In the age of development of digital art and with an ever-increasing speed of an increasing number of Photoshop users, creating a good photo is becoming easier. But making a high-quality picture, doing without new technologies, is a more difficult job. Atlanta-based photographer Tierney Gearon successfully copes with it, combining two plots in each of his work without any photoshop, getting a real work of art with an interesting meaning.
Tierney Gearon was born in 1963 in Atlanta, Georgia. Paradoxically, she became a model before becoming a photographer. After traveling for five years for the job, Tierney realized that she would like to see the world from the other side of the camera. In Paris, her agent saw a small book of her polaroid photos and was pleased to give her the way to the world of fashion photography. She turned around in it for another five years, after which she started a family and plunged headlong into projects of a more personal plan, mainly related to children.
The art world really took notice of her work in 2001 after the exhibition “I Am A Camera” in London.
Her work is a real pearl in the world of conceptual photography. The plots of each picture are intertwined with each other, like the fate of people in the famous film “21 Grams”. Perhaps this film is the key to understanding these pictures. Especially the thought of how people relate to each other. To be honest, I don't quite understand how she manages to combine two plots without using Photoshop, because the layers are literally superimposed on each other, but the hand of the master is the hand of the master.
More details about her work and exhibitions can be found on her website.

One million coffee beans. One World, One Family, One Coffee: another mosaic of Saimir Strati
This Albanian maestro, multiple "record holder" for mosaics, Saimir Strati, has already been met by the readers of Culturology.Ru on the pages of the site. It was he who created a painting of 300,000 screws and a portrait of Leonardo da Vinci from nails, and also laid out images from corks and toothpicks. And the new mosaic, on which the author is working today, probably cost him more than one hundred cups of strong aromatic coffee, since he lays it out from a million coffee beans
