Photographer Profiles

Annegien Shilling is a talented artist/photographer from the Netherlands who creates magical self-portraits using nothing more than a good imagination, her own photos, and a few apps on an iPod Touch to create the composites. Her creative results have attracted international acclaim for their simplicity and charm.

Sebastien del Grosso is a Paris-based photographer/graphic designer who is fascinated with Star Wars and super heroes. In his “Le Cosmos de Star Wars" series he uses backlit images of miniature action figures to create striking scenes that appear quite realistic.

Here’s a cool photography trick used to maximum effect. Dennis Stever is a Dubai-based photographer who is shooting an ongoing series where he positions his subjects so that it appears they are playing with the sun and the moon in their hands.

Tonight HBO is airing a documentary you won’t want to miss: “Underfire” is the untold story of Private Tony Vaccaro who was a 21-year-old photographer and infantryman during World War II. Now 93, Vaccaro is finally receiving the long-overdue recognition he deserves.

Amateur photographer Colin Lowe is serious about pinhole photography, and he’s also pretty keen about constructing his own cameras. For this project the Australian made a working, “edible” camera from a potato, a tomato paste can, two 35mm film canisters and a refrigerator magnet.

Toby Harvard calls himself a “fetish photographer” and he takes an unconventional approach to portraiture with his neon-lit images. His vibrant photographs often break the rules of composition, which is one reason his work is so interesting.

California-based photographer/diver Alex Suh is someone you could conservatively describe as “fearless.” He has a passion for the ocean, and as you might suspect from his amazing images, he says he has always been fascinated with sharks—particularly the Great White.
