“What if your photo collection was an entry point into the world, like a wormhole that you could jump through and explore… ”
Sounds like something you’d be interested in? Microsoft thinks so (and after watching the video so do I).
Being able to recreate a scene with a series of photos is nothing new, “photo-stitching” software […]

No, not another street racing game for your Playstation, but a photographic essay on the underground of Japan. From the book “Deep Inside” photographer Joe Nishizawa takes you under with nothing but a 35mm Canon and comes back up with some amazing photos.
pingmag has a great interview with Joe, check it out!

Tired of those $1000 lenses? Why not make your own? Matthew Wheeler is using ice to create his own lenses - with some chilling (sorry…) effects.
While I try not to get water anywhere near my camera, this is definitely a great way to take some creative photos with a twist.
Take a look: Make fire […]

It’s about time someone decided to update the photobooth in a creative way and artist Keetra Dean Dixon did just that:
The booth is presented in semi-public spaces as a typical photobooth holding no denotation of it’s unique qualities. Users enter the booth, pose for 2 shots & exit as usual. During the developing process, the […]

This site is not in English so I’m not really 100% sure what’s going on, but I like how they have this guy’s photo (is it his site?) on every page. It’s oversized and in black & white and brings a stark contrast to the large amounts of whitespace. Each page has a […]

The Scanner Photography Project is a great idea and is home to some great creative photography.
Several years ago, I built my first homemade digital camera. The idea was simple - I would take an ordinary flatbed scanner, and use it in place of photo paper with a large format camera.
My first scanner camera was made […]

I have to admit, I’m a sucker for this kind of art - but being able to see it from start to finish is a great way to show off your skills or is it skillz? ;-). Plastic Kid has a street/grunge/real vs. computer/destruction style that is hard to reproduce and makes everything look like […]

Sometimes great creative photography comes from life itself. This amazing gallery of photos from the World Press Photos of the year is a great example.
World events, disasters, war, sports and other subjects are represented here in color and black and white. Each photo seems to answer the question “what makes a photograph powerful?”.
Take a look: […]

No, not war photography - something a little less dangerous.
Not that the two normally go together, but The Regulars make it work. A creative idea, very well executed - a photoblog of nothing but a mystery man in a gas mask (”A replica Russian gas mask” per the site) in different costumes.
