Photography: harbinger of the apocalypse, calcified caped dove by Nick Brandt.

Nick Brandt  is probably best known for his wonderfully developed photographs of the wild animals of Africa caught in a state of existence (rather than action shots of them splashing through water or diving dramatically through the sky). However this image struck me as iconic of something beyond wildlife photography.  It could be an icon [...]

Photography ¦ Evolution, an image by Sydney based photographer Jonathan May

A leash must be worn at all times . This photo of a dog walking a woman on a leash is one of many surreal, quirky and playful images created by Sydney based photographer Jonathan May.  As some folks pamper their pets more than their partners, it could be construed as a future glimpse of [...]

Cyberpunk Photography and Fashion: Icon by Terrorcat

Part of a series of images from the liquid metal, carbo-plastic, hydrogel and permacrete core of visual creators on the Internet.  Images that stir my senses and evoke plots and concepts for what I’d like to see (or fear) in the future. Another simple yet striking image by Terrorcat. A fusion of industrial club culture [...]

Photography: Private Moon by Boris Bendikov and Leonid Tishkov

Photography: a touch of silver and cyanide from the old world and a glimpse of the strange future

Esoteric meets Cyberpunk Here’s two images from Igor Vasiliadis (a photographer based in Moscow) that define the broad scope of his talents. The first image is steeped in old-world atmosphere and could be something from the realm of Brian Lumley’s Necroscope Wamphyri series – a Sunsider snapped in a rare moment of candour before night [...]

Photography ¦ Capturing the essence of Gothic Horror – Carpathian Mountains by Sorin Onisor

Part of a series of images from the shadowy fringes of the Internet.  Visuals that stir my sense for the eerie and macabre. What a wildly evocative photograph.

Photography ¦ submission and sex games – the naked skill of Igor Vasiliadis

This is a great image from the highly accomplished and experimental Moscow based photographer Igor Vasiliadis.  It immediately weaves some stark and intriguing story possibilities into your mind; sex games and the roles of sub, dom and voyeur.  Of course, it could equally plunge a little further into the realm of dark art if you [...]

Dark Art ¦ woman in the throes of metaphysical change – photography by Sofia Ajram

Part of a series of images from the shadowy fringes of the Internet.  Visuals that stir my sense for the eerie and macabre.

Photography: beauty defined through the dust and paint smeared vision of Alexander Straulino

There is something very engaging about this image. A beautiful face, classical, almost angelic in aspect – and yet smudged with wet, sticky paint.  It doesn’t create a unique edgy fashion statement that could be adopted by some future Cyberpunk.  It doesn’t add anything to her appearance; and yet it doesn’t take anything away.  It [...]

Photography ¦ Stunning underwater imagery by Elena Kalis – Alice in Wonderland, Drowning Ballerina and Goddess Mother of Creation Nyx

Elena Kalis is a Russian born photographer now working off the coast of Florida.  Controlling the lighting and capturing skin tone and expressions that are void of  air bubbles and bloated faces, or genuinely ethereal and interesting – rather than looking like somebody plonked into a diving pool – seems to be a great skill [...]

Photography ¦ light painting by Dennis Calvert conjures up images of Occult or Cthulhu Mythos sorcerers and Road Mages in Yellow Dawn

Photography ¦ The End of Business – old man with a double-barrel shotgun, by Danielle Tunstall

Another classic image from the very talented Danielle Tunstall.  I like this because it encapsulates the one of two very stark choices: either it’s a direct warning, back off, get lost, leave now, where the choice is the old man allowing you to leave and live, or, this is the final thing you see before [...]

Photography ¦ Medieval Fantasy and Coruscations of Cartier Dragons – Peter Lippmann via Chicquero

This is an image I received as one of them many gems of eye-candy sent out to subscribers of the beautiful and often surreal Chicquero site. It’s a piece of work by Peter Lippmann.  I like it because of the blurred blend between fantasy and future. This could be an image from the medieval age [...]
