Danish artist Søren Dahlgaard has created a series of "Dough Portraits" of people in his native Copenhagen, Kosovo and the Maldives as part of an art project that has traveled throughout the world. The posers were invited to play with and mold the dough before placing it on their heads. The result is an innovative take on the traditional self-portrait.

Bill Finger



Seattle-based photographer Bill Finger - who worked earlier in his career as an assistant cameraman - uses his knowledge of cinematography and set design to create amazingly realistic crime scene dioramas. Each diorama is constructed specifically to be photographed. Like filmmaking all staging and lighting is done looking through the lens. Once photographed the diorama is then destroyed. Bill explains, "Through this process I create a temporary space, which like a film set, only lives on within the image.”

The inside of cupboards, drawers and fridges were photographed in the way that the original user had left it and then reassembled into a single seamless composite image.

Lee Materazzi



There is a sculptural quality in the make-up of Lee Materazzis photographs, attributed to her studies at Central Saint Martins in London where she completed her degree in sculpture. The photographs are based in everyday life, though Materazzi transcends the documentarian quality of life to elevated concepts about living. The photographs take the mundane tasks and chores of our existence and express the way in which they affect our consciousness.
