Jamie Nelson is rather interesting photographer. Her work is pretty similar to most fashion photographers, but I really appreciate her understanding of color and her rather eccentric visions. Not to mention her makeup artist is remarkable. Large gallery after the jump.

Alexandros Vasmoulakis is a very fascinating Greek artist I recently came across.
The revolution begins from within. Deviating Greece’s political inanity Alexandros Vasmoulakis introduces his individuals, as he refers to his figures, in a massive, dark and white, melting party. “Individual means indivisible”, says Vasmoulakis, “any singular thing, the basic unit, subject or object, the one who suffers or the one who hurts, a bachelor or the couple among strangers, any specific object in a collection”. Yet individuals interweave in front of Vasmoulakis’s eyes in an unforeseen way.
His present work culls from faces and sentiments. Wide-open colorful eyes, shattered bodies, at [...]

Lothar Wolleh (1930 -1979) was one of Germany’s most successful commercial photographers. He has endured as one of my most favorite photographers ever since I picked up a camera.

Once you find your way past the beautiful symmetry and composition in Lothar’s images, you’ll find yourself asking more about the photographer and less about the amazing people he’s photographing. There’s certainly something undefinable about Lothar; [...]

Ah, Mr. Veltman. I wrote an essay in college on Olaf Veltman’s award winning  “Deal With the Devil/Reassuringly Expensive” campaign for Stella Artois (the idea being that Stella is worth it’s higher price of admission, even if that price is your soul). I guess that was back during the summer of 2005. He’s a very curious and rather reclusive photographer, having isolated himself on a remote farm near the small Netherlands town of Lieveren. He is primarily a commercial photographer working in advertising.
