Magnum has launched a new Edition of the giant book “New York” published by Gloria. This book is an ideal (yet expensive) gift for the passionate New Yorker, featuring the most iconic images of New York by some of the most respected photographers of our times – including 28 Magnum photographers, such as Diane Arbus, Bruce Davidson, Annie Leibovitz and Helmut Newton among others.

I found this amazing fashion photography by Parisian Alix Malka, one of the new talent in fashion photography and a well sought after photographer by international magazines.

Shoe Fleur: A Footwear Fantasy is an inspiring book by award-winning photographer and artist Michel Tcherevkoff. The avant-guarde concept behind this book is an outrageous imaginary collection of botanical shoes and handbags amazingly crafted out of various photographs of a single plant or flower. I’m sure Sarah Jessica Parker wouldn’t mind trotting the streets of NYC in one of these fabulous designs.

This amazing panoramic photography by Aaron Hobson is called “Cinemascapes”. I love how Hobson, a self-taught graphic designer and photographer, plays with dramatic lighting, natural compositions and attention to details in this autobiographical series.

I don’t know about you but i always find myself a little bit uncomfortable asking strangers to take my photo while I’m on vacation. So when you find a great photo op and you’re extending your hand to take that picture, don’t settle for that quirky offset pic that captures half your face and your friend’s left eye, get the QuickPod and capture the perfect pic.

While surfing the net I came across the work of photographic artist, Carl Warner. His photographic art is intriguing; taking elements out of their natural surroundings and giving them new meaning in an entirely new world, such as brown leather boots forest trees and jewelry leaves, inviting you to tread on the warm wool and enter the fantastic city beyond.

Nature photography fascinates me. Today’s digital macro photography enables us to present small animals, reptiles and insects as highly aesthetic, colorful figures full of charm and grace.

Just look at this amazing macro photography by Nicholas. A small world it is indeed combined with a lot of humor too. Every shot has been maticulasly arranged with the highest attention to details.

Portrait photographer, Rachel Cartwright, began photographing about four years ago, and soon became captivated by the craft as a means of articulating her innermost emotions.

Albert Font, a brilliant photographer, has a photography online portfolio of almost everything, from interior photography to travel and fashion.

As the director of Casa Viva, Marcel Benedito says: “Nobody knows how to capture the exact atmosphere of an interior as well as Albert Font, the space between the objects that he is able to fill with an absolute mastery of light. The images vibrate as though they were alive, in motion. I don’t know what his secret is.”

Have you ever crossed your hands trying to frame a moment in time, recognizing an aesthetic quality in an overlooked object or space in the city? If your answer is yes then you might as well look into the Urban Curators project – a community celebrating the beauty of spaces in the city. “Literally hanging gold, gallery-style frames in derelict spaces within the city, we are framing objects and views that are of aesthetic or cultural value.”
