EMPTY KINGDOM TOP 100 Artists of 2011
Gentle Creatures
Soft and lovely photos by Marianna Rothen. I love the way women shoot each other. I feel that when men shoot naked women they tend to focus on making them look sexy to satisfy their mental boners, while women tend to look for an extra quality or mood from their naked subjects. Maybe that’s...

Eliot Lee Hazel // Part 1 of 2
Now this doesn’t happen often, but once in a while I’ll come across an artist to feature, and find myself having trouble trying to narrow down a set of images to showcase the said artist’s body of work. Well in cases like this, why not just showcase them all! Hence today, I feature Part...

Happy New Year, peoples. It’s been a long time. I’m a bad bunny, but I’m back… Meet photographer Hal. He makes me giggle. I think he’s quite romantic in a way.

Ryan McGinley Part Deux
Back in December 2010, all of us here loved Ryan McGinley’s “Moonmilk” series. McGinley has some newer works/series since 2010, and being that he made it to our EK TOP 100 of 2010, we revisit him early this 2012 year to start it off right.

Lydia Roberts
Lydia Roberts is yet another young and extremely talented photographer that we’ve stumbled across that is only going to get better as she continues her work. It’s mind-blowing how many young photographers under 21 years old (This is generally speaking, of course. I believe Roberts is currently under 18 years old) possess such a...

徐晚晚 COCOTTE
徐晚晚 (COCOTTE) is a photographer hailing from Wuhan, Hubei, People’s Republic of China. Plain and simple, I love COCOTTE’s work. It’s ambient, emotive, dark, sensual, and all around dope. Now, only if I can start directly snorting her work, so I can get a direct dose right into my brain…

Darren Ankenman
Photographer Darren Ankenman has been shooting since 2004. Ankenman has a kind of naturalistic, documentary-like perspective in his fine art images, and it’s no surprise after having shot numerous documentaries for a long (and eclectic) list of celebrated clients, such as The Black Crowes, Jewel, Mick Jagger, and Bill Clinton among many others.
