Ryan_Nangreaves_Photography

Every Saturday we select a photo from our Flickr pool to be featured on hearty

Ryan Nangreaves is a 24-year-old photographer from Toronto, Ontario. Ryan’s work focuses on things that he connects with. “Photographing cats and dogs just made sense to me,” Ryan says. “I guess I have a connection to animals!”

Ryan usually carries a couple cameras around–one being a Pentax PC35 AF-M SE as a P&S pocket camera. The other being a Ricoh KR-5 Super II SLR with a 50mm F2 lens for when he has more time to compose photos. Ryan explains, “Gear is not usually a priority and most of it was bought at thrift stores.”

At the moment Ryan is working on printing more of his work, making zines and taking part in some gallery shows.

To see more of Ryan’s work please check out his Flickr and his blog.

How many strings are attached to your sex life?

Birmingham, UK artist Helen Flanagan’s ongoing project, “No Strings Attached” is a photo series that captures a side of soliciting for sex online. Flanagan contacted people whose ads appeared on internet sex sites and convinced them to be photographed. Some of the subjects obscured their faces, others sat proud, expressionless, and at least one exposed himself like a man with nothing to lose. This project “aims to document an online world that revolves around sex”, Flanagan explains. “And looks deeper at current issues such as technology, modern human relations and sexuality.” There are obvious lines between prudishness, prostitution and no-strings-attached sex–Flanagan aims to squeeze in between these lines and find out more about modern sexuality, while delving into the human psyche. What she finds is something intimate, revealing and just a little bit heart breaking.

See some of Helen Flanagan’s “No Strings Attached” series below.

Shrink-Wrapped Love

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

I love you, baby, but I don’t really wanna be shrink-wrapped with you

Tokyo-based artist, Hal has put together a new bizarre photo series involving couples and shrink-wrap. Titled “Flesh Love” volunteer couples are covered in a plastic sheet and vacuum-sealed so tightly together that they appear to be one “love-being.” The result is better than those leftovers you have balled up in Saran Wrap, but we’re not sure we would want to be pressed up against anyone in a sweaty plastic sheet.

See more from Hal’s “Flesh Love” series below.

Tanner_Ballengee_Photography

Every Saturday we select a photo from our Flickr pool to be featured on hearty

Tanner Ballengee is a 22-year-old photographer living and studying in Topeka, KS. Photography has always been a passion, be he also enjoys writing. According to Tanner, they’re perfect accompaniments to one another.

This photo is from a recent trip Tanner took to Tampa Bay, FL for the Tampa Am skateboarding contest. It’s a self portrait in his hotel room. “The night before I had fallen while skateboarding late at night, popping my shoulder out of place,” Tanner says. “Then next morning I was still very hurt and couldn’t move my arm, so I made a sling out of a shoe string.”

Tanner uses a variety of cameras, however his  favorites are the Olympus Stylus Epic, Yashica T4, and Konica Big Mini. The above image was shot with the T4. Tanner always has a camera on him and shoots as often as he can.

To see more of Tanner’s work, please check out his Flickr and his blog.

Bez Uma is a 25-year-old photographer from Moscow, currently living in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. After graduating from Moscow State University as a journalist, Bez worked at a newspaper. He is currently working in advertising as a Creative Director.

The photo above was taken last summer in the Kolomenskoe park in Moscow. “It was a sweltering hot day and I was walking around with my friend Anna,” Bez explains. “Suddenly she stopped as if she wanted to tell me something, but then looked somewhere behind me, in a vague direction. I decided to take a picture.”
