Dave Hill

Dave Hill has gained a giant movement in manipulated imagery these days. Most people refer to the "Dave Hill Look" and what they are referring to is the texture of his images that feels almost cartoon-ish. He goes through an extremely complicated process to get most of his images this way which includes manipulating the models to reflect the action he portrays, as well as following shadows of each character and makes sure that each of which is in the proper place. What I like about Hill's work is the fact that for every manipulated image he does there is a 35mm black and white image to match and his straight photography has the same elegance that his manipulated imagery has.
