The Phase Collective

Featured: Dilyana Dineva

The “Signals” project by Dilyana Dineva, broadcasting from Sofia, Bulgaria. This is a fascinating topic to me, and I love how she has visualized something that we all are surrounded with every second of the day. This series depicts the invisible signals that weave through our day – television, radio, wireless data, mobile phones. In Dilyana’s words, we all share an “addiction to receiving”. I’d have to agree.

The photos are from Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey – wonderful lighting and color saturation mix in with the nighttime cityscapes.

Featured: Irene L. Peu

Beautiful layered photography from Irene L. Peu. She’s surprisingly mysterious when you try to track down her info, but images from her Flickr set have been picked up by photo/visual blogs left and right since she was featured on Fubiz earlier this year. Oddly enough, she’s known as “i.Anton” on Flickr… so who knows who this photographer really is? No, seriously, who knows her? Very curious, and we’d love to know more.

Featured: Harper Smith “Poupée”

Harper Smith transcends decades with this wholesome vintage fashion shoot titled Poupée. An appropriate name for this series of a doll-like model. The warm, organic colors, asymmetrical composition and heavily stylized and modded out model make me think these nuggets might as well of been exhumed from a vault of fine photography from the 60’s. Dig deeper into Harper’s full portfolio here.

Featured: Holly Bynoe

Holly Bynoe layers intense color over a dark but vibrant conceptual undercurrent. Coming to us from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (which is here). This submerged series actually sits on the more electric end of her visual spectrum, so be sure to explore the rest of her work and her world at www.hbynoe.com.
