An Australian native, it’s never been difficult for Tran to find strangeness and beauty in his surroundings. The following photograph features Sugar Pine Walk, a nature trail in New South Wales. Tran emphasizes the […]
Here’s a perspective of a natural disaster you don’t see every day. One quick glance at this image and it may resemble skyscrapers pointing upward toward a hole in the sky, similar to a science fiction apocalyptic movie.

There’s something wondrous about seeing the world from above; we’ve all grabbed for our cameras as we’ve gazed out the window of an aircraft: Taken from what appears to be a C-17, this picture of a ship that looks like it’s floating in the clouds, is a result of a very low clouds, probably due […]
Owls are equal parts creepy and cute. Photographer Mac Stone describes them as neurotic. I imagine getting close to them can be difficult because if you aren’t already transfixed by those beady yellow eyes, you should know that owls can be incredibly territorial and don’t take kindly to shutterbugs poking around.

For the most part, the work of Singapore based designer and photographer Josh Andrew Magbanua is bright and whimsical. However, this dark double exposure gives viewers a fresh look into the duplicitous nature of the artist’s mind: Employing impeccable artistry via Photoshop to recreate the feel of an analogue film exposure, Magbanua combines two images of everyday […]
