Kirsky Mitchell "Gaia" from the "Wonderland" Series

I've showcased Kirsty Mitchell's "Wonderland" series before, it is finally finished after 74 amazing photos. I'm picking out some of my favorites to share...

Gaia is not only a standout, but Kirsty kept a diary of why she made the choices and how she set the shot up. The video below shows prepping the model and layering on the costume for the photo shoot.

Neon Luminescence from The LenzBy Sean Lenz and Kristoffer Abildgaard

Waterfalls, glow sticks, long exposure photography. How could that NOT be cool? Sean Lenz and Kristoffer Abildgaard had created some really gorgeous photographs using just that technique!

I found the greens and blues more compelling visually, maybe because red and yellow are danger colors and those tend to set off unconscious alarms? The blues and greens seem more artistic and calming.

What do you think?

Fairies of the Forest - Art Photography by Yume Cyan

I found this via a new favorite blog, Laughingsquid.

I had never seen Fireflies until I moved to New York as an adult (Fireflies don't appreciate Alaska!) I remember being out on a date one late summer night near the edge of a forest and being enchanted by seeing them for the first time. So, this series of long exposure photographs by Yume Cyan brought back a smile and a fond memory.

I hope it does for you as well.

Ah, do we have a treat for your eyes today. These lovelies are created by the team of Yasmina Alaoui & Marco Guerra. Marco shoots the nude models in black and white, then Yasmina overlays them with her stunning Arabic Henna patterns.

The results are breathtaking.

Art Photography - Pol Tergejst

Some photography eye candy from photographer Pol Tergejst to start off 2013 - these images were composed by the artist using flame shapes combined with burnt matches.

I love the idea of using the natural shapes created by flames and smoke as components of art. Genius.

Art Photography by Andoni Aleman

One of these crossed my visual sphere the other day and I was just blown away with art-love at first sight.

Photographer Andoni Aleman has a whole slideshow that's worth a few minutes of your time, very talented! I specifically love this series, called Zuhaitz.

Art Photography - Markus Reugels

Today my eye was caught by these stunning photographs of the collision of water droplets in contrasting colors from German photographer Markus Reugels.

A quote from the artist, “I want to manage one genre very good and not many half-hearted" is one that a lot of people (like myself) could probably adopt to our betterment.

Art Photography - Jean Berard

Eye candy for today, some art photography from Jean Bérard. I love that these show the motion of liquid OUTSIDE the container, rather than in it.

Stunning work!

Art Photography - Lee Eunyeol, Gana Art Space

Eye candy for a Monday morning. These lovlies are by photographer Lee Eunyeol and being featured currently at the Gana Art Space in Seoul. The collection is titled "Starry Night" appropriately enough.

I love these not just because they have an ethereal fairy-like quality to them, but they bring out elements in the landscape that you wouldn't notice in falling light.

Another project I would do with big piles of money: a night lighting garden. How wonderful would something like that be? Grab a glass of wine and wander through a beautifully lit garden at night. Sigh.

Art Photography - Alexandre Deschaumes

I've been falling down on the job of blogging, haven't I? Eye candy for today in the form of stunning art photography from French photographer Alexandre Deschaumes.

I love his eye for natural beauty and texture. Especially something as simple as water droplets on a leaf.
