Brighton graduate Daisy Gam has drawn a series of images on 50's erotica, among other things. Her illustrations are really impressive, and the content is brave and of a slightly uncomfortable nature, considering her gender. Perhaps. See more on her website.
David Smeulders has been obsessed with photography all his life, and decided to start making his own cameras. Some of the results are really quite intriguing, such as the above image. His website: http://www.koudzweet.nl/
No CGI, just a lot of time consuming video in studio...
Video director David Wilson had the following to say on the use of entirely manual techniques:
"...what you can achieve in CGI is mind-bendingly realistic. However, I really enjoy the challenge of working physically. I love the aesthetic, but I also really enjoy the energy it creates on set."
These photos were hung on the wall in our first hostel in Split, Croatia. I think the way they are hung so casually on string and clothes clips is great - so low key but it works nicely with the relaxed theme of the photos, which are photographed such that they appear more flat, almost painterly. The style and colouring give them a peaceful glow. Unknown photographer, unfortunately.
