Aaron Siskind

Siskind was an American abstract expressionist photographer. 
I love all his work but i particularly want to reference the series 'Pleasures and Terrors of Levitation'. 

I was recommended Siskinds work when a friend visited the Museum Of Modern Art in New York and they were holding an exhibition on abstract expressionism. There were many artists work mentioning at the exhibition so if you're interested click here.






Yang Yongliang

Chinese photo artist who creates sculptures out of photos of cityscapes. 
My favourite below was featured on Juxtapoz.com.
If you havent been on Juxtapoz then youre missing out.




Inta Ruka

Inta Ruka is a Latvian Photographer.
Ruka documents rural life in the poorer suburbs of Riga. 
If im perfectly honest im not that keen on the rest of her work, but this photo, I like. A lot.


Hengki Koentjoro

Koentjoro is a minimalist black and white photographer based in Jakarta, Indonesia.
 His work is a series of projects, each focusing on a specific theme. 
Some of my favourites are his underwater pictures but if you like minimalist black an white photography then you should check out his website or his art limited account which is more frequently updated. 
His work was also featured in issue 9 of Fotoblur magazine. 





Tsutomu Takahashi
