Photographer Slices Up a Leica for Art

For his new project titled Heisenberg Objekt No. III, award-winning photographer Fabian Oefner has created an unusual scupture by slicing up quite an expensive "raw material": a pristine Leica M6 rangefinder camera, which costs around $2,500 to $3,500 used.

This Photo Was Shot with a Real $2M Lamborghini Taken Apart

Swiss photographer Fabian Oefner has created an eye-popping new photo showing a 1972 Lamborghini Miura SV disintegrating with its individual components exploding in all directions. Here's what's crazy: Oefner actually photographed the $2 million car, spending nearly 2 years shooting and stitching the parts.

Abstract Photos of Oil Spills that Look Like Iridescent Eyes

Photographer and artist Fabian Oefner is known for his creative work with paint, oil, and even petrol. He's a master of finding beauty in chemistry, and capturing that beauty through his camera lens. Oil Spill, his most recent project, is no exception.

Beautiful Photos Created by Letting Petrol Evaporate on a Glass Plate

Artist and photographer Fabian Oefner is constantly working out new and interesting ways to create his art—whether it's splattering paint using a spinning drill bit or 'disintegrating' a car piece by piece. For his latest series 'Corona,' he turned his attention to petrol and achieved unexpectedly beautiful results.

Photographer Coats a Ferrari in an Explosion of Color with UV Paint and a Wind Tunnel

It's safe to say photographer Fabian Oefner -- whose many projects have never failed impress us -- has a thing for paint and physics.

Usually this means spraying, spinning and otherwise manipulating it to create colorful, abstract images against a black background. But when Ferrari asked him to capture the essence of their new California T in images, he took his signature art/science hybrid photography to new heights to get the job done.

Behind the Scenes with Fabian Oefner and His Stunning New ‘Orchids’ Series

Photographer Fabian Oefner's work with paint -- all part of his "Paint Action" or "Three" cycle of photo series -- never ceases to impress. His previous Black Hole and Liquid Jewels series highlighted the effects of centrifugal force and air pressure on paint, respectively.

The final series in the cycle, Orchids, explores the effects of gravity -- and, as always, it does so in the most colorful (and messy) way possible. What's more, this time we have a chance to watch him work behind the scenes!

Liquid Jewels: Photos of Paint-Covered Balloons Milliseconds After They Pop

Back in March, we shared Swiss photographer Fabian Oefner's Black Holes series of photographs showing paint being flung outwards by a spinning drill. We told you then that Oefner's stated goal was to "harness elemental forms of natural phenomena and capture them in the most stunning way possible."

His most recent project takes another stab at that goal, this time using paint and modeling balloons to create a series of photographs he's calling Liquid Jewels.

Colorful Photos of Paint Being Flung by a Spinning Drill

Swiss photographer Fabian Oefner calls himself a "curious investigator," and says that his mission is to "harness elemental forms of natural phenomena and capture them in the most stunning way possible." An example of this can be seen in his recent project titled "Black Hole," which features photos showing lines of color emanating from a "black hole."

Outer Space in a Studio: Nebulae Photos Using Fiber Glass Lamps

At first glance, the images in Fabian Oefner's Nebulae might look like images of distant galaxies captured with a space telescope. They were actually shot in a studio using a number of fiber glass lamps. Oefner used exposures of different lengths to capture the ends of the lit fiber glass as points and streaks of light. He then combined multiple images into single photos to achieve the "star density" seen in the final images.
