Art Photography from Yasmina Alaoui & Marco Guerra

Ah, do we have a treat for your eyes today. These lovelies are created by the team of Yasmina Alaoui & Marco Guerra. Marco shoots the nude models in black and white, then Yasmina overlays them with her stunning Arabic Henna patterns.

The results are breathtaking.

The Silent Evolution - an Underwater Art Installation by Jason deCaires Taylor

This is such a great idea - help rebuild coral reefs that human activity is destroying  AND create some groovy art. The symbolism of Jason deCaires Taylor's The Silent Evolution underwater sculpture installation is pretty obvious - people are why coral reefs are threatened and it is people who will rebuild them.

The first set of photos is from when the sculptures were first installed, over time you can see the figures attract corals and provide infrastructure to rebuild reefs.
