The creative designing of a photography studio by JeeYoung Lee

JeeYoung Lee was just a fresh graduate from Seoul’s Hongik University. But she didn't graduate just with a degree and she became inspirational for many other photgraphers of her age. Restrained by the inherent limits of the conventional photographic medium, she adds plastic creativity and theatrical performance to it, in order to blow life into her immense needs of expression, and interrogation. For weeks , sometimes months, she creates the fabric of a universe born from her mind within the confines of her 3 x 6 m studio. She does so with infinite minutiae and extraordinary patience, in order to exclude any ulterior photographic alteration. Thus materialised, these worlds turn real and concretise : imagination reverts to the tangible and the photo imagery of such fiction testify as to their reality. In the midst of each of these sets stands the artist : those self-portraits however are never frontal, since it is never her visual aspect she shows, but rather her quest for an identity, her desires and her frame of mind. Her imaginary is a catharsis which allows her to accept social repression and frustrations. The moment required to set the stage gives her time to meditate about the causes of her interior conflicts and hence exorcise them; once experienced, they in turn become portents of hope. Check her website and her artworks and see some of the samples of her work below.

Some Before & After Make-up Miracles

We can't really decide whether make-up is good or evil thing in this world. Some people believe the natural beauty of a girl is enough if she's healthy and take care of herself she won't need make-up. But on the other hand some poeple say a little bit of make-up specially for those "who need it really" is not bad and at times really helpful to the eye.

However at some points make up artists do a tremendousely good job and the outcome is unbelievable.

Although these are just a small fraction of many many faces of before and after make-up artists job, but I think they really worth looking at carefully and considering all the details.

Do not forget the biggest markets of make-up and beauty products are Europe & Asia.

25 Albino Animals

Given the millions of different shades of color that we see in nature, it’s no wonder that, once in a while, nature might simply run out of paint. Perhaps this is why pure-white animals leave such a strong impression on us. Some of them look like ghostly spirit animals. Others, like albino whales or moose, are lonely one-in-a-million albinos with striking, unexpected appearances.

Albinism (with its root in the Latin word albus, or white) is a form of hypopigmentary congenital disorder, characterized by a partial lack or total absence of melanin pigment in the eyes, skin and hair, or more rarely in the eyes alone. Due to this, animals (and humans too) with albinism are unusually pale. The eyes of an animal with albinism occasionally appear red because of the underlying retinal blood vessels showing through where there is not enough pigment to cover them.

Some of the animals on this list are albinos, while others are simply members of rare white species. Whatever the case, mankind has been fascinated by such animals for ages. Some consider them to be sacred, and others – demonic.

Whether you find them strange, beautiful, ghostly or freakish, we hope you enjoy this collection of animals that nature simply forgot to color in.
