- MODEL TIED DOWN WITH SHARKS -

This is one of the art work done by Benjamin Von Wong, a photographer who motivated by creative challenges and want to create a meaningful art.

WHY I CHOOSE HIM?

'' Sharks are almost always depicted as menacing and terrifying, yet it is humans that are responsible for killing them in the millions just to make soup. I wanted to create a series of images that would help break those stereotypes and show that it is possible for us to co-exist together in perfect harmony. '' 

This is what he had said. He has become more notorious for his epic photography by challenging the creative.He captures viewers with a hyper-realistic art style: an innovative fusion of realistic photography and special effects. He is always full of passion to do what he want to overcome the impossible.He try to grab the attention of audiences through fantastical concepts and compelling compositions.Although there is so much impossible that talking pictures with shark under the sea, but he did it by his passion. Shooting photo, bringing in special effects,such as pyrotechnics.His goal is to evoke powerful emotions and a genuine interest in what is happening in the image. This is so amazing, and yet inspirational. He even showing you step by step how he reaches more intensity with special effect, move on and study how the artist modifies and completes an image with fantastic black ink splotches in Photoshop.

Neil Krug

The artist i choose is Neil Krug , this is one of his work  '' PULP ART BOOK V1 '' .

This is a multi-media collaboration between photographer Neil Krug and model Joni Harbeck and is now the subject of the artists’ first monograph. This art book split into several vignettes ranging from a spaghetti western theme to a Bonnie and Clyde revival and to the struggles of a 1950s housewife.Old LP jackets, Giallo posters, vintage book covers, and B-movie cinema themes have defined their taste for this project. Initially they set out to capture something simple and sexy; as the shoots progressed, however, natural story lines emerged. The resulting work captures the smell of those decades and expresses them in a fresh way.

Why I choose his work ?

I like the way he express his work. His works was always full of suprise, and yet colorful. His works look interesting by using different kind of elements and story telling. The ways he shoot and present the photo is always drive us to the feeling that he want to express.The ''Pulp art book volume one '' , these series tell the story of each character, and will be expanded in subsequent volumes. He choose pulp paper to represent this work since the inspiration of the pulp theme is actually comes from the collective appreciation of societal life and the artistic expressions of the 1960s and 70s.
