Using acrylic, ink, Flashe, marker, and spray paint, Vancouver-based Ben Tour has scared children with his artwork. Perhaps it's because of the unusually attractive, yet morbid expressions on his female subjects. Using splashes of color to convey outbursts of emotion, Tour uses his characters as an outlet for his own emotions.…
It's almost like Moscow-based Mecuro B. Cotto was listening to romantic music when taking these photographs. His models display such emotion with their body language and long lines. Here are some great shots from his portfolio.…

I bet countless teenage boys around the world are jealous of American photographer, Houser. Using both black and white and color photography, Houser accentuates the beauty of women with vivid clarity. I get the sense that he knows what he wants in every photograph, given the bold look of his models.
Houser's deviantART portfolio
