Cecelia's Flowers


Cecelia Webber creates images of flowers entirely constructed from photographs of the human body.

Her work consists of only the naked human body, often her own, photographed in the most peculiar of positions then painstakingly overlaid using Photoshop to form the familiar shapes of petals, stamen and stem. So familiar the shapes are and so acutely formed that at first glance it is hard to tell that you're looking at naked people. Lastly, but always first in our book, she saturates the forms with stunning color. Her work pays great homage to nature: the beauty of the human figure and the shapes and colors that connect all living things.

Getty Images' Watermark In Real Life



For those of you who don't know this. Getty Images is one of the most famous image banks out there. Naturally, the low res previews of their stock photography always have the Getty Images watermark on them.

Now, Getty takes the watermark to the streets for their most recent advertising campaign
They recreated it in glass and placed it infront of many monuments and attractions around Germany, along with a simple message: "All the images you can imagine".

Although I think the concept is pretty cool, Im not very sure about its execution. I mean there's always that awkwardly protruding pole that carries the glass "watermark".
