Introduced to the work of James Chiang on a recent trip to San Francisco, the word impressive doesn’t do it justice. Moods set by unconventional sets and props, both found and fabricated set the bar at new heights. Chiang is a master sculpture and musician who uses his home, amongst an array of arenas, to tell stories. He photographs his world and shares it in the most powerful of ways.

Pyschospa is a series of photographs by Russian husband and wife duo, Sonia and Mark Whitesnow. We came across these on Mashkulture and couldn’t help re-post these. It’s really amazing how they evoked these creatures from natural elements. A true forward study in Make-up and prop design/costume.
“Ironic world of Psychospa, the world which reflects a modern man living in a metropolis, unsociable and full of fears and anxieties but “attracted” to nature. A person, who does his best to achieve harmony of his body and soul and in so doing, wishes to stay young and healthy. Driven by a “set of procedures” such as therapeutic mud baths, volcanic minerals, plants, chocolate and honey his inner energy awakes in him. The man turns into a strong and resolute creature with a significant moment of clearing the body of “chemical and toxic waste”. ”
