These Kaleidoscopic Images of Wave Breaks Were Shot on iPhone

These vivid images are the work of a single persistent photographer‘s attempts to capture vibrant colors at the specific moment a wave breaks. Ryan Pernofski‘s beautiful shots highlight dazzling yellows and purples as a beam of sunlight hits the water at the perfect time.

What is even more striking: Ryan, a 27-year-old Australian, started shooting his favorite masterpieces with a professional camera, taking his iPhone out into the water instead. Ryan began experimenting with this technique in 2012, using an underwater home to safeguard his phone, as he couldn’t afford a professional camera.

Ryan stated:”I am looking for something different other than standard wave shots, so I push myself to do exactly what it takes to receive a cool shot. Whether this means getting up way before sunlight, like I do most days, going out someplace that I’m not comfortable or merely attempting to find different angles or fashions of photos, I’m trying to display the mad beauty of the ocean, and typically moments that last less than a split second.”

An Artist Creates Realistic Fabric Tree Stumps from Strips of Fabric and Discarded Clothing

Textile artist Tamara Kostianovsky creates realistic elements from strips of cloth and discarded clothing. In her latest exhibit, the artist forms severed tree stumps from pieces of her late father’s clothes, incorporating his possessions into a landscape of layered, multi-colored logs. The works address the passing of time and allude to the body returning to the environment after passing.

The project is motivated by the South American people of the Andes who believe that Mother Earth is embodied from the surrounding mountains. Kostianovsky translates this idea to placing clothing items into sculptures which represent the world and its surroundings. She clarifies in an artist statement:”Fusing the shapes of shrub stumps of different kinds and sizes to a palette indicative of their insides of the body, [the show Tree Stumps] pays homage to the cultural heritage of the people of Latin America, while introducing an alternate way of considering our post-industrial connection to nature.”

Kostianovsky became entranced with the body whilst working in a physician’s office during her adolescence. She continues to make work that assesses muscle and bone, often in different species like livestock or whales. You can take a look inside the artist‘s studio by simply seeing her Instagram.
