Scenery of human bodies – Otherscapes by Carl Warner

Grotesque faces in Wes Naman’s “Rubber Band” series
inspiratu.com
We've seen several photo series from photographers using various office supplies (scotch tape, rubber band, paint) or household items (leaf bower, window glass) to distort ones face for that bizarre look we cannot help to click on. Nevertheless, one thing is for sure - the results are always entertaining. Wes Naman (was featured here) previous "Scotch Tape" series created so much buzz that he decided to follow in the same direction by using rubber bands. This time faces were borrowed from local Albuquerque music bands (see play of words "rubber bands" - "music bands"). Musicians wearing their band t-shirts posed for this fun but sometimes painful photoshoot. More of "Rubber Band" photos can be found here. Photography by Wes Naman [...]

Orgasmic faces in promotional posters for Lars Von Trier’s “Nymphomaniac”
inspiratu.com
No stranger to the controversy Danish filmmaker Lars Von Trier done it again. Long before his latest movie Nymphomaniac is scheduled to be released on December 25, 2013, publicity is gaining momentum by release of movie posters depicting main characters in orgasmic facial expressions so natural it makes you wish you were present in their photo-shoot. Naturally remarks from actor Shia LaBeouf that he had real sex during the filming doesn't hurt. Whether your favorite or not, Lars Von Trier definitely is one of the most innovative filmmakers having this gift at creating moods (some of them disturbing) that sucks you in but are never dull or indifferent. On our favorite movie list is Europa, Breaking the Waves, Antichrist and Melancholia. From the actors in these posters we think Uma shall be a frontrunner in depiction of big O. More can be found on Zentropa [...]
