Stephanie Price Presents Jenni Tapanila

Jenni Tapanila is a photographer from Istanbul, Turkey. Her work is grotesque, blunt and straight to the point. She takes a basic photograph of a man and writes something personal on his chest. I think its a great play on an overdone theme. I love the photograph with the needle in the tongue a lot of her work is similar to this she loves gore and theatrics.

Stephanie Price Presents Akif Hakan Celebi

Akif Hakan Celebi is a Hong Kong based photographer, working mostly in nudes but also some fashion work. I came across this artist a couple of years ago on Deviantart. His nudes are no where near traditional, he is constantly placing woman in strange positions almost taking the sexiness out of the nude itself. But he shows these woman with powerful glances somehow taking control of the image. I like his work because it plays on the balance of power between the woman and the photographer. Not to mention beautifully shot.

Stephanie Price Presents Emil Schildt

I came across Emil Schildt while reaserching for my alternative processes class. This artist experiments with tons of alternative processes such as cynontypes, liquid light, and photopolymergravure. Mostly presents nudes and likes to experiment with ruining the negative, giving his photographs an almost painterly effect.

Stephanie Price presents Sue Anna Joe

I came across Sue Anna Joe a couple of years ago on DeviantArt, her work to me is beautifully crafted. She is a Malaysian based photographer, mostly she creates portraits and her self portraits are striking. My favorite thing about this artist is her ability to go from one extreme to another, she can have something so beautiful but still emotional or sinister and sickening.

Stephanie Price presents Joey Gidseg

Joey Gidseg is an Austin, Tx based photographer. Although a lot of her photographs are of the local flavor of Austin, in her series, Hymie and Louise, she shows an intense reality most people are scared to approach. She portrays an older couple and how they deal with the day to day of growing older and sickly. These are not only beautiful photographs, they say something about a fear we all have : Are we going to be alone when we can no longer able to fend for ourselves? Or will Hymie be there to take care of us?

Stephanie Price Presents Lee Friedlander

Lee Friedlander is an american artist, creating somewhat simple compositions while attempting to play on the obvious, he shoots an ordinary traffic scene but cuts the dog in half. Or he takes pictures of an event but instead of the actual event he shows people taking pictures of said event. He likes to play around with what a traditional photograph can show in a humorous way, well at least humorous to me.

Brianna Cristiano submits Eyal Landseman

http://eyalland.com/ - check out more stop motion

Eyal Landseman is a well known stop motion photographer. Landseman is most famous for the music video Her Morning Elegance but has other work worth checking out. Landseman's stop motion videos are what also inspired me for my final work. Mine is not as smooth as Eyal's but it was the same idea of creating a video soley based on photographs. It is something I would like to explore more.
