Carl Warner, “Sweaterland”

Carl Warner blends photography and art to make highly conceptual visual images. Based in London, Warner’s 25-year career spans still life and advertising photography. He is best known for his intricate food landscapes.

“It’s hard to know if something is really good until it still excites you as an image several months after it has been created. I usually get very excited about an image once I have shot and put it together on the computer screen. Several days, weeks, or months later, it then becomes apparent if the image is really any good or not, because not only do I feel the same way about it, but other people appear to share the same feeling.” – Carl Warner

Kilian Schonberger

Four Photographs by Kilian Schonberger

Kilian Schönberger’s work boasts captivating clarity and depth, serving to distinguish it from the masses of landscape photography. The range of color and tone found in his images is made all the more impressive by the fact that Schönberger is colorblind. Focusing on texture and pattern instead of color, Schönberger creates brightly contrasted, beautiful images.

Schönberger labels himself as both a photographer and a geographer, and describes himself as aspiring always “to cut my path as a photographer with my own creative perspective-despite being colorblind.” Schönberger adds, “I recognized that I could turn this so-called disadvantage into a strength…while getting a picture of a chaotic forest scene, I can’t clearly distinguish the different green and brown tones. Brushing aside this ‘handicap’ I don’t care about those tones and just concentrate on the patterns of wood to achieve an impressive image structure.”
