Burning Man by Victor Habchy

Fascinated by the legendary festival of the Burning Man, the Paris-based colorblind photographer Victor Habchy crowfunded his travel to Arizona to bring us back memories captured in time, of this eerie and fascinating gathering. Each year, for a single week, thousands of free-minded people and curious persons from all over the planet build from scratch an entire town in the Black Rock desert, a white land burnt by sun and softened by sand. They create gigantic wood installations, whimsical sculptures, wear costumes and accessories borrowed from circus, childhood and dreams or just express their philosophy with nudity and free love. At the end of the week, their creations are symbolically burned. Victor Habchy joined the hippy-like community this year, sleeping under a tent, without electricity or water and experiencing the harsh weather conditions. But the result of his stay is a breathtaking series of photographs that seem out of this world, and perfectly capture the magic soul of the festival.

Water Drops by Dave Wood

I started playing around with photography in September 2009 after borrowing a friends Nikon, and I now find my self addicted. Macro work has become my favourite category, water drops to be more precise! In 2013 I’m hoping to buy an electronic kit to help me capture some high speed collisions of these water drops. Dave Wood

His architectural series, Desert Realty, sees Ed Freeman take dilapidated motels, trailers, fast food outlets and other buildings and using Photoshop, places them in the middle of the desert. The manipulation and touch ups gives the images a heightened sense of isolation and abandonment.

L’Énergie de Mon Subconscient by Alban Henderyckx

Originaire des rivages de l’Atlantique, j’aurais pu être bercé toute ma vie par le bruit des vagues mais la vie a fait que j’ai fini par devenir un enfant des villes, sans jamais vraiment comprendre les conséquences et l’impact émotionnel qu’elles pouvaient avoir sur ma pensée. Agé, maintenant, d’une trentaine d’années, j’ai instinctivement suivi l’énergie de mon subconscient pour m’immerger de plus en plus dans un univers sans artifice, la nature et l’immensité de ses paysages. Lorsque l’horizon s’ouvre à moi, j’ai un profond sentiment de liberté. C’est sans doute pour toutes ces raisons que j’ai comme un besoin vital de figer l’instant lors de mes visions aux atmosphères éphémères. A l’aube de l’ère du numérique, je vis avec mon temps dans un monde de boitier reflex. Alors, quand le regard est créatif, mes réflexes sont chromatiques. J’ai toujours transporté mes inspirations dans tous ce que j’entreprend. En photographie, j’aime les ambiances de rêveries mais sans la technique, je ne pourrais véhiculer cette vision.
