Matthew Albanese

Matthew Albanese‘s photos of dramatic landscapes are gorgeous, but they are not what they first seem to be. These are meticulously hand-made models. For example, the caption on this striking tornado photo reveals: “Tornado made of steel wool, cotton, ground parsley and moss.” This seems to me like matte painting taken to a new and strange (and pretty awesome) 3-dimensional space.

    It looks so lively and real, if i haven't read it's description, I would really thought that it was taken during the tornado's disaster.

    HOLY SHIZ i saw this on the aol frontpage today. Impressive to say the least. It's nice to see a conceptual sculptor get some recognition.

    Oh my god, this guy is so artistic when it comes to modeling and painting. Awesome! The clouds look so real, I mean – the entire stage that he made looked like it was outside when he took the snapshot.
