Thomas Barbey

The inspiration for Thomas Barbey work comes from many years of traveling all over the world, everyday life, and from some of his favorite artists, such as Rene Magritte, M.C. Escher or Roger Dean. Thomas bring his Mamiya RB 67 or several old Canon AE-1s wherever they go to shoot his photographs. The process of his montage starts with concept. It is then followed by the exposure and selection of the negatives. The design is then created by carefully choosing printing procedures as combination printing; sandwiching negatives together; thereby printing them simultaneously; pre-planned double exposure in the camera; the re-photographing of collaged photographs; and/or a combination of the above. He sometimes retouch and/or airbrush the collages before re-photographing them from above with a special contraption to hold the camera in place. Thomas then make a master negative to make a limited edition of prints. Although constantly asked about how He do them, Thomas would like to think that the pictures can be appreciated without any real knowledge of their technical virtuosity. The visionary inspiration and imagination is not a technical skill learned in school but rather to his personal belief, a gift from God. This is the only way Thomas Barbey can explain the source of any idea He may have during the creation process.

Joanna DrazekWhen Joanna Drazek was younger She was proposed to have a photo session for a teen magazine. She didn’t like the photos, which were taken then by the photographer.

Probably that was his first step of photography adventure. It began uninteresting, but the passion evolved soon.

Thomas Shahan aka Opo TerserToday Photo Slaves represent You amazing insects’ portraits by Thomas Shahan or better knowen in on-line as Opo Terser. After experimenting around with various ways of taking high magnification macros, Thomas realized that nothing man-made is really all that exciting up close. He realized pretty quickly that bugs were one of the only things worth the effort. Nothing compares to the complexity, color, and intricate detail of arthropods up-close. Also, there is a seemingly infinite number of subjects when it comes to bugs.

David BurdenyDavid Burdeny born 1968 in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. David Burdeny has degrees in both Interior design and a Masters in Architecture.  At the age of 12, David started to photograph the prairie landscape and make his own black and white prints in a makeshift darkroom that also served as his bedroom closet. Primarily self taught, his architecture and design background greatly influences his penchant for simple exacting photographs of sky, horizon and the marks humankind leaves behind. Influenced stylistically by photographers before him, such as Michael Kenna and Hiroshi Sugimoto, David purposefully photographs in poor light and near darkness.

X-RAY photoart by Nick Veasey

Jan. 13th, 2009 | 11:08 pm

Originally published at Photo Slaves. Please leave any comments there.

Nick VeaseyIn a world obsessed with superficial image it is a refreshing contrast to look beyond the surface and appreciate the stuff that surrounds us for what it is made of, not just what it looks like on the outside. English artist Nick Veasey uses x-ray technology to peel back the layers and peer inside all manner of subjects: people, objects, natural forms and animals. The work has an ethereal, otherwordly quality, yet the things he uses to create the pictures are familiar. Nick’s work has won awards in every relevant photographic competition and shown in galleries around the world. These elegant yet unsettling artworks are a perfect example of the fusion between science and art.

Ralph Gibson

Jan. 12th, 2009 | 09:13 pm

Originally published at Photo Slaves. Please leave any comments there.

Ralph GibsonRalph Gibson is a master of dramatic understatement. His high-contrast pictures - usually focusing on one geometric element (the corner of a room) or a single human gesture (the curve of a hand) - form a kind of dream-narrative when gathered together. Or, as Gibson puts it: “I embrace the abstract in photography and exist on a few bits of order extracted from the chaos of reality”. For more than thirty years Ralph Gibson has served as one of the few truly independent forces within the art of photography. His unique graphic style - stark, erotic, chaste, allusive, surreal - is as unmistakable as it is influential. His many published books have shown generations of photographers in the U.S. and Europe that the bound printed page can be as powerful a strategy for artistic success as the gallery exhibition.
