A couple of months ago PforPHOTO featured the fantastic beard series by Joseph Daniel Robert Oleary. The series’ called Of beards and Men. He just launched a Kickstarter to make a fine art book of all the incredible portraits. He made 130+ photos. So plenty of masculine hairiness to explore.
Check out the video below and head to Kickstarter to help Joseph reach his goal.
And, of course, check out his website: www.ofbeardsandmen.com
Photography has long surpassed the field of merely capturing reality. Ever since Man Ray, artist have used the camera like a painter uses his brush. What we see is never truly what is really going on. Take the work of Edwin Zwakman. This Dutch visual artist creates scenes, inspired by real life, and reconstructs them by memory in his studio. Landscape photography with the control of studio photography. The result is amazing. Life like scenes of what seems to be ordinary Dutch places. Perhaps a take on Dutch constructed landscapes. Every inch of it designed and thought of in an office. Controlled like Edwin does in his studio. Manipulation on a wide scale.
