Eva Besnyö’s sensitive images

We’ve already introduced you to the ‘grande dame of Dutch photography’, one of those women for whom photography is not just a job but a form of emancipation. Here is a more detailed presentation of her work. (For the language enthusiast, as the commentary is in German with French sub-titles, but the images speak for themselves!)

Video painting is born

Staggering demonstration of painting on the walls of various European capitals with video! To achieve this feat the roll of film interacts virtually with the projector and a computer programme. Very impressive.

3D mermaids

Film of a lenticular 3D photo shoot. Doubly original, the film is shot under water and the subjects are diaphanous naked creatures that could easily be associated with mermaids…..but for the tail. A project by artist Jeffrey Robb.

With coloured pigments suspended in water photographer Mark Mawson makes phenomenal abstract compositions.

Joe McNally’s eye

Legendary photographer Joe McNally is invited by Scott Kelby to critique some anonymous photos. His clairvoyance is spectacular and full of lessons. It’s clear that a set of well-developed critical faculties is a distinct asset to the budding photographer.
