ERWIN OLAF

Erwin Olaf is a Dutch photo artist who is very well known for his way of mixing photojournalism with studio photography. He wants his work to reflect social issues and taboos in a highly stylized and cunning mode of image making. His work is often highly regarded and he has received many awards for his art pieces. One of his  most famous art works are "Chessmen" where each photo represents an image of a chess player piece and I am so fascinated of his sharpness, surrealistic and interesting way of showing them.
