When you gaze at 31-year-old Mexican photographer Jamie Martinez's work, you are instantly transported to another world, like Alice through the rabbit hole. Using an old school 3D camera, Martinez shoots sweaty concert scenes or romantic garden shots; the output (formatted in .gif files) is grainy yet devlishly hypnotic. Some background scoop on Martinez is below (via Dazed Digital):

DD: Your animated gifs add an interesting third dimension to your photography. What inspired you to do this?

JM: I started to do my first attempts with my digital camera, but then some months ago I found one of those vintage 3D cameras. The first inspiration was to do the "same photos" I have been doing for years but  with another touch, to make them alive. But then I realized I didn't want to repeat the same photos, but to find specific moments and situations that look impressive with this technique. It doesn't work with all situations.

“Your voice sounds so sexy in this absolutely fresh song!”

Never Again

“I really like you doing pure pop music like this song, but the problem with it is that it encourages the white culture and wants it to be exclusive to you and Britney, etc. etc. You stayed away from that sin in your second solo album and it is easier for someone like me to look at you as an artist and a friend now. I am just saying that I want pop culture to be inclusive and you have done a lot towards that end.”

“That's cool. I was watching your three movies, "Alpha Dog," "Southerland Tales," "Black Snake Moan" nonstop last night and tonight and I can't learn enough from your sensitivity to the lower class. I have a lot to learn from you as someone that uses his gifts for the betterment of the society. I am so inspired by the roles that you pick and even wish to follow in your tracks someday on the big screen.”
