Bavari is a surrealistic, horror/fantasy photographer who uses heavy editing and various techniques to create images that are just beyond the scope of my understanding of photography. As soon as I saw one of his images I had to check to see if it actually was a photograph and not a painting. His pictures are dark, disturbing and welcoming. He uses various components like tar glue, bones etc to collage his items to create his images. Then he uses photoshop to pull everything together. I didnt even know anything he does could ever be achieved using photoshop. His work blows me away. I wish I could paint like him, and even conceptually be like him.
Seeing his approach to photography just blows all the preconceptions and definitions I had of photography. I can only think in a linear thought, trying to see what photography will let me do, while Bavari seems to do what he thinks up, and makes the methods he uses work for him. His approach and style is something I could only hope to emulate.
