Maybe it’s the compromising poses or the petite models but Haley Jane Samuelson’s beautiful photos remind me of Black Swan for some reason. Not sure if they’ve been published yet but this series would make a great book or set of postcards.
What you’re looking at isn’t an abstract painting or a layered digital image. It’s a series of brilliant photographs created by Tatiana Gulenkina using long exposures of light on contact paper in the darkroom. The result is a rich image full of texture, layers, and ambiguous mystery that captures the movement of light.

Fionn creates mindblowing layered graphics that will have your eyeballs darting side to side. keep up the good work Fionn and welcome to the Cult Of Decay!
Insanely detailed digital collages by Florian Kuhlmann. Not sure if Florian has seen the work of Simmons&Burke who were featured in issue: W of B/D but there is definitely a dialogue between the works.
Fellow Angelino and UCLA Alumn, Liz Craft, really encapsulates what I believe to be the spirit of Los Angeles. Motorcycles, Middle Fingers, Cacti growing amongst discarded tires, and let’s not also forget about those swanky rollerskaters over on Venice boardwalk–all very LA. Her work has multiple reads that oscillate between serious and humor. Liz Craft also happens to be featured in our latest release, Beautiful/Decay Book:5 “Psychonauts”. And like finding parking in LA, Book: 5 is scarce (Less than 200 copies left). Be sure to pick up your copy today and discover 20 full color pages of Liz Craft plus other amazing Psychonauts.
