I originally thought that none of our authors featured Taiwanese photographer Jeff Liu, so after viewing, gathering, and spending time with his amazing photos, I then realized that Konahrtist had him published earlier in March of this year. So immediately I was pissed, but after viewing his post, we both selected totally different images. This was a relief because this photographer continued to pump out new astounding work since his last feature. Enjoy!

Carlos Alvarez Montero is a photographer originally from Mexico City, Mexico who has exhibited his work internationally from the US, France, and Mexico. Montero's work has been published in The Fader, Vice, Time Magazine, Newsweek, and Harper’s Baazar México among many other publications.

Tom Kondrat is a photographer from Warsaw, Poland who currently resides in Taipei, Taiwan. He has a rich wide approach to static shots that speaks in volumes. The aura and misty tones of each landscape leaves the viewers pondering the possible desolate back story behind each image.

Matthias Paul Hempt is a photographer based out of Düsseldorf, Germany with natural ability to make light poetically whisper. He is currently studying at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf where he continues to capture his surrounding elements in a beautiful minimalistic form.

Miss Aniela is a fine-art/commercial photographer based out of London with a very unique and surreal approach to fashion by blending animals and portrait paintings within her environments. She has been exhibited internationally in Europe and the US, with representation in Madrid, LA, and San Diego.

Scout Paré-Phillips is a photographer based out of New York that currently resides in Baltimore, MD. His series entitled "Impressions" leaves behind imprints of our daily clothes, fabrics, and jewelry laid upon our flesh.

Ariko Inaoka is a Japanese photographer who has been documenting two Icelandic identical twins girls, Erna and Hrefna, since they were nine years old in 2009. This yearly project of Ariko's will be ongoing untill they are sixteen years old. Her intentions are to capture the very precious period of their growth from child to teenager, physically as well as psychologically.

Last time we featured English photographer Kirsty Mitchell back in October 2011 (and in January 2011), her spread on Empty Kingdom hit the social media world hard, and the traffic was overwhelming. It's understandable because of Kirsty's epic vision and her concepts of fashion. Viewing her sets and wardrobe throughout her work is like living in a world based on themes of each individual color.

Lauren Withrow is a 20 years old photographer that lives in a small suburban town in Texas.

Katie Eleanor was born in 1993 and has grown up forever wanting to create dreamscapes. She is based in London, UK, and alongside photography, she is also intrigued by set and headpiece design, where in which both often play parts in the stories she photographs.

Brian Oldham is a photographer currently living and working in the Los Angeles area who keeps his passion for all things beautiful and strange ever present in his work, creating surreal, conceptual images that transport the viewer to new worlds.

Kyle Thompson is a 21 year old photographer based out of Chicago, Illinois. His work is mind-blowing for any age, but still, what's so mesmerizing is how young this man is. Highly refined with simple details and organically powerful.

Hui+ is a photographer who has been featured on Empty Kingdom's Top 100 of 2011, and this is now her fourth feature. Her EK credentials are certainly vast, and we're always happy to bring her back. Since her first appearance in 2010, she continues to feed her viewers with earthly atmospheric realms that's delicate, ethereal, and just simply lovely.

Rodrigo Dada is a photographer based out of San Salvador, El Salvador. "Vortex" is a project about personal crisis and the human ability to regenerate, to rise from our ashes. Through the absurd, I explore the contemporary world, to find meaning in the meaningless, through the irony I aim to bring awareness about alienation. I reflect on absurd situations between people and objects in everyday life. The struggle to reach a balance and find meaning."

Ren Hang is a pretty damn raw Chinese photographer that really has no limit or censorship to his visual poetry. He'll portray his naked friends in deranged obscure sexual positions with other sensually posed buddies against beautiful landscapes. Either way, he is bad ass and we've missed him. The images featured on here are toned down so go to his website for more crazy shit.

Nastya Kaletkina is a Russian photographer that enjoys shooting with old analog cameras. No digital bullshit.

Thomas Devaux is a French photographer who works out of Paris, France with a modern approach in the world of fashion. The exorbitance within his wardrobe and the mood behind each image is very rich, grand, and refined with sophistication.

Oleg Oprisco is a photographer from Kiev, Ukraine with a clever approach to perspective, composition, and the use of color that'll make you look twice.

Vadim Stein was born in Kiev (Ukraine) in 1967, where he received an education in the sphere of sculpture and restoration. Eventually, he worked in theater for many years and it became necessary for him to photograph his work. By working behind the camera, he brings out the beauty of balance, tranquility, and aesthetics with extremely talented acrobatic models and performers through a fine art approach.

Izima Kaoru is a Japanese photographer that combines death and fashion in a very seductive way. He invites actresses and models to reveal their fantasies about a perfect death: above all, he asks them which designer clothes they would like to wear when they die.
