Ryann Ford

Her name is Ryann Ford and is a photographer.  She was raised in a little haven where there was no stop-light.. and started digging into photography at age 12.

Her work is polished – with a quieting quality. She always captures the most flattering angle. Every shot is flushed with great lighting.

It looks so effortless.

Sie in analog

Simply impossible to do justice to Susi Sie soundscapes and accompanying visuals which are all – ANALOG – with screencaps.

You gotta see for yourself.

_______

She explores the physical and mathematical nature of unusual forms, substances and materials.

No animation. No 3D. Just reality.

Co-Effect duo

Co-Effect is a Toronto-based creative communications studio founded by the dynamic duo Evelyne Au & Roman Lifshitz – with expertise in branding, strategy, communication, graphic, exhibit and web design.

Young and already having a string of very strong projects under their belt – can’t wait to see what they cook up in the future.

Added to my ‘to watch’ list.

Illusionisms

The aggregation of everyday objects colorized and mounted to create a unique shape or perspective, she definitely deserves the title of illusionist extraordinaire.

_______

Elise works at the intersection of photography and sculpture. She explores the relationship between two and three dimensions, and what it means to take, or make, a photograph.
