After seeing how tilt-shift photography could make real world scenes appear like miniature models, Serena Malyon, a third-year art student, decided to simulate the effect on Van Gogh's famous paintings.

New York-based photographer Mike Schreiber will soon be releasing a new book called True Hip Hop. It's a collection of photos that he's taken over an 11 year period that includes some of the biggest names in the hip hop scene. He shoots mostly in black and white, capturing a raw and real side to them that we don't often get to see.
This gold plated chopper looks like a fierce jungle cat about to pounce. Conceptualized by Swedish designer Mikael Lugnegård, the “Seraphim” would be the perfect vehicle for a fantasy-based action movie. The motorcycle was modeled using Maya, and rendered with Hypershot.…

At first glance, you probably wouldn't assume that this structure designed by Thomas Phifer + Partners is a house. In fact, you may even mistake it for Sydney's very famous opera house.

I never knew that slow motion could have such a tranquil effect. Oton Bačar shot his friend doing BMX tricks and then drastically slowed down the footage. The result is fantastic.
"7D slow motion test footage of my friend doing bmx tricks. Everything was shot in 720p 60fps. Edited with Twixtor in After Effects."

Even after his death, the family carefully preserved these works by keeping them in a bank vault. Now the Williams estate is… Continue
