Remember fold-ins? Popularized by Mad Magazine, a richly illustrated cartoon of one thing would ostensibly turn into something entirely different after folding the page left and back so that "A meets B." Eli Craven employs a similar technique with his project "Screen Lovers," to R-rated effect. The images are taken from a book with the same namewith stills of old Hollywood love scenes. In original form, the pictures might be sensual, but Craven magnifies the sexual undertones of the image by melding different photographs together.
Twilight. Before it had the misfortune of sharing a name with a certain pop culture phenomenon, it was just a term for a time of day. One dictionary defines it as "the soft glowing light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon, caused by the refraction and scattering of the sun's rays from the atmosphere." Anthony Samaniego incorporates that pinkish glow to full effect in his nature photo compositions of Los Angeles. Some feature shifting clouds, ominously making their way over an otherwise static landscape.
Arizona based photographer, Krysta Jabczenski, has the ability to take you to a dreamland through the images she produces. A calm, vacant vibe seems to settle over each scene whether the subject be a beautiful woman, an aging cactus, or a seemingly endless desert.

The movement of colours and shifting…

Oddly Head doesn't take Hollywood too seriously. Iconic movie posters are tartly satirized, the original impact of the images replaced with a sinister tone. Dorothy seeking safe passage to a certain Swedish furniture store. Singing in the rain in a rough part of town. A subjugated Jaws. Oddly Head (not his real namethat would be Tim Fishlock) twists conventional tropes…
