The wonderful world of Scott Stulberg

Albert Einstein said “Imagination is more important than knowledge”, and with that camera, my photographs let my imagination come to life. A few years later a whole new world opened up for me when my parents built a darkroom for me in our basement. Under the safelights, smelling chemicals and listening to music, I lost all track of time watching my images come to life.

Big Appetites by Christopher Boffoli

Big Appetites  is a a series of fine art photographs that features tiny, meticulously hand-painted figures photographed against real food environments. The series was inspired by a childhood fascination with miniatures, a frequent theme in cinema, advertising and television.  The photographs are also intended to offer criticism of America’s sometimes dysfunctional relationship with food; with overconsumption, portion sizes and food spectatorship.  Big Appetites photographs have been published in more than 100 countries around the world.  Fine art prints from the series can be found in galleries and private collections in the US, Canada, Europe and Asia. More…..

Cityscape photography of Jon Deboer

I am a photographer and graphic designer based in Detroit, MI. I moved to the Metro Detroit area in 2006 to attend Lawrence Technological University, and graduated in 2010 with a BFA in Graphic Design.I started photography after taking film and digital photography courses as part of my graphic design education. It took between a year and two years of shooting after those classes for me to begin to understand what images I really wanted to create, and I am still discovering and understanding that better every day. Photography is the first and only medium I have discovered that allows me to truly express myself creatively.  More….

He appeared in the independent film Latin Boys Go to Hell, but found the work unsatisfying and undemanding. After the release of Latin Boys Go to Hell, Ruiz was asked to audition for several major studio films but he acknowledges that the required interest did not exist. “I wasn’t passionate about acting and it showed‚” Ruiz was quoted as saying. More….
