I am always impressed by artists who find new and effective ways to use rudimentary processes to produce images of an other worldly nature. New York based photographer Carlo Van de Roer‘s series Orbs studies the “photographic search for something larger than ourselves…” by unexpectedly combining two mystical seeming (though disparate) images. Though one is rooted in nature (ocean fog) and the other in technology ( the “orbs”, which seem like they were most likely made in MS Paint), both the components of these images draw there power from the ability to create supernaturalillusion by simple means.
The end result is a photograph that is wholly understandable yet transcendent at the same time.
