Do you remember Irina Werning and her cool project called “Back to The Future” we’ve posted earlier? Well, it appears that Irina hasn’t stopped there and released the part II of her series. A photographer born in Buenos Aires takes someone’s old photo and recreates the same old scene with the same person many years later. While it might not sound too complicated, she is unbelievably accurate – it seems that she just found some old and young look-alikes and shot two pictures on the same day.

Canada-based photographer and graphic designer Ulric Collette came up with probably the coolest family photo shoot idea ever. While doing “an image a day” type of project Urlic tried to age his son in Photoshop an accidentally ended up creating his first genetic portrait. It was made by splicing together photographs of himself and his son. The best part is that you can try it yourself! In case your face doesn’t match with your family members, you might also consider experimenting with your neighbors.

I always thought that long exposure photography was overdone to death and not even worth doing. That’s why I have never experimented with it much, but I still wanned to do a little research and make a collection of best Long Exposure Photography Examples. I soon found out that I was wrong. It may be overdone, but good shots are incredibly rare and hard to find (this could also be due to my lack of searching skills). So my advice to you (and even to myself) – don’t be turned off by the fact that everybody does it! Only few guys do it right.

Photographer Terence Chang took these fascinating long exposure photos in the skies above San Francisco International Airport. This is a similar technique as the one we’ve seen in Surreal Skatepark Light Paintings, called light painting in which exposures are made usually at night or in a darkened room by moving a hand-held light source or by moving the camera.

If you are a dog (or look like one) and you’re looking for a photographer, look no further! Carli Davidson is both an internationally recognized award winning photographer and an experienced animal trainer and caretaker. For her series “Shake“, Carli photographed dogs shaking off water to create distorted expressions like half-grimace, half-smiles that are familiar to many dog owners, but when caught on camera, the dogs look incredibly strange and funny.

Minimiam (meaning “Mini Yum”) is a creative union of husband and wife who create fascinating worlds of food with their little people doing their little chores here. Akiko Ida is Japanese and Pierre Javelle is French. They met studying photography at the Paris “Arts Decoratifs” art school.

Have you ever seen a photo move? Two creative artists – a photographer Jamie Beck and a motion graphics designer artist Kevin Burg have created a new way of capturing images – pictures with movement, or so-called cinemagraphs.

If you remember “Pencil versus Camera” project by Ben Heine then this is something really similar, however this time Jason Powell allows us to look into the past. Images are made by finding old photographs of places, printing them out, and then holding the print up in the modern day location that the original photograph was taken.

Some may argue, but one of the hardest things in life is is actually choosing a gift for someone you care. A good way to start is probably by trying to remember what that person likes doing, what his passion and hobbies are. Today, when almost everyone has a DSLR, and “[put a name]photography.com” website, you probably can’t go wrong with a gift related to photography. That’s why we want to show you these 20 cool and creative gadgets for photography lovers – hope you’ll find what you’re looking for.

We’ve already featured a huge collection of breathtaking bird photos by John&Fish about a year ago, however our number of subscribers has grown seven-fold from that time, so most of you guys probably haven’t had a chance to see it. John&Fish is one of the most popular ornithology photography teams around Flickr, and we are more than happy to share their incredible bird photographs with you.

Don’t know about you guys, but we just love looking at things really close up! So, we are very excited to introduce you to an Armenian physics teacher Suren Manvelyan who used his friends, colleagues and pupils as models to make amazing close-ups of the human eye. He never thought he would see anything like that – when viewed really close up our eyes look like some dramatic surfaces of far and unknown planets. You have to see it!

Alexa Meade seems to be really busy faking new paintings, so we thought it’s time to update our previous collection of her Fake Painting Photographs. As we’ve already mentioned in our previous article, what you are about to see, are not paintings on canvas! Alexa Meade paints with acrylics directly on human flesh creating the illusion of painterly portraits.
