After getting his new looker book for christmas I have a new found love for young Kern. See more of Richard Kern's work at his site: www.richardkern.com
Photographs from the popular fairy tale series Yanagi picks up on the dark undertones of our childhood stories placing us in a world where we see a colourful world in stark blackness.
Honjos technique of using a tilt and shift lens to make the real world look like toy town may have been played to death in recent times but its great to look back at the originals to see where it all began.
Im sure most of you have seen this work by now but you havent its well worth checking out Izima Kaoru s fashion photographs with a morbid twist (the models all play dead).
Tim Simmons investigates the multilayer relationships with our surroundings. Its his attention to detail in framing and lighting that we grasp in the work.
Nadav Kander Lond based photographer has a real talent of looking at the everyday world and seeking out the dark and irrational and display it to us in a dark and irrational manner.
