Photographer Matt Molloy creates these nearly psychadelic photographs by compiling "timestacks," hundreds of photographs captured with his camera's timelapse feature. The results look like painterly strokes building the sunset from a blank canvas.

Robert Doisneau (April 14, 1912-April 1, 1994) was a French photographer, known as a pioneer of photojournalism. He mostly took pictures of people in the streets, highlighting social class, and paying particular attention to children at play. He is well known for his photo, Le baiser de l'hôtel de ville (Kiss by the Town Hall), which he took in 1950.

At first glance, I thought these photographs by Paul Hiller were fantastical illustrations of imaginary theme parks, but the truth is even better, because these places are real! In his signature pastel hues, Hiller documents some of the world's weirdest adventure-lands in their rare moments of calm. 

Fabian Oefner is a photographer who dabbles in physics, if only because it produces such interesting pictures. The first series, "Millefiori," is created by "mixing ferrofluid with water color and putting it into a magnetic field." Within the field, the iron particles rearrange to form black channels, separating the water colors from the ferrofluid. Next, Oefner's "Black Hole" series shows the results of paint versus centipetal force. 

Ever ordered something from a restaurant and then it looked nowhere near as good as the picture? That's not because they happened to photograph the best burger of the batch that day. It's because the art of "food porn" comes down to high speed cameras, heavy post-production and all that food - props.
