Metamorphose by Fontenoy’s (slit scan photography series):

The human body and skin and portraits are all of my favorite things. i love feeling vulnerable for a person i dont even know.

This is the first milk bath photograph I have loved since Whoopi.

Both painting and photography becomes one.

This has made me think a lot differently about mixed media. And about art in general. I love that.

I recently watched this documentary on Netflix and highly recommend watching it. This guy will shut down streets to take these beautiful images. 

That is a real baby.. they waited like 6 hours for it to fall asleep and take this photo

Heres the trailer:

"I've been suffering from Major Depression for the past 4 years and it has manifested itself throughout that period in many ways, photography included."
Hopkins was ready to delete these photos when his close friend said no and posted them on Reddit. Beautiful captivating work. Flawless editing and a great coping/depicting of mental illness. 

Close has been one of my favorite artist's since my first trip to the Art Museum. Portraits interest me the most, no matter what medium. I recently found out that Chuck's work will be in the new Vanity Fair Hollywood Edition. I was very confused at first because I thought it was mostly photography based. Well, he's the fucking guest artist and he's taking photos. It could be love.

Here's the Vanity Fair interview with Close talking about his process, subjects, lack of hair/makeup crew, and why he chose the breath taking Polaroid camera.

Taking self portraits or selfies, as we call them today, has become an art form of its own and they are currently my favorite type of photo's going around. I love being able to see how a person sees, presents, and thinks of themselves. I think we all have different idea of how we each look and should look. I recently came across a photoset of selfies taken by David Uzochukwu who is a 15 year old photographer from Luxembourg. 

This is my favorite photo of his set of Self Portraits, he looks so small and vulnerable.
