Anamorphic Portrait by Bernard Pras

French Artist Bernard Pras recreates well-known images and icons out of specifically chosen found objects, arranged in a specific form. Pras sets up his camera at a well-defined angle so that the objects themselves merge and a portrait appears. Pras has created photos of personalities such as Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Che Guevara, Mao Zedong and pop culture icons like Porn star Lolo and martial arts master Bruce Lee. His inspiration also includes fine art like well-known paintings by masters like Guiseppe Arcimboldo, Edvard Munch, Salvador Dali, and Japanese woodcut artist Hiroshige. Bernard Pras was born in 1952 in the south-west of France. After more than 20 years spent as a painter, and also a sculptor of recovered objects, Pras conceived in 1997, this astonishing form of expression, using photography as a basis for the creation of what amounts to a form of installation art.

Street Art in Lodz, Poland

Over the last few years, the Polish city of Lodz, is slowly transforming into a permanent exhibition of street art in public spaces. It started in 2009, whenUrban Forms Foundation was formed. The foundation proposed a plan to the city council to saturate the cityscape with creative murals that would improve the current image of Lodz giving it a truly artistic and original value. The basic idea is to create large paintings directly on the facades of buildings in the city center by prominent artists from around the world. With the support of Mayor Hanna Zdanowska and the Ambassador of Spain in Poland, the foundation roped in the finest street artists including Aryz, M-City, Remed, Chazme, Sepe, SatOne, Etam Crew, and Kenor. There are already 21 murals scattered around the city that can all be viewed in a few hours of walking and exploring.

“People who are living in this city are thinking that Lodz is generally dirty, grey, destructed and neglected”, says Michal Biezynski, the director of Urban Forms Foundation. “This kind of project brings something new for the city aesthetic, new artistic quality which is trying to change the everyday image of the city. We’re the only artistic project co-financed by the city which leaves it’s permanent mark in the public space in Lodz.”

New Age Photography by Photojournalists under 25

As professional and amateur cameras reveal more of the world at an increasingly rapid pace, the field of photojournalism is becoming a harder place to make a living. Yet many young photographers are pursuing careers as visual storytellers, despite a market in transition. Some study the craft at universities, others carve their own path. While building their portfolios, they have the luxury of time to explore intimate stories about relevant issues and develop a personal vision. Without the pressures of the 24-hour news cycle, these photographers are learning to make images that shout rather than whisper. Covering issues near and far, often out-of-pocket and on their own time, they posses a deep affection for people and a common goal of building a better understanding of our world. The future of photojournalism may be uncertain, but this generation of photographers will have a hand in writing the new rulebook. The following are images from students of photojournalism and photographers aged 25 and under. The featured images are peak moments captured through eager eyes, personal visions, or intimate glimpses into long-term projects about topics that matter to the photographers and their community.

Artist turns guns into musical instruments

Mexican sculptor Pedro Reyes poses behind an instrument that mimics the sound of a basS guitar, made from seized guns, at his workshop in Mexico City, Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2013. The guns that have caused so many deaths in northern Mexico are transformed into musical instruments by Reyes. “It's important to consider that many lives were taken with these weapons, as if a sort of exorcism was taking place,” says Reyes in a description of his project titled, "Disarm." The Mexican artist said he was able to choose his instruments from about 6,700 guns that were turned in or seized by the army and police in Ciudad Juarez, a city of about 1.3 million people that averaged about 10 killings a day at the height of the violence.

Pictures of Bottle Caps

American artist began painting at the age of thirty years and is a self-taught. Almost ten years have seen a case, which defined the main direction of her work for years to come. Molly Bee Wright (Molly B. Right) was born in North Carolina, but in the age of six moved to Charleston in South Carolina. Live and work here so far. One day, Molly drew the attention of the rusting iron sheet. The artist decided to use it to create a picture, but as a halo for copies of the "Shroud of Turin," she decided to use the bottle caps. The idea is very pleased and the next year Molly has created several works consisting entirely of covers. On one such artist in mosaic leaves from three to seven thousand caps. The average size of works ranging from 2 to 4 square meters, and weight (with sheet iron-base) is not less than 50 kg.
