Photographer Laure Fauvel’s series ‘Terreurs’ turns an age-old rivalry on its head. The retouched photos depict children fighting back – and winning by the looks of it – against the monsters that typically terrorize them in the night. Children wielding toy weapons keep the nightmarish creatures cowering in closets and under beds with fearful expressions. See gallery

Vor über einem Jahr stellte Claudia Wycisk eine neue Fotoserie bei uns vor: „Woman in Black“ zeigte schwarzgekleidete Frauen in klaren Schwarzweiß-Portraits. Seitdem ist ihre Serie gewachsen und fand vor Kurzem mit dem hundertsten Portrait ihren Abschluss. „The Black Series“ heißt sie nun und zeigt auch Männer, Kinder und sogar ganze Familien.
Ihre Portraits wirken wie aus einer anderen Zeit. Claudia wählte besonders charakteristische Gesicher aus und fuhr für einige Shootings mit ihrem mobilen Studio quer durch Deutschland. Auch in Bonn machte sie Halt, um mich mit meiner jüngsten Tochter zu portraitieren. Ihre ruhige, geduldige Art half mir sehr, mich in die Rolle einzufühlen.
Nur wenige Stunden später schickte mir Claudia vier Fotos fertig bearbeitet und obwohl ich die bisherigen Bilder ihrer Serie kannte, war ich überrascht. Die simple Lichtsetzung, die Schnelligkeit, aber auch mich selbst so anders zu sehen, war für mich überraschend. Vielen Dank liebe Claudia, dass ich Teil dieser großartigen Serie sein darf.
Das abgeschlossene Projekt wird in einem Bildband zu sehen sein, limitiert auf 300 Exemplare. Wer Interesse hat und Claudia beim Druck durch eine Vorbestellung unterstützen möchte, kann dies noch bis zum 30. Juni tun.
Das Projekt könnt Ihr auch auf Facebook verfolgen. Sehenswert sind ebenfalls Claudias andere Fotografien, die Ihr auf ihrer Webseite findet. Wir freuen uns schon auf ihr nächstes Projekt.

It’s amazing what a few strokes of a black eyeliner can do – like create an unsettling optical illusion that makes it seem as if a girl has two faces. The ‘Doublefaced’ project by Sebastian Bieniek is deceptively simple, requiring no trick photography or Photoshopping. It’s just a girl with two cartoonish faces, but the results are more compelling than you’d think.
Glimpsed between messy locks of hair, a single drawn-on face gives the illusion of a tiny head on a normal-sized human body, as if a figure from a drawing or painting has gotten up off the page and walked into the real world.
The effect is even creepier when the model splits the two faces with a pole, a branch or her own hair. She becomes a set of twins that, at first glance, are almost disturbing on a level worthy of The Shining.
The artist not only captures a sense of duality in the model, but also a mash-up of two-dimensional art in a traditional medium and reality, much like a recent series that combined large-scale drawings with photography to produce incredible illusions.
These cool portraits combine more than one image to create fun, crazy illusions that you have to see to believe.
