SUBMISSION

Brock Daves, B.1986, is a Los Angeles based photographer originally from Atlanta Georgia. His images are meticulously gathered on trips across the country, specifically to places that have a mythos  or  known   metaphysical  power.  Through  the  use  of  digital  photography,  his work chooses to examine the way in which we communicate through technology and he utilizes the camera  to  communicate  his   own  questions  and  seeking  out  of ancient  knowledge.   Brock captures the essence of a location and the way it presents itself to him in the moment, which is the opportunity to allow magic to unfold. Often, his work has a painted sensibility with the light and palette holding as much power as the subject itself. His images offer a unique perspective on  modern  nature  photography  that  initiates  the   conversation  about  our  ever-shifting relationship to nature and ultimately our selves. Brock’s work has been featured in many online publications including the Huffington Post and displayed in galleries nationally.

Stiff Pose Victorian Postmortem photography (140 Pics)

Postmortem photography or memento mori, the photographing of a deceased person, was a common practice in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The photographs were considered a keepsake to remember the dead. Child mortality was high during the Victorian era. For many children even a common sickness could be fatal. When a child or other family member died, families would often have a photograph taken before burial. Many times it was the first and last photograph they would ever possess of their loved one. Many postmortem photographs were close-ups of the face or shots of the full body. The deceased were usually depicted to appear as if they were in a deep sleep, or else arranged to appear more life-like. Children were often shown on a couch or in a crib, often posed with a favorite toy. It was not uncommon to photograph very young children with a family member, most frequently the mother. Adults were more commonly posed in chairs or even propped up on something.
