We’ve all played with forced perspective as tourist pinching the sun, holding the Eiffel tower in our hands or pushing the leaning tower of Pizza.

Honda took this idea to extreme and combined it with anamorphic illusions to crate a world where the rules of physics do not exist anymore.

Watching the movie unfold and seeing each of the shots “explained” by providing a broader view will make you believe in magic again.

London based photographer Jaroslav Wieczorkiewicz is known for taking high speed photography to the extreme. (And for poking at a $12K Profoto setup with a $500 Einstein).

Jaroslav’s latest endeavor involves nostalgia, naked girls and some incredibly well executed high speed photographs of milk.

The project aims at creating a pin up calendar inspired by the popular pinup calendars of the 40’s and 50’s. Only instead of clothing, the models are wearing milk. Milk frozen with high speed strobes.

Photographers Rolf Maeder, Scott Stulberg and Holly Kehrt planned to take a sunset photographs trip to the Grand Canyon.

After taking the two hours’ drive from Sedona the conditions were not optimal and the air was a bit hazy. Luckily for Rolf, the party decided to take is slow and look for some other viewpoints.

As they were waiting, a lightning storm emerged at the east end of the canyon, providing a perfect lighting show at a safe distance. The fact that the storm was far away, and the cars were nearby for fast escape, allowed them to setup tripods and do some long exposures.

As this is quite an unorthodox way of shooting, we asked Manjari for some information about the series.
