Normally, we only post about Toronto and/or Canadian based projects, but this project “Flesh Love” by Tokyo-based Photographer Hal caught our attention. The series of portraits depicts couples vacuum-sealed together in a singular form, representative of their total connectedness.
“The two lovers draw closer until they finally transform into a single being. But seriously, when looking at these vacuum-sealed “packs of love”, it makes me wonder about true love between these couples and a whole different, intriguing and confined world.” - Hal

I was checking out some of the latest videos on vimeo when I came across photographer Ruzanna’s rough cut of “Toronto Life”. Her project is a collection of over 5000 photographs edited into this short video, which she aims to re-edit in order to submit to future film festivals.
Enjoy!

Photography has never been so easy, with affordable digital cameras, smart phones, and apps like Instagram, everybody has the ability to take and share great photos. The new book “My Eyes, Your Thoughts” is a perfect example of how easy it is to create and share a collection of photos. Self taught photographer Taha Muharuma took a series of photos in Toronto, from March to November 2011, using only his iPhone4 (and iPhoneography apps).
