Paul Sika Photography by Lost At E Minor
Cote d'Ivoire-based photographer Paul Sika created the environments in his wonderfully colorful and vibrant African series using actors and carefully staged sets to convey a powerful sense of social narrative and open the doors of imagination.
The fashion and advertising photographer lets his ideas flow organically, but in the end his photographs are not left to chance. By creating a script and drawing sketches, Silka can develop his concept until it reaches full maturity.
Read a full interview with Silka at Feature Shoot.

Cia de Foto
Highly stylized, poignant and emotional are words that come to mind upon first encounter with Cia de Foto's breathtaking photographs. The São Paulo photo agency has been going strong for more than a few years now but has just launched a blog that shares news on happenings like what exciting project they're doing next or which international photo event they're participating in (for example,...

Insight Clothing: Dopamine Campaign
The Dopamine campaign is the latest from Australian clothing company, Insight, divided into two inspired and highly original photo/film projects: the Surf and the Skate. Redefining "the life aquatic," the Surf Campaign mixes elements of surrealism, 1950s counterculture and a nuclear/grunge aesthetic. Each of Dustin Humphrey's deftly-composed photographs are bisected into different worlds. In one a surfer floats by in the top half while...

Pieter Hugo: The Hyena Men

His images of traditional healers, wild honey collectors, taxi washers, and albinos are strong and beautiful, but my favorite series is The Hyena Men which opened last week at Yossi Milo Gallery in New York. Pieter Hugo created the series The...

Fetish by David Lynch and Christian Louboutin
A perfect example of the strange and creative works that can come out of a collaboration between very different artists is the recent project by the filmmaker David Lynch and the shoe designer Christian Louboutin, both absolute masters of their medium. We discovered "Fetish" at Design Art London where these extraordinary shoes by Louboutin and their erotic photographic counterparts by Lynch were on show...

Olaf Breuning: Color Studies
Part of his recent ongoing Color Studies series, Olaf Breuning's current exhibit in Los Angeles' Michael Benevento Gallery uses sculpture and photography as vehicles for luminous basic colors, offsetting them with deep black and bright white surfaces to striking effect. A multiple-room exhibit, Breuning painted the gallery's first room entirely black, making the photographs depicting bright paint poured onto human figures appear to float...
