Eric Staller

Photographer Eric Staller was enchanted by New York City's, plazas, bridges, parks and monuments, but struggled to find a way to celebrate the city's architecture in the 1970s.

Light Drawings, 1976-1980 were exhibited worldwide and received a lot of attention from art galleries and publications. As he tells us, "Even the most technical people in the photography world were mystified about how these photos were made."

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.
