Russian artist Stanislav Aristov offers something different with his “Спички” (“matchsticks” in Russian) series wherein he was able to bring out the best in a simple matchstick. As the matchstick burns, Aristov bends it according to his desired shape. He then captures the fire and the smoke around it with a macro lens and a studio flash. And as for the finishing touches and polishing, he makes use of Photoshop. ♥
