I stumbled across this amazing Brazilian photographer called Marcus Hausser, when I was looking through blogs. When I saw the above photograph I was instantly pulled in. It is a powerful piece of art, a portrait photograph of what looks like an older woman, made all from hands. The same with the one below a portrait of a Punk, Mohawk and all, again all created using hands. They are so beautifully composed and lit, it is such an exciting and clever idea. Illusions have always been popular within all branches of the art and design world, but this is so different from anything I have ever seen! It is ingenious and just messes with your mind, amazing!
When I then explored more and found this SITE (which is used to showcase his work) I came across this amazing series of photographs Mark done for a Fiat Campaign. Each I think show how different Fiat vehicles are used, there is a School Bus Driver, and Fruit and Fish deliverer. Every picture is composed in the exact same way, the driver squished, holding the steering wheel with the contents of their vehicles squeezed in around them as if you are looking in through the front window. This composition works especially well in the school bus photograph, the kids add a certain amount of humour to the piece. The colours are so vibrant in all three photographs, they are instantly eye catching, they are so unusual and extremely cleverly done. At first glance you would not think that they were for a campaign, that they are actually trying to sell you something, which is a very powerful thing! I absolutely adore his work, he shows immense talent, and he has a unique way of creating each photograph to look like a piece of artwork, which are timeless. I will insure I keep stopping by his site awaiting more work to feast my eyes upon.
These are amazing expecially the way in which tehy used the hands to create a bautiful piece of art
