Serene Landscapes by Alexandre Deschaumes

Unlike most big-shot photographers out there, Alexandre Deschaumes is self-taught. It’s not enough for him to just climb a mountain, set up his equipment and take the shot. A true artist, he tries to get a ‘feel’ of the landscape he’s capturing on film before actually taking aim with the lens. The results as you can see, are nothing short of breathtaking.

Gods and Beasts Series by Rémi Chapeaublanc

While on a solitary voyage through Europe and Asia, renowned photographer Rémi Chapeaublanc stumbled upon Mongolia. This wild and sparsely inhabited place where men and animals are mutually dependent on each other for survival inspired him to create the series “Gods and Beasts”. The implication being: on the most basic level, man is still an animal. On the other hand, animals have no concept of right or wrong and can therefore do no wrong. These raw portraits made outside the studio leaves the viewer to judge the animal and the divine.

Equus – A Tribute to Horses by Tim Flach

Tim Flach is a London-based photographer best known for his highly conceptual portraits of animals, particularly horses. A lot of hard work went into his series-turned-book “Equus”. Unlike humans, you can’t just flat out ask an animal to pose for you and the best pictures are often taken after a long period of waiting for just the right moment. The images in Equus fall into three sections. The first contains a range of close-up studio portraits. The second explores how location has played a part in shaping the horse and features different horse breeds, including the only remaining undomesticated horse in the world, the Przewalski’s Horse from Mongolia, shown in their natural environment. The third examines the myriad ways humanity has shaped the horse, including photographs of cross-bred horses such as the Zonkey, a collection of images of horses wearing headgear ranging from armour to respiratory masks, and a series of photographs shot at Cambridge University showing the development of a horse from embryo to fetus.

I Dare the Sky and Brighter Doom – Pensive Animal Art by Scott Belcastro

Scott Belcastro is a Los Angeles based painter who grew up in upstate New York. Perhaps because of this, most of his acrylic paintings have nature inspired themes. The subjects of his work (mostly animals) express a certain feeling of loneliness and hope. They are set against a dramatic backdrop of oppressing skies. His most recent series “Brighter Doom“, explores “the vivacity and chaos pulsating through all entities” as one gallery put it. According to Scott, “I wanted to capture an imaginary essence or spirit that moves with things, whether it be a gun, an animal, or a building. The depiction of guns and animals together have nothing to do with any sort of violence or harm. Brighter Doom delves into my internal reactions to beauty and what it would look like as energy….motion ….and a bit of chaos.”

Cute Pups To Beastly Canines by Seth Casteel

Some dog owners just love playing fetch with their dogs, but what happens if the ball happens to fall into the water? Are the dogs happy about that? Seth Casteel, with his high-speed camera, reveals the hideous answer to this question by taking photos of them underwater while they go for that ball which their master threw away. Just when you think dogs are such lovable creatures, better think again as getting them into rage will never be a joke, much like these sharp edges prove seemingly fatal to the viewer’s eye.
