Sure, CGI is responsible for making us all visually cynical. But it’s also enabled projects like this one: a weird—and weirdly poetic—ode to the Pontiac by digital artist Chris LaBrooy.
If you—or the people you take photographs of—always look bad in images, then help is at hand. Professional portrait photographer Peter Hurley suggests you squinch next time you have your picture taken.
We can cry because we’re happy. We can cry because we’re sad. We can cry because we’re cutting onions. We can cry just because we need to cry. They’re all completely different emotions… but are they different tears? Photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher wanted to find out in her series The Topography of Tears. She put dried tears from all different kinds of situations under the microscope to see what’s different between them all.

It’s a photo trick that’s been done before, but is always lovely to see.

Rock stars don’t age, at least our memories of them don’t. Sure, some of them get the harsh lines of life imprinted onto their face and others pass away as a shell of themselves much too early but our memories of rock stars never change.
