L&A Artist represents some of the most talented photographers in the advertising industry. They have done work for companies ranging from Armani to Discovery Channel to Toyota and everyone in-between. Here is a small sample of some awesome fantasy portraits their photographers have created.

Derek Emmons is a professional photographer and digital artist based in Hamilton, Canada. He uses multiple styles and techniques in his work and has done numerous tutorials for Advanced Photoshop magazine. Check out some of his great work below!

Matt Wisniewski is a web developer and self-taught artist based out of Brooklyn, NY. He has been using Photoshop since he was a child, and he loves to create visual experiments through collage. His art usually begins with a portrait, and he quickly combines textures until something catches his eye. If you want to learn more about his work, check out this great interview on Yatzer.

Ryohei Hase is a freelance illustrator from Tokyo, Japan. His art is dark, surreal and beautiful all at the same time.

Love this series of digital art portraits by RISE Design Studio. The dark undertones mixed with carefully highlighted areas really makes these images stand out. If you like these, you should also check out RISE's wonderful windows series.
