Noemie Goudal
Paris-born, London-based artist Noemie Goudal's photography is rooted firmly in the creation of what many have coined 'conception volumique', a phrase borrowed from design production to refer to site-specific sculptural installations that render unclear whether it is the location, installation, or image that is the artwork itself. across various photographic series, goudal frequently works with largescale paper backdrops, juxtaposed closely with the existing landscape and blurring the bounds of the real and the fictional.

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.”

There is a sculptural quality in the make-up of Lee Materazzi’s 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.

Benoit Paillé
Montreal-based photographer Benoit Paillé has been working on a fascinating series of landscapes using a bizarre lighting method involving a suspended glowing square. The images above are not photoshopped, the 1×1 meter light is instead hung in the center of each photograph and the resulting image shows the unique form of illumination that creeps into the surrounding area. Paillé says his goal is to redefine what a landscape photograph is by questioning its reality, creating a kind of poetic moment in space and time.

Robert Schlaug
Robert Schlaug took his series of landscape photographs and stretched out the colors, creating linear striped gradients from its natural palette. Each starting point of the gradients is carefully chosen based on the composition of the picture and the effect he wants to achieve. By cleverly making the gradient a part of the photo, sometimes it appears like waterfalls at the edge of a country road, other times it becomes a wall like digital sunset.
