I love not always being behind the lens of Steven Laxton’s shots. He always incorporates some form of extreme depth of focus or shows a reflection of what is behind the camera - not only what is infront. “Fight Club” is great, and although the expression is a bit on the dull side “dystopian future” is also beautiful.

| Hopefully Wendy Bevan’s website will be updated soon - I just caught some of these images from MUSE, winter 2008 on a blog and feel obliged to share. The blog entry can be seen here. There is something about telling the story through not only the images - but the distortions and blurs also that turns me on. Something makes me wish to be there - then again they’re pretty spooky - so maybe not.

Some of the images made by Prabuddha have been permanently burned into my mind (like the first on the left) and have defined my obsessive fascination with India (actually, to be honest - with Indian women). In my favorite series of his personal work called “Longing”- he focuses on creating visual journals of memory and experience that delicately and secretly tell the story of change in social India. His spreads for Vogue India are the most beautiful, sensual, and sexual images I have ever seen. Gives me warm shivers…

| The most amazing shots of what happens under, above, and around the sea. Every single shot is captivating and beautiful. Reminds me of Brooke Shields swimming with the ocean animals in “The Blue Lagoon” - oh the dream life.

| Oona has a small collection on Flickr that I constantly look at. Some of these images I’ve stared at for hours and still cant understand why I find them so beautiful. I’m not sure if them make me nostalgic of past desires, if they make me want to move to Antwerp - Belgium, if I want a girlfriend that looks like her model (Merel), or if I’m inspired to attempt to create anything nearly as simple and beautiful. Even though they can be put in a “film, natural” photograph category, the images themselves are so amazing I can only describe them as “Oona.” I’d pay zillions to have them blown up and put on my walls.

| Diego Lema, a model from Mexico - now turned photographer, has a great take on photography - and especially the (often times men - that he shoots). The thing I love about it - there is no sign of androgyny here, only pure masculinity. Maybe its the post-processing that adds destruction, or maybe something else, of all- it is nice to see photographs of men that have no questions of gender or sexuality.

It is annoying to me that this artist has not giving his identity, but I am still so glad I found him on deviantArt, great stuff. Very calming and an odd type of funny: you’ll think it is humorous, but you wont laugh.

| Zinin Alexei has some great artistic nudes. And being artistic nudes - they are actually artistic and beautiful - always classy (never smut). All of his models are amazing to say the least (the very least). |  |

Federico Erra has been one of my favorite flickr members for a very long time. His colors and editing have an aesthetic beauty that is exclusive to his work. He has a selection of some models, a sex and psychology series, and my favorite: his self portraits and portraits of his beautiful girlfriend.

These are the finds that I love! A fashion designer who loves photography - simply stated on her flickr profile. Her flickr shows a great deal of beautifully natural photos. Natural, but not effortless. The one pictured is an amazing scene of what I believe is somewhere in Sweden. Great stuff!

Ryan Schude’s photographs are already amazing, but some of them I consider more than just photographs: The few images in the beginning of the first section of his portfolio are complete stories and events. They are so unique because the subjects aren’t just relating to their surroundings - they are scattered everywhere and still all relate to each other. His lighting and story telling really go beyond a 2 dimensional format and remind me of the recollection of an entire memory. They are almost like a short scene in a movie all in one shot.
