Guess Who? The many faces of Noma Bar

Illustrator Noma Bar’s work is so simple, yet so clever you can’t fail to be impressed. One half of Bar’s work provides stark political or social commentary within simple graphic forms, whilst the other half manipulates everyday icons to create funny images that make you look twice, maybe three times.

Guess Who? The many faces of Noma Bar showcases these two sides of Noma Bar’s. The darker politically active side paired with a lighter more playful outlook on life.

Herb Ritts: I'd take a picture of a friend who needed a head shot

"I'd go down to the end of my street, to a garage that had a certain feeling about it, or a particular light. I'd take a picture of a friend who needed a head shot. That's how I learned, instead of having school assignments and learning camera techniques."

~Herb Ritts

Herb Ritts (1952 –2002) , probably the greatest master of celebrity and beauty photography, convinced us all that the stars, the supermodels and even statesmen , were part of our everyday world.

Images that are dramatic,intimate and spontaneous. Herb’s groundbreaking approach is still the standard to which others aspire .

Autochrome : No small potatoes

The most improbable object imaginable - the lowly, lumpy potato - played a leading role in the great leap forward of color photography.

The story begins in 1903, when two imaginative French inventors, Auguste and Louis Lumiere, seized the pomme de terre and made it the basis for a dazzling new imaging process they called the autochrome, an innovation that would transform a monochromatic world into one suddenly gleaming with color.

Autochrome was the king of the photographic world for the next 30 years, until it was overtaken by Kodachrome and Agfacolor film and the easy-to-use 35-millimeter camera, which allowed photographers to blend in, move fast and render a rapidly changing world in bright colors.

Nothing would look quite so mellow after that.

Howard Schatz : Body Knots

Through Schatz's brilliant eye, the human body is twisted and turned into clever compositions one would not have dreamed possible. Sometimes witty, sometimes glamorous and sometimes strange. The models make Cirque du Soleil contortionists look like amateurs . All are beautiful, intriguing and fun.
