Norman Reedus "Portraits From The Woods" BTS Photography from The Walking Dead

In this brand-new electrifying book of photography by Norman Reedus, he captures moments behind the scenes of TWD as only Norman could deliver. With his unique sense of humor, traveling into the Georgian woods with Norman’s cast of characters and zombies, alongside portraits of Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Hideo Kojima, Lena Dunham, Diane Kruger, Dave Chapelle and many more to reveal the individuals that inhabit his life.

"Daughters of Darkness" Celebrates The Faces of Metal

Noted celebrity and music photographer Jeremy Saffer has joined forces with Rare Bird Books for the release of the coffee table book Daughters of Darkness, a photographic love letter to the iconography of Black Metal and Doom.

“‘Daughters of Darkness’ has been a project that’s been in the works for a third of my lifetime,” Saffer says. “I knew that I wanted to make the most of this project and, most importantly, have it done the right way. Rare Bird not only shared my vision for what the physical collection of all this work should look like, but also are as excited for this project to come to fruition as I am. It’s really important that an artist’s vision is shared by the people bringing that vision into physical visual form.”

Emilie Black Readies 2020 "You've Got Red On You" Horror Inspired Calendar

As we quickly approach October and the high holiest of holidays, we'll be throwing all of our friend's horror projects at you so you are sure not to miss any awesomely creepy things! One such creep is Emilie Black, photographer and great supporter of the horror community.

Last year’s debut calendar was carried at Dark Delicacies in Burbank and online in various locations, so there were no problems getting your horror fix. This year's project, playfully titled "You've Got Red On You" is available for pre-order as we speak...and we've got the deadly details...

Dark Horse's Game of Thrones: Arya Stark

Back into our photography series for Dark Horse's Game of Thrones figures! Today we visit with a girl who sometimes has a name and sometimes...does not. She's gone through an incredible transformation as the series marched on, always seemingly just out of reach of the comforts and safety of her old life. From the little girl swinging her sword Needle about the grounds of Winterfell to the defiant young woman who stood her ground with The Hound and earned his respect. Arya Stark has survived largely by the strength of her reserve, and sometimes, her hate, which lead her to the steps of the Many Faced God. There, she would endure humiliation, beatings and blindness to acquire the deadly skills needed to bring about the deaths of the enemies of House Stark... delivered by small, unassuming hands. It is unknown what, exactly, drives Arya these days, but it is suspected that her plans are far reaching and fairly genius. One thing is for sure, when it comes to Arya, not everything is what it seems.

SDCC 2015: Cosplayers Charging For Photos Now

While running through the battlefield known as San Diego Comic-Con, the brave crew of 4 Idle Hands reporters see many odd things. Since they predominantly shoot collectibles and cosplayers, they are in the thick of it for the entire show with no leisurely breaks in air conditioned panels or prolonged stops at charging stations inside posh lounges where free food and drink are available. My crew are soldiers. This is WARCON!! While there is no way around the fight that is shooting tiny little action figures surrounded by mobs of fans, we usually don't have a bad time when photographing cosplayers, no matter how little our costumed friends get to move across the floor as they are assaulted with odd requests, inappropriate "jokes", the random grope and long, creepy, lingering looks into their boob windows. These are generally happy people who work hard on their costumes and enjoy showing them off. Sure, there are rude folks who hear your request plain as day, regard you and turn away as if you are not cool enough to capture their image, but that's life. Every group has jerks. What we didn't expect this year was a number of cosplayers trying to make some quick cash amid the Comic-Con frenzy.

Figure Fantasy: The Pop Culture Photography of Daniel Picard

Figure Fantasy: The Pop Culture Photography of Daniel Picard is a wholly unique collection of meticulously composed images, showcasing a variety of comic book and movie icons in realistic and often hilarious everyday settings. Canadian photographer Daniel Picard composes his comedic and artistic images using a mix of real-world photography and fantasy, resulting in a collection that actor Simon Pegg calls “a wonderful conversation piece.” Picard photographs 12-inch figures from Sideshow Collectibles, then arranges them in to-scale environments, using classic heroes and villains to create believable scenes and tongue-in-cheek parodies.
