Today, we just happened to come across this stunning image by photographer Christopher Wilson. Doesn't it just stop you in your tracks? What a beauty. "Christopher recently photographed a 1928 BMW 328 for BMW Germany," it says on Wilson's blog. "Impeccably restored and now worth close to a million dollars, Christopher and crew shot this legendary, most-sought-after of sports cars - the car that defined BMW as the Ultimate Driving Machine - in a studio in Los Angeles. It was wunderbar to say th...

Now showing at ClampArt gallery in New York is Jill Greenberg's beautifully riveting series Glass Ceiling. While Greenberg is known for her incredible portraiture that includes crying babies, A-list celebrities or even cute and cuddly bears, she's equally adept at taking her camera off land and under water. Back in 2008, Greenberg was commissioned to shoot a commercial fashion spread with the US Olympic Synchronized Swim Team, which asked the ladies to wear high heels. Struck by the absurdity...

Paige Bradley created one of the most striking sculptures I've seen in recent times. Her masterpiece, entitled Expansion, is a beautiful woman seeking inner piece but fractured and bleeding with light. "From the moment we are born, the world tends to have a container already built for us to fit inside: a social security number, a gender, a race, a profession," says Bradley. "I ponder if we are more defined by the container we are in than what we are inside. Would we recognize ourselves if we c...

While Matilde Berk has only been a wedding photographer for the past two years, she's already on top of a growing trend. For years, the Lisbon, Portugal-based photographer shot landscapes. It was only after she realized just how much she enjoyed photographing people that she dove into commercial portraiture. One day, out of the blue, Berk started a creative series about "trashing" wedding dresses. This became her turning point. "After doing some research, I found the Trash the Dress sessions...

One of my very favorite photographers, Tim Walker, is back with another fanciful feast for the eyes! The new editorial, title Lady Gray, looks like it was inspired by the movie of the moment, Alice in Wonderland. Set in what seems like an old, abandoned mansion, models Stella Tennant and Imogen Morris Clarke pose gracefully around ladders and drapes. Lovely. Lady Gray can be found in Vogue Italia's March 2010 issue. ...

Who doesn’t love fanciful art? As a perfect mix of fun and creativity, photographer Klaus Enrique Gerdes creates a series of portraits made of fruits, flowers, and vegetables. "I had been working on a photography series in which I surrounded an isolated human body part with a large quantity of a certain object, when I was struck by the idea for this project," he told PDN. "While I was photographing a human eye that was peeking out amongst hundreds of leaves, it occurred to me that I could act...

While Tim Walker will always amaze us with his magical photography that's filled with fabulous costumes and dreamy sets, we have been aching to see his work truly come alive. Lucky for us, Walker recently turned his attention to filmmaking. Scheduled to show at film festivals worldwide, The Lost Explorer is a coming of age story which centers around a young girl named Evelyn who finds a sick and weary explorer camping at the bottom of her garden. This new friend has a case of malaria and grips...

Chinese contemporary artist Liu Bolin is a genius when it comes to street art. He's known as a modern-day magician who camouflages himself (usually with the help of assistants) so that his whole body seamlessly blends into the background. Wooster Collective was fortunate enough to bring Bolin to the streets of New York City for a series of live outdoor performances, paintings and photographs. If you love it when you see two artists collaborating, does Wooster have a treat for you. Street artis...
