For this month’s “Photographer Showcase“, we’re going out on the proverbial limb to give you a fresh new perspective on the human form. And I do mean “fresh”. Photographer Allan I. Teger‘s “Bodyscapes” gallery are a series of sensual, erotic, black and white photographs of the nude body which give the impression of landscape. These unique landscapes are created by photographing toys and miniature “people” directly on the human body, not by any computer generated montage. Teger started shooting the series in 1976 and new images are still being added.
It’s a bit of a walk on the wild side but the whimsical nature of the photographs makes you almost forget the miniature figurines are actually positioned on nude bodies. Almost.

Omni-1. A combining form denoting all, every, everywhere; as in omnipotent, all-powerful; omnipresent; omnivorous.
Phantasmic-1. Something apparently seen but having no physical reality; a phantom or an apparition. Also called phantasma.2. An illusory mental image. Also called phantasma.3. In Platonic philosophy, objective reality as perceived and distorted by the five senses.
North Carolina based photographer Neil Craver’s “Omni-Phantasmic” photography is “meant to be consumed with your emotions, and not simply perceived with your sense organs“. Craver wanted “to create an under tow of messages to stress the strong influences of unconscious elements affecting and driving people’s lives” so why not “dive into the cloudy placid waters of the subconscious world to uncover a linkage between the conscious and the subconscious mind“?
