I just stumbled on this great portfolio, full of quiet + simple film photography by Marija Strajnic. The stillness of the majority of her portfolio creates a nice backdrop for the photos that do have some action (like #5).

Oswald Cromheecke, a Belgian art student, couples satirical nods to pop culture with grim cross sections of familiar, if not unfortunate, scenarios. See: Teletubbies at war.
