The World Reflected Through Soap Bubbles

April 29th, 2013

Photographer Richard Heeks skillfully captures the reflections of images on bubbles that he creates.

He has also managed to capture other bubble-related photographic feats, including the precise moment a bubble bursts and the easily-missed moments of bubbles bursting within other bubbles.

Heeks mentioned that his inspiration stems from the cult 1982 movie, ‘Blade Runner’ by Ridley Scott, which featured a close-up shot of a landscape reflected in an eye.

With regard to his photographic methods, Heeks commented that he tends to “use the sun or bright buildings for light,” and “dark and shadowed or secluded areas for a dark background.” Notably, he also loves “relying on nature” as he feels that “the best shots tend to be natural.”

Long Exposure Neon Waterfalls

April 27th, 2013

Like a freak midnight rainbow, this ongoing series of lit waterfalls titled Neon Luminance is part of a collaboration between Sean Lenz and Kristoffer Abildgaard over at From the Lenz. The duo dropped high-powered Cyalume glow sticks in a variety of colors into various waterfalls in Northern California and then made exposures varying from 30 seconds to 7 minutes to capture the submerged trails of light as the sticks moved through the current. To accomplish some of the more complicated shots they strung several sticks together at once to create different patterns of illumination. For those of you concerned about pollution, the sticks (which are buoyant) were never opened and were collected at the end of each exposure, thus no toxic goo was mixed into the water. See more from the project on their website.

Bottoms Up

April 27th, 2013

French graphic artist Romain Jacquet-Lagreze has created a stunning photo series—entitled ‘Vertical Horizon’—that provides an unusual perspective from which to view the ever-growing metropolis of Hong Kong.

Shooting from between the towering buildings in the Chinese city, these pictures give the viewer a sense of being dwarfed on all sides by monumental structures.

Diving deep into the city’s concrete jungle, the series showcases a diverse range of Hong Kong’s buildings, from congested public housing to glamorous glass-clad offices.

Street Artists Descend Upon Closed Parisian Nightclub

April 25th, 2013

Built as a municipal bathhouse in the late 19th century, Les Bains-Douches would eventually become one of the hottest night clubs in Paris known simply as Les Bains, a destination for the likes of Kate Moss, Mick Jagger, Johnny Depp and even Andy Warhol. Due to some faulty construction in 2010 the building was declared a safety hazard and is now slated for complete renovation in just a few days to pave way for La Société des Bains, a new space that will open in 2014. In the meantime, owner Jean-Pierre Marois turned over the building to 50 street artists commissioned by Magda Danysz Gallery who have been working since January to turn the decaying building into an endless canvas of artwork.

While the entire space will unfortunately remain closed to the public, photographers Stephane Bisseuil and Jérôme Coton were allowed in to shoot many of the artworks in progress. Above is just a small selection, head over to Les Bains “One Day One Artist” page to see much more.

Laser Forest by Marshmallow Laser Feast

April 25th, 2013

Laser Forest is the lastest creation from a creative studio known as Marshmallow Laser Feast comprised of Memo Akten, Robin McNicholas, and Barney Steel who have focused almost exclusively on creating interactive experiences over the past two years. This latest installation involves a forest of 150 interactive rods installed in an empty factory space that when touched trigger both light and audio cues, effectively creating a large interactive instrument. Laser Forest was commission for the STRP Biennale in Eindhoven last month, and you can learn much more about at the Creators Project.

Smeared Sky by Matt Molloy

April 24th, 2013

As the sun slowly but surely sets and clouds move along, each time Ontario, Canada-based photographer Matt Molloy points his camera up to capture the sky, he takes hundreds of pictures at a go.

His ‘Smeared Sky’ series is an experiment with time-lapse sequences, and is created by digitally stacking 100 to 200 photographs—to reveal that the blue yonder isn’t always blue in his picturesque, painting-like photographs.

The “timestack” technique brings about brush stroke effects, caused by moving cloudscapes, to make it seem like the sky is smeared.

“Sometimes the clouds are moving quick and there’s lots of them. If I stack too many photos from a timelapse like that, it can get a little messy,” Molloy told Bored Panda.
