It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a photographer’s work that really takes me somewhere new. Kyle Thompson’s photos are dark, whimsical, with a touch of realist magic, that prevent them from being too macabre. His subjects include cigarette-smoking princes, preppy wanderers, drowning poets and beautiful boys of urban fantasy.
Thompson’s use of props, colors and lighting in his photographs is very refined, to the point that they work as visual motifs — proving that he has developed a consistent (and impressive) aesthetic.
Check out some of my favorite Kyle Thompson pics. Which one is your favorite?
The partially submerged reflection (face and mirror) is my favorite.
Love these. I love how the cigarette recurs as a theme of youth.
Your artistic photographs are brilliant! They are very striking and like a living breathing dream. Nice work, can’t wait to see more.
oh wow! those photos are so beautiful.
Thanks! But I’m not the photographer, just came across his work and felt he deserved to get my friends’ attention. Call me the curator. You can check out more of his work on here: http://www.kylethompsonphotography.com/fine-art
