Shigeo Fukuda died in 2009, but not before being lauded as “Japan’s consummate visual communicator” by none other than the Art Director’s Club Hall of Fame in 1987. One look at his work will tell you exactly why he has such a god-like status and showcasing his work on the site was a real treat.

John Crawford and his wife are folks to admire. While she lays back in her birthday suit to star-fish in locations offering the most intriguing compositions, John gets busy photographing her from above. The results continue to be incredible!
