Light Painting Haunting Sci-Fi Abstract Portraits
Light Rorschach by photographer Nicolas Rivals uses a torch light and a camera with a long exposure to draw.
Rivlas:
…turns observer and observed through the eyes of spirited but ultimately see some of your own personality and therefore yourself. Cross between the work and the viewer as an introspection looks these masks seem to shout.
“Tell me what you see and I’ll tell you who you are.”
Photographs that Look Like Drawings because of Fantastic Face Paint
With just enough photographic detail (eyes, for example) still visible, the 2D or Not 2D series from Russian photographer Alexander Khokhlov (along with Valeriya Kutsan, one of the best make-up artists in Russia) is stunning and perception shifting.

Bird Dogs
I don't know the origin of these images. I would love to meet the twisted mind(s) that created them.
Very similar to these animal mashups, which inspired the title of my serial poetry project: Manipulated Bestiary.
Children and Where They Sleep
James Mollison uses the power of series (and its inherent qualities of comparison, contrast, expectation and surprise ) to tell the very moving story of childhood around the world in his book Where Children Sleep.
“I hope the book gives a a glimpse into the lives some children are living in very diverse situations around the world; a chance to reflect on the inequality that exists, and realise just how lucky most of us in the developed world are,” says James.
Other series we've had on kids and schools around the world include:

Book of the Day: Kant and the Platypus: Essays of Language and Cognition by Umberto Eco
There are a handful of books that have been a part of my personal education, ones that I feel like I found on my own, and refer to time and again. This is one of them. There are a number of poems ( Notes Toward Identifying a Father, for example) there were, as Lucie Brock-Broido says, troubled into mind by ideas in this book.

Landscapes Crafted Out of Food by Carl Warner
English photographer Carl Warner:
“ Although I’m very hands on with my work, I do use model makers and food stylists to help me create the sets. I tend to start with a drawing which I sketch out in order to get the composition worked out, this acts as a blue print for the team to work to.”
The scenes in ‘Foodscapes’ are photographed in successive layers from front to back.
