Lara Zankoul- 1/27/15

Lara Zankoul is a digital photographer from Lebanon. She started photographing every day for a year in 2008. While her personal website doesn't give out that much information about herself, she takes really interesting photos. I first saw her very famous photo on a tumblr account. (The Unseen, work of 5 shots). Since then, I have seen a couple of her other photos. She deals with very interesting and not often seen work. For example, one whole series of photographs she did, she shot in a tank. The tank was decorated to look old fashioned and she had models inside the tanks.

When I first saw her work, I thought it was all photoshop, but after watching a very informative clip on YouTube I realized she actually does all her photography for real. I don't understand photoshop that well, so many thats why I thought that. Because of the realness and the things she creates just to get one successful shot I appreciate her more work a lot more now. The video below demonstrates a actual project she did, and shows the strenuous amount of work from the models, the lights, and the camera for some really cool, different photos.
