Oleg Duryagin




Oleg Duryagin is a Russian Photographer working with the human figure/face.
"...his aim is to question post-human identity. All that is flesh goes through a kind of digital metamorphosis; it is erased, smoothed, and rendered to extreme precision. The finished portraits look very sculptural, non-human, surreal, inanimate, and in many cases, you can see a transparency of the porcelain skin underlining the fragility of every portrait."

Talk about serious skin retouching skills. I pulled images from 3 of his series; Toy story, Tears, and Paper and Paint. There is sooo much more on his sight. What I really like in many of his images is his ability to eloquently strip gender down to an almost androgynous feel.

  1. you know if you use winkdings to type the flight number of one the flights used during 9/11 attacks, you get a skull and crossbones, two towers, a star of david, and a plane.
