High Speed Liquid and Bubbles

11/04/2011 by chicquero

Bubbly Art  German photographer Heinz Maier created a fabulous technique of high-speed photography, shooting colorful liquids. That´s a pretty neat job considering that he began taking photographs less than a year ago in late 2010. He is focusing in experimenting macro photography, mostly insects, animals, and these superb high-speed water droplets. These photographs/sculptures are simply outstanding. Take a look at the colors, lighting, and the reflection of water, it’s hard to believe these aren’t digital. Keep it up, we love it! Check it […]

Stone the crows!

10/29/2011 by chicquero

“Every so often a shoot will come out to remind us that Lara Stone is impossible. The sort of impossible that defies nature, goes against the laws of physics, and leaves us scratching our heads in dismay. If you wondered what might happen to the trend of nudity in fashion then this shoot for Interview may at least set those questions to rest, for as long as there is Lara the trend is not going to go away.” And should […]

Dusting off the archive.

10/17/2011 by chicquero

So Vogue US decided to select some great remarkable imagery from their archives and bring it back to life. There are images from the early 90´s passing through the years until these days! It´s called “Extreme Beauty in Vogue“. Really, really nice idea and amazing pictures!  “What exactly defines beauty? Does the answer lie, as some have suggested, in perfect symmetry? Or perhaps in possessing exotic features? Is today’s perception of beauty something that is completely natural or dramatically manufactured? And is it truly […]

  Sydney International Food Festival, presented by Citi, was launched in October 2009, a celebration of the Sydney food scene. The event combined cooking demonstrations, talks and tastings with top chefs from Sydney and around the world. Great campaign, I love that they were able to get the essence of each country and translate that into a beautifully designed dish.

Food of the rainbow! Henry Hargreaves‘ was the pin-up boy for such revered fashion houses as Prada, YSL, Jil Sander and others and worked with the top photographers in the game. Four years ago, Hargreaves settled in New York and began work out of his studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn shooting fashion and still life for great fashion clients. This work is from his Food of the Rainbow series which was styled by Lisa Edsalv. I’m quite impressed by his rainbow dishes, not sure if […]

What can we say?… Miles Aldridge is absolutely fabulous! He is such an icon of contemporary photography. With his surrealism and love of saturated colours, he has collaborated in great great shape to this editorial Bang-Bang for Número Magazine.

Variety is the spice of life!

10/03/2011 by chicquero

It´s so inspiring when you face different ways to express the art you have inside your heart… in particular, this project “Couples” by Nacho Rojo from Madrid, Spain. I could not find out if it´s one single artist or a group of artists working with art direction, illustration and photography. Anyways, creating characters according to the huge diversity of people in this freaking globe is something very eye-catching and really makes me wonder in which tribe I should include myself… and also it´s so cool to […]

Freak Love Triangle is a series created by british photographer Madame Peripetie for Umbigo Magazine Portugal. Her work is extremely creative and surreal, the way she incorporates some random elements to her art is quite amazing and it makes perfect sense when it´s done! It really takes you to the reality that she wants to show, it´s so believable!   Are you wondering who is the third part of the triangle… let your imagination flows… “Magnificent art happens when you truly believe in what […]

Art in Paper, Paper in Art!

09/28/2011 by chicquero

Jennifer Collier, art in paper. Jennifer practice focuses on creating work from paper; by bonding, waxing, trapping and stitching.  She produces unusual paper ‘fabrics’, which are used to explore the ‘remaking’ of household objects. The papers are treated as if cloth, with the main technique employed being stitch; a contemporary twist on traditional textiles. The papers themselves serve as both the inspiration and the media for her work, with the narrative of the books and papers suggesting the forms. I love […]

Bhatti… we have to say that you without a doubt, delighted us with this beautiful, kinda edgy and vintage series. I love the model looking quite clueless to the little bug… Mansoor A.

Pughatory by Madame Peripetie

British photographer Madame Peripetie really knows how to think outside the box! It´s surreal the way she brings up some strange elements to her work, that apparently doesn´t make any sense, but when she puts it all together it flows beautifully with its uniqueness and it turns out amazing! The name of this series is Pughatory and I think it gives you the chance to play with your mind in terms of interpretations. Wow, if this is how she imagines “purgatory” we […]

It´s not the first time we post Paco Peregrin´s work. He is such an extraordinary photographer, from Spain, that we can´t get enough… specially when he pairs with Kattaca styles. What else can we say but it blows our minds bigtime! We think Paco is very ecletic in terms of his work, if you look at his portfolio you will see a variety of fashion, portaits and couture styles that he shoots with excellence. This editorial was shot for White Sposa, italian magazine […]
