Portrait of the Day: Nesting Grounds

Strange, surreal, but so well-executed. Love this crazy but interesting portrait. "Personally, I have a hard time seeing a specific style through my work — I am also okay with that," says Karrah Kobus, the photographer, to Henry Nahurski. Although, I would describe the style I love, and aspire… Continue

A cat and a rainbow. What's not to love? "The photo of Wendy was just a total lucky shot I caught while trying to photograph a rainbow on the wall behind her that the acrylic chair creates," says Kat Miss of For Me, For You. "She turned and yawned just at the right moment. I laughed so hard when I looked down at the photo I had just… Continue

When asked what the story is behind this shot, here is what Alex said, "I got home from work late and was incredibly exhausted. It probably would have been easier just to go to bed, but I didn't want to skip another day of… Continue

Pic of the Day: Mine!

Today's Pic of the Day is by Deviant artist Winter Ghost. It shows what would happen if a giant hand descended from the sky, attempting to take away a strawberry.

The Singapore-based artist shared her process:

"Done on Photoshop CS2, but all you really need is layers, crop tool, eraser, and dropper tool. I took two photos of the picture, one with the strawberry and one without, because i… Continue

There's no doubt that Paris, France-based photo hobbyist Shobrick has a love for toys and cinema. In one of his most recent creations, Stormtroopers mourn over one of their fallen. "I think this is my best yet," he says. "No retouch." Shobrick was inspired by a photo taken by a Sydney, Australia-based photographer. Love Shobrick's attention to detail (in the… Continue

Pic of the Day: Modern Family Portrait

Love this creative idea...a faceless family portrait! It was taken by the self-described "insanely happy interior designer and photographer" Lori Andrews (aka the 10 Cent Designer). Lori took this photo of her clients and then had it blown up very large for the kitchen. Interestingly, since Lori is a photographer and interior designer, she also worked on spiffing up her client's house! For the… Continue

Pic of the Day: Falling in Love

Now this is a creative engagement shot! When undergraduate student Jeremy Blanchard was asked to take engagement photos of his friends, he decided to do something a little different. Instead of taking a boring old photo of two lovebirds wrapped in each other's arms, he made his friends look like ghostly figures walking toward each other, symbolizing them "falling" in love.

"I'm a… Continue
