Imaginative Dreamlike Images

Phillip Schumacher's 'An Extraordinary Mind' Favors Self-Portraits

It's been a while since I came across such imaginative self-portraits as those within Phillip Schumacher's 'An Extraordinary Mind'. What made these captures that much sweeter was discovering that the talented photographer behind this series is a mere 16 years old -- talk about up-and-coming talent!

Phillip Schumacher's An Extraordinary Mind explores dreamlike worlds and seems to take viewers on a journey into the intense imagination of this young man. This photographic collection can be added to Schumacher's claim to fame, alongside his wildly popular 'Cosmic Love' captures.

Implications - Talent is something that is discovered by many at a young age, making the introduction of internship opportunities are invaluable to modern companies. These such companies looking to capitalizing on promising talents should look toward offering opportunities to up-and-coming artists and students like Phillip Schumacher.
