Photographer Ben Zenck (Ben zank) publishes a new snapshot on the Web every day: so, having studied his portfolio in detail, you can get yourself a detailed idea of the creator's inner world. Judging by the imagery and mysterious meaning of some photos, this inner world is of considerable interest.
Mostly delivered in the form of a non-stop daily stream of Zenk's photographic work, these are mysterious portraits of the hero himself in all sorts of unlikely circumstances. The content of some is difficult to explain from "traditional" positions, but the fact is the fact - they attract attention and "catch" many viewers.
"I go wherever my imagination takes me," the photographer himself says. One of the main sources of inspiration for Zenk is the beauty of the surrounding nature: often the main character of the picture does not seem to be a person, but the majestic elements surrounding him.
Many modern talented photographers gravitate towards a surrealistic view of the world, some of whom we have already written on Kulturologia.ru: for example, an elderly American Jerry Welsman and his young experimental colleague Michael Vincent Manalo … Ben Zenk, who mostly shoots himself, tries to comprehend not all the surrounding reality through absurd images, but that part of it that nests right in his head - and this brings him closer to the generally recognized great classics who created the very concept of "surrealism".

Some of the celebrities cannot live a day without makeup and, and who can calmly do without a make-up
Every celebrity has their own distinctive, recognizable style. Some give preference to pretentious images, while others, on the contrary, try not to stand out from the crowd, becoming almost gray mice behind the scenes, who are trying once again not to catch the eye of the paparazzi. But one way or another, they all have their own reasons for being who they are.

Not a day without a photo, or the portrait hunter Markus Schwarze
How would you react if you were stopped in the middle of the street by a man with a camera and asked to see how the bird flies out? Surely suspiciously, if not hostile, they would have turned around and left. Perhaps even rewarding the impudent paparazzi with a couple of affectionate epithets.
