New Zealand's Definitive Design Destination

Claire Nouvian is a journalist, producer, and film director who has traveled the world for more than ten years, shooting wildlife for French and international television. Nouvian’s enthusiasm for the sea led her to create The Deep—a book that brings the creatures of abyss to a wider audience. Over three years, and with the cooperation of eminent international researchers, Nouvian gathered an unprecedented collection of photographs of deep-sea creatures from mostly American oceanographic research institutions—including images taken by robots capable of diving to a depth of 6,000 meters. From this, she chose the most spectacular images—vampires of the deep, finned octopi, living fossils, and fragile bioluminescent creatures—for The Deep.

Photographer William Hundley has some interesting work on his site. None that pleased me more though than this little gem from his series titled 'Things I do in my garage with cheeseburgers.' Indeed. The works have been so popular that the photographer has noticed the 'Cheeseburger' series has been ripped off in the recently released Beck/ Charlotte Gainsbourg video for 'Heaven Can Wait.' Which is not so good.

Photographer Fred Lebain visited New York last spring taking photographs of various locations around the city. Then he printed out some large detail shots of the locations and took them back to where they were taken to take new shots of the gigantic prints perfectly aligned in their location. The execution is fantastic.

Photographer David DiMichele's latest series Pseudo Documentation depicts imaginary art installations that playfully examine scale and perception, blur the lines between truth and fiction and question the act of looking at art. The LA based photographer situates his subjects in dramatic surroundings - encircled by towers of melting ice, daunting slashes of bark and shards of glass. What is visually surprising is that the locations are not cavernous warehouses or grand halls but infact detailed dioramas that DiMichele constructs.

These unbelievable images are of water splashes taken using the Macro style of photography.

And below is photographer Corrie White's highly technical method he uses to take these outstanding photos.

Some amazing architectural photography using some of Brazil's most iconic architectural marvels as the subject by photographer Guido Mocafico.

Any hands up for global warming? Nope didn't think so. Japanese photographer Kawano Takeshi's work on the other hand is stunning.

English photographer Jake Walters creates real drama with these fashion shots. The fluidity in the background movement synchronizes beautifully with the actions made by the models.
