When we started this site we weren’t sure how much photography or sculpture we’d cover, but it seems like we constantly find inspirational works in these mediums. Enter Roger Ballen, an American-born photographer out of South Africa who’s dark imagery is intriguing and ambiguous, but never grotesque. You may have seen some of his older images and not been aware. On his website, you can view a great deal of his work under the ‘image galleries’ section. The above video features the artist talking at length about his process while displaying several examples. Enjoy!

You may be familiar with the above images of crying children that made photographer Jill Greenberg notorious. The images are no doubt powerful and remind us all of a time when this reaction was our only defense against the powers that be. Greenberg’s photography has a fantastic clean look with incredible lighting that is unmatched. Check out her entire portfolio to view large, beautiful versions of her portraits, illustrative photography, and more.

We are amazed at the work of Dave Hill. The photographer manages to create a rather complex narrative within each of his images.

Along with a hefty portfolio, the artist has a “Behind the Scenes” area of his website that offers mini documentary-style videos of his travels photographing various projects.
