Combining hundreds of landmark snapshots into one ghostly, layered photo.
“Series of photographic works entitled ‘Photo Opportunities’, from hundreds of snapshots of tourist locations found on the Internet. By collecting and then bringing together successive layers of around a hundred similar ‘photo souvenirs’, these images conjure up questions about representation and memory of places.”
Getting people to re-enact old photos. Wonderful.
“I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today… A few months ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.”
"Nick Veasey uses x-ray technology to create mesmerizing and intriguing art. In a world obsessed with superficial appearance it is a refreshing change to be able to look beyond the surface."
Excellent and impressively expansive studies of the human form in space, lead, terra cotta, steel... The "Fields" and "Quantum Clouds" projects are a good place to start, but you could spend hours here.
A huge collection of excellent drawings, realist (and surreal) photography, painting, collages, and more. Good for wasting a few hours and wishing you were cooler.
