Julia Fullerton-Batten

Julia Fullerton-Batten from the 'personal' series. She was born in Bremen, Germany. Living and working in London. After her studies she worked as an assistant to different photographer for about five years.
She got a very distinctive style, using complex lightning techniques. The unique combining of natural and artificial light (and cross lighting) stands for the unearthly feeling. It feels like a fantasy you want to explore, a mysterious moment in time. Pictures with a hidden story, teasing you to have another glimpse.

Chalermchai Kositpipat update

The beautiful 'White Temple' (Wat Rong Khun) was damaged by the earthquake on may 6, 2014. The walls of the main building are cracked and the paintings came off the wall. If the structure is intact Chalermchai Kositpipat will repair and repaint the walls. The artist started his project in 1996, and it took him the better part of two years to paint the inside of Wat Rong Khun. Some parts of the complex will have to be demolished, and for now the 'White Temple' is closed to visitors. Here is an article from the Bangkok post giving the more details.

Roman Saintonge

Roman Saintonge a French painter born in Pithiviers. His work usually starts with a picture, using a multitude of painting techniques, he then deconstructs the original image. In doing so he is creating this weird atmosphere. His figures are a bit lost in time, abandoned and damaged. I wasn't able to find his website but at the bottom you can see an interview with the artist, only in French..

schilte & portielje

Huub Schilte and Jacqueline Portielje work and live together in Rotterdam  -   The Netherlands. They started out as an architectural designer and a painter. But now they work together without a preconceived plan or subject. You can read a good description on how they create these intriguing works of art on their 'about us' page.
They have their own unique style, but it does remind me of Sarah Moon's work. Different but the same atmosphere and strangeness.
