Stumbled across a photographer, Pep Ventosa, who does the most beautiful things with his images giving his subject/s a very ephemeral, fluid movement through deconstruction, montages or fragmentation.

Here's a link to his gallery entitled "Collective Snapshot"

Here's a link to some of his gallery on Google Images:

So incredibly beautiful, whether it be nature or architecture. Exceptionally dynamic and a style I think many could enjoy for a challenge

Would have to be expert editing.

With that said, I looked at the images you linked to...I have to say I am just not moved except to find the aspirin. I found them very distracting and hard to look at, hence headache inducing, not beautiful.

The images are very interesting to me, and I would be up for giving it a try. I am not sure I'd know how, but I assume it would require expert editing.

In a nutshell, as far as I can tell, it's multiple images of the same subject with just a subtle shift in perspective overlaid on one another.

For your weak constitution, its headache inducing. For me its beautiful. Not everything has to be tack sharp. Eye of the beholder and all that.

Why'd you say that?

Its almost all his own work, for which he has received several international awards for his photography.

it seems to me we spend too much time here mimicking the work of others.

Sometimes it's a good way to get people to try something new and experiment with new techniques.

i would agree with you except that this site continues to encourage archaic limitations on processing while allowing those that hide bad photographic technique.

Hmm...has nothing to do with my constitution and I don't think you are qualified to comment on my constitution either. I find the images headache inducing. You find them beautiful. So what? It also has nothing to do with anything not being tack sharp either. You sure do like to assume a lot of things.

Was just asking, thought I read it on one of the pages.
