[I spend a great deal of my time looking at photography these days, and am always running across fantastic photographers whose work I adore. Rather than polluting the Links list with millions of photographer's web sites, I'm going to collect them and occasionally put them together into an "eye candy" post.]
Alex Prager
His The Big Valley series is fascinating; wonderfully retro and yet startling. Desiree, Nancy and also Christine from his Polyester series are among my faves.
Animalia: Photographs by Henry Horenstein
Amazing animal photography, very moody, close, and abstract.
Catherine's Animals
On the other end of the spectrum from Horenstein, these well-lit studio shots with kitchy backgrounds are absolutely colorful and fun and yum how I want these on my wall. The sheep is delish.
David Burdeny
Had the opportunity to see his amazing arctic landscapes in person last month during Contact, and I can tell you they're even more breathtaking in person. Amazing.
Marina Cano
Wonderful animal photography. Her work reminds me of a shooter friend of mine who specializes in animal photography as well.
Mark Rubenstein
I can't tell you why his Once Was series haunts me, but it does. Particularly the last shot in the series.
Phone Sex by Philip Toledano
A new book featuring a series of portraits and mini-interviews with phone sex workers. This was really fascinating stuff, but then I love Toledano. Brilliant photog.
Sarah Wilmer
Haunting and surreal and I totally want her Spiderchest book.
The Fallen
This has been posted everywhere, but in case you missed it: fabulous photos. Bobby Kennedy's funeral train. Folks watching. You'll get the idea; make sure to turn the speakers up to hear the commentary. I can't get a few of these photos (the family all in a line) out of my mind.
Tony Duran: Celebrity
I'm not overly fond of his fashion work, but Duran's celebrity portraits are wonderful.
