This talented and rather handsome photographer Oleg Dou is doing some really interesting things with photographic manipulation, and he recently won the Professional Photographer of the Year in Fine Art award in Moscow.
Although I find his work rather simple and I'm not really one for over manipulated photography, I like the fact that he has rather massacred the beauty of some of these portraits to create some thing that really reminds me a bit of a Mark Ryden piece, if it came to life.
The photo's are so crisp and clean and he has manipulated the subject so much they are almost un- recognisable as photographs.
I expect that you will be seeing a lot more of his works in the near future.
