Yanjun Cheng

Boston digital painter Yanjun Cheng creates stunning and intense portraits of ladies who reel the viewer in with their mesmerizing expressions, sometimes seductive, sometimes entirely caught in a world all their own. Other paintings allude to the masters of old, but with a clearly modern and digital signature that reminds of snapshot photography and glitching screens. Cheng’s photorealism combined with her use of dashes of bright color makes for an interesting mixture.

… at last my way opened, the trees thinned a little; presently I beheld a railing, then the house — scarce, by this dim light, distinguishable from the trees.

Since the first time I laid eyes on this spooky Tim Burton inspired shoot from Harper’s Bazaar October 2009 issue, it’s stuck with me. I love the slightly chilling atmosphere and incredible attention to detail. Do you have a favorite Halloween themed photo?
