In our consumer society, we are plagued with an abundance of goods to choose from. The shelves of our modern emporiums stock a cornucopia of colourfully packaged products that scream for our attention. This plethora of commodities make purchasing even the most basic of products into no easy task. Whether its canned soup or soap, Pop Tarts or paper towels, or even beer or beans. The choices appear to be endless. These products and more are the subjects of San Francisco-based photographer, Richard Stultz’s series of images entitled Choices, which captures them in their natural habitats, visualizing the repetition displayed and just how mind-numbing the experience can be.

Vintage Transformers Box Art

Growing up as a kid, you had to love everything about Transformers. The cartoon, the toys, and even the packaging. Created in an era before Photoshop, all the figures portrayed on Transformers boxes were painted by hand, and came complete with real texture and subtle imperfections that made them all that more awesome.

Edwin Tse is a New York-based photographer. He shoots everything from fashion to music, entertainment, landscape, and last but not least, he has a real talent for taking pictures of beautiful (half-naked) women. While looking at images of disrobed ladies can be pretty entertaining
on its own, Tse has a remarkable aptitude at bringing everything together and catching the perfect moment. His subjects, the settings, the lighting, the angle, the composition… It’s all in some ridiculous form of harmony few photographers ever manage to evoke.
