Arnold Gustavo Lopez Mañas has skills to spare and a rugged vision of the future. He's a photographer with a designer's mind and he's got all the photoshop tricks to prove it. We reallylike how the balance between design and photography shifts from project to project in his work. His work can stand alone in either vien as well which is very rare to find. He's also an accomplished artist with many great hand drawn and illustrated pieces under his belt. Take a look at what he's done lately and go see his site for much more:

Dubbed an instinctual stalking of fashion, architecture, performance and the body, Lucy McRae and Bart Hess combine to form the shape of a design duo. These images represent some of their explorations in human enhancement and evolution. With an emphasis on low tech methods they still find ways to wow you even in this generation of imaginaryforces and flying metal men. Check the site and see what else they came up with.

Jason Levesque of StuntKid represents VA. and brings a fresh intensity to his images which are crosses between illustration and other 2D elements. What's impressive is that while most illustrators either draw from memories or other peoples pictures, Jason takes his own shots and is a pretty good photographer. That multi-disciplined approach makes for some highly stylized, really engaging work. Check him out.

Let me ask you this...

What's going on in that picture above? You tell me :)

Murat Suyur is a concept photographer from Istanbul. He does some really cool things with simple but effective ideas. His work has a way of getting to the point without waisting your time with a lot of fluff. Excellent for advertising. He's also got a nice fashion portfolio as well with work from some leading magazines. But don't miss the still life... skills indeed.

Speaking of vlossing it up, UK designer Pete Harrison of Aeiko {eye-co} has a knack for beautiful sparks and flares. He's managed to put together a really progressive portfolio of work for clients such as Dolce & Gabbana, Intel and Microsoft... but we won't hold that last one against him. As with most artists his best work tends to be the stuff he does on his own. Check out his site for more of the same.
