1. Geoffrey H. Short
Geoffrey H. Short is a photographer based in Auckland, New Zealand. The first two are from his series, Towards another (Big Bang) theory (2009). He stages explosions using a mix of gunpowder and fossil fuels and then captures them on camera giving them an isolated tone that lingers between "terror and sublime." You can read more on his blog.
2. Joschi Herczeg and Daniele Kaehr
Joschi Herczeg and Daniele Kaehr work with pyrotechnics that connect to the camera to capture light explosions - using the explosions as the material of the works and playing with chance. "The explosions take place in a domestic setting to play upon feelings of anxiety and unrest" (We Find Wildness).
