Bill Rose is documentary photographer who strives to capture and preserve the increasingly endangered beauty of American vintage signs through his work. The main focus of his Recapturist collection is the Google-inspired neon signage favored by many local businesses during the mid-1900s.

Although this Mid-Century Modern architectural movement originated in Southern California, its influence can be found in almost every corner of the Unites States. As a result, much of his free time is spent exploring the nearly forgotten two-lane highways and back roads of America on a never ending quest to document these roadside treasures before they all fall victim to progress.

Chris Brock is a portrait and fashion photographer who uses the world around him – inside and out – as a backdrop for his shoots. Having lived and worked in New York and London, the urban and the suburban are as much a part of his pictures as the people he photographs, creating texture, depth and atmosphere that suggests a story behind the images, like a moment stolen from a movie.

Conveying emotions that are at times dark, at times tongue-in-cheek, there is often an unsettling urgency about his photographs that is at once both challenging and engaging but always aesthetically fresh.

Recently we received a number of inspiring examples of motion picture work via our Contact form. The quality and breadth of the work is amazing and we just had to share a collection of our favourite videos.

These artists have an ability to tell a story and create a mood using video and audio. Here are some examples of how real-world footage, animation or a combination of both can be used to great effect.

We’ll let the work speak for itself, and remember to support the artists by adding your comments below. Enjoy!

I set about learning the art of Infographics and Data Visualisation last year. Starting simply (with the complete journeys of Doctor Who – which I immediately regretted) I learned a lot and began to try as many different styles as I could.

Most recently, I dabbled with use of icons to tell stories recreating the entire plots of the first two Star Wars movies entirely in icons (or “Iconoscope”). I’m now moving towards traditional illustration as well.

I am not, however, thinking of shaving my ginger beard in the foreseeable future as its inherent gingeryness is the source of my creative energy.

Leon Ritchie strives to harmonize water, clouds and light into his photographs. An idea may come about from seeing a reflection in a shiny table top or just seeing an object in water and how it moves round it. The vast majority of his images are spontaneous once he gets a feeling for a shot he just goes with it.

A typical day out means carrying a backpack with a DSLR camera and lenses, tripod and filters letting him capture the perfect moment everywhere he goes. Here is a collection of his fantastic photographic work.

Creating a clothing brand seems like a natural progression for many graphic designers. And I am no exception to that rule. I’m always inspired and motivated by the work of others in any medium whether it be, graffiti on walls, cool tees, or amazing illustrations.

This prompted me to start my own clothing brand, Betifon. My goal was to create a creative lifestyle brand that focused on image heavy colorful concepts that would get people hyped and excited. Creating inspiration through creativity is the mission.

Malcolm Clarke is a creative chameleon – he is both a talented film editor and a photographer. Following on from our post last week about his work in film, we now explore his photography.

These images are centered around ‘people’. Malcolm’s ability to capture a mood, feeling or bodily form is incredible. He is also playful with light, colour and setting to great effect.

Here is a showcase of Malcolm’s amazing photographic work. We welcome your comments too!
