Bosch
-Marks and Spencer
-Telegraph magazine
-Vanity fair
and many more.
I like his work because I would also like to experiment with double exposures both digitally and in the darkroom.
Steampunk by Lindsey Bessanon
An Arizona artist, creating intricate pieces of art comparing the delicacy of insects with the delicacy of mechanical gears.
She creates these by freeze drying insects and she then takes them apart strengthening each joint with metal and then putting them back together again.
She buys the already dead bugs from Ebay and specialist entomologist sites as she doesn't have the heard to kill them herself.
Her work is very controversial. She started off with casting the bugs in silver but after being dissatisfied with the lack of possibilities with the material, she decided to use the actual insect saying that it was prettier.
Quote from Lindsey Bessanon
"I had a purple dung beetle with a beautiful colour" "When I cast it in silver I lost the beauty of the bug"
Here she talks about her decision to change from casting the bug to using the actual bug.
I find her work very interesting and intriguing, looking at her work bring up a lot of questions such as, why would anyone want to do this?

Quote's by Brad Carlile
"Tempus Incognitos is my series of large scale photographs depicting hotel rooms in which time and space fade into one another and there is no clear sense of place. These images challenge our intuition about time itself and pique our curiosity about the stories held within those walls. Think Edward Hopper interiors awash in James Terrell colours with David Lynch directing.
"Tempus Incognitos" records the day's transitional times and shows them existing concurrently. The Cubists painted individual scenes from several different perspectives at once. In this series, I photograph individual rooms at several different times of day from a single perspective.
The intense colours created by this time-intensive non-digital technique. To maintain the essential ties to reality all work is done in-camera and on-film with no digital creation or digital manipulation.
