"Tomek Jankowski photography. personal projects + portfolios for models, visage studios and fashion designers.

Polish photographer with a new project called Tkanka - Tissue. The underwater "womb" photos are quite intriguing. Makes me wanna get a water-tank.

Phone Sex is a book of photography and writings by Phillip Toledano that aims to pull back the vale and show the inner-workings of the phone sex trade.

"There is a contract that exists between phonesex operators and the people who call. It is a contract of self-delusion. The caller agrees to pretend that he (or she) is calling a young, beautiful girl, and the phonesex operator willingly plays the
part. Phonesex reveals the truth. It pulls back the veil to reveal
the expected, and the unexpected, all at once."

Pick up your copy of PHONESEX and be sure to check out his last book "Bankrupt".

A 1980 photo shoot reveals a playful side of the President-elect Photographs by Lisa Jack

I love how natural and "normal" (for lack of better word) he comes across in these early photos. He could be anyone of my friends from 10 years ago. There is something about Obama that makes us all feel that we know the President better than ever. Is it just because we're young or is it because for once there is a person who has lived a life more like ours?

Amazing collection of work spanning over three decades. The older portraits are so bad-ass, especially the record covers.

Brilliant resource for staging retro photo-shoots.

This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

Hans Weishäupl took photographs of over 350 people in each country wherein which his subject was an "evil dictator" and pieced together parts of each photo to create a high-res portrait of the subject. It is incredible how life-like these images are.

On a side-note I think that it is incredible to think that in the future, using photo-stitching and large sets of sample data (such as flickr), we could create methods for generating detail in small images or video. ... I suppose it's really not much different from how our brains process images and information, but still it's remarkable...

Waiting for Jnr™: 9 days late

The beautiful imagery of my Flickr friend theGentleman™. I find it so amazing that all his shots seem to just be "in-the-moment" captures of his life. Nothing staged or planned, just discovered. Goes to show that there is beauty all around us.

Our friend Brian is diving head-long into fashion photography, and in just a few months has managed to create quite an impressive Flickr portfolio.

There is absolutely no excuse to avoid picking up The December/January issue of French Vogue. Inside the issue is the most brilliant insert of a 2009 pin-up calender shot by Terry Richardson and styled by Carine Roitfeld.

Works for me.
