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...

Shrink Wrap my Heart
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.

Coach Moon
Coach Moon is a “photographer of delectable perversions” who shoots “sexual not sexy” images for his sets. It’s always nice to go from X-mas holiday stuff to near XXX-rated, right?

Anita Dadà
Anita Dadà is a wonderfully spirited photographer hailing out of Italy. I say bring it…if you’re going to embrace fine art photography, go all the way as Dadà does in her work. Fearless, real, a bit dirty, and everything else in between including beautiful, Dadà brings it. And may I say that her some...

I spy with my naked eye…a naked man. Ruben Brulat’s photography focuses on the relationship between humans and both the natural and man-made world. “I want to understand why people, groups and societies behave the way they do.”

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…

It should be noted that Wisniewski makes it clear that he doesn’t take all the photos himself, but the post-production digital work is...
