Artist(s): Photophrapher Firm - LSD

*Just a warning: the Jarvis video linked below has an RT of 55min. But it is worth a watch.



















One of the key points in Chase Jarvis' Photoshelter talk last year was the importance of a bold and diversified portfolio. He showed how pushing the boundaries in your portfolio is worth the time and money spent on personal projects like ninja photography etc.

LSD photographers are a perfect example of pushing the limits. Not only are they producing photos like the ones above, but their portfolio shows axes embedded in heads, vomit on the chests of the elderly, shark teeth on swimmers and other crazy concepts. The thing is, their execution is impeccable with fresh lighting and not-too-overdone overlay techniques. That's what gets you to the top kiddies (I say from the bottom...).

Check out their portfolio here.

I didn't get a chance to check out anything beyond their portraiture. They have a still life section that I'm anxious to look at too.
