Christophe Huet – The Master of Retouching. Part1

French retoucher Christophe Huet is a true photoshop Master! His work is fascinating.

I spend an hour on his site looking all of his work, and the Best of all is that he has few working progress slideshows where you can see the process of each image, Like the one above… Its really interesting and inspiring.

FactChimpanzee’s Fuzzy Photographs Set to Sell for up to £70,000

Picture by Guzelian GUZELIAN: SAY BANANAS! COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN BY A MONKEY GO UNDER THE HAMMER. A collection of one-of-a-kind photographs is set to go under the hammer - so unique because the set was taken by a CHIMPANZEE. Mikki the monkey's snapshots of Moscow's Red Square, Russia, show a blurry picture of life through an animal's eyes, to form the exhibition Our Moscow through the Eyes of Mikki. Contemporary artists Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid, two of the founding members of Moscow Conceptualism of the 1970s, discovered chimpanzee Mikki as a popular performer at the Moscow Circus. They taught the 15-year-old chimpanzee how to take photos with a Polaroid, and then by a regular analog and an antique camera. Mikki's take on the world presents a new perspective akin to experimental photography and reference millions of photos taken by tourists on a daily basis. The pictures, which will be sold at Sotheby's Auction House, London, on June 5, are expected to fetch between £50,000 - £70,000.

“As is probably stated somewhere in the theory of infinity, if you give an infinite amount of monkeys an infinite number of old-timey Polaroid cameras, one will eventually take “artistic” blurry photos of historical sites in Moscow which will then be auctioned at Sotheby's for an estimated $75,000 – $100,000. Fortunately for every simian art fan with a spare $100k, we are currently living in the very universe in which that concept is reality. Eighteen photographs by – and of – Mikki The Chimpanzee are going to auction on June 5, 2013”. – Callie Beusman via Jezebel.com. (Photo by Guzelian)
