On this site you find some modern stereophotos of various members of the community. I’m really happy to have gotten permission to show them here. If possible I’ve added a link to their own website or social media and I highly recommend to pay them a visit. Among them are also some stereos I’ve taken myself. Unless otherwise stated all images are provided for parallel viewing.
If you want to know more about how to view these images, take a look at Viewing methods. For anyone who feels more comfortable by using a viewer the LSC Lite OWL is a good choice for viewing parallel stereos on screen.
Probably you’ll need to adjust the image size for a better viewing experience. The shortcuts crtl + [+] and crtl + [-] work for most browsers. Crtl + 0 brings everything back to it’s original size. If you have a Mac use cmd instead of ctrl in these shortcuts.

- Welcome to the Steampunk Menagerie
Steampunk is a genre and aesthetic inspired by Victorian-era industrialism that is simultaneously retro and futuristic. It imagines a world of advanced technology somehow powered by steam and mechanical devices rather than electric and gas engines and modern microelectronics. Steampunk mechanisms are often complex and elaborate – constructed of gears, cogs, heavy brass plates and fittings, all held together with lots of rivets, along with a liberal use of black and red leather.
These stereo views imagine a diverse steampunk menagerie in a variety of fanciful settings – from beneath the sea to outer space. Enjoy the visuals!

Vanessa and David are frequent 3D collaborators. Their collaborative work often combines traditional 3D photography, hand drawn elements, and computer-generated imagery. Their Magical Creatures series won 1st Place at the NSA 3D-Con stereocard competition in 2022 and the image Pegasus was also featured in the book Steresocopy is Good For You by Sir Brian May. In 2023, the Steampunk Menagerie series of stereo cards shown here in the gallery also won 1st Place at 3D-Con aas well as the Tex Treadwell Award 2023.

During my flight to Madeira I was very lucky to have a whole day stopover in Lisbon, which was the perfect test for my new Smartphone-Rig. It has proven itself to work well, capturing even the liveliest scenes with ease. Enjoy these six stereos that would not have been possible without this rig. Experience this beautiful and incredibly alive city in 3‑D.

I started taking my own stereoscopic images in mid-2020 when I first discovered that free-viewing stereoscopic images is possible. Since then, with every photo I take I always find an opportunity to take a second photo from a different angle to create a stereo. While hiking I discovered that increasing the distance between the two images makes it possible to see depth even in distant objects like mountains, which otherwise would have appeared flat. I use my Smartphone Camera (Pixel 4a) to take stereos of just about anything, but my preferred stereo subjects are mountains and landscapes. I recently acquired another Pixel 4a to finally be able to capture moving scenes in stereo, which has opened many new possibilities for me.
Instagram-profile: fel.3d - Polaroid Stereographic Worlds
I discovered that I could create stereographic worlds using POLAROID SX-70 cameras in the 1984. Some were standard 3D images (like the STREET LIFE Series), but by staging unusual objects and materials found in the aging industrial area of lower Manhattan, various tableaus were created and slowly evolved in my studio. With the Polaroid SX-70 cameras, I recorded the various developments steroeoptically, creating over 50 tableau’s in a 3 year period. Although 3D video is the current focus of my creative work, these stand-alone 3D polaroid creations from 3 decades ago set the tone for what was to come. Here are six samples from that original body of 3D polaroid work.

I’m a video artist who has been making inroads into the expressive possibilities of stereographic, or 3D artwork since the moving to NYC in the early 1980s. Originally a sculptor, I found my two main fields of interest naturally dovetailed together in the creation, or composing of 3D video artwork. A major innovation has been utilizing musical nomenclature in the composing process of 3D videos. My work has been featured in the International 3‑D Convention, and the Ventana Gallery and the Holography center in NYC.

Website: carltonbright.com - Phantograms from Macrophant 3D
Upon attending a National Stereoscopic Association in 2004 in Portland Oregon, I sat in on a phantogram workshop offered by Steve Hughes, and was impressed by Terry Wilson’s phantograms there. Within a few months I was creating phantograms of household objects and then of natural subjects.
These images are from my most recent book “Macrophant 3D”, published at the end of 2020 in collaboration with Jim McManus. It is a collection of 60 macro phantograms. In the book they’re shown in anaglyph, parallel view and cross-eyed view.

Before 2003 my photography was mostly black & white medium format portrait shots. I first stumbled into stereo photography upon seeing a stereoscope at an antique store and was immediately fascinated, and started creating stereo images.
In May 2005 I self-published his first book, “Phantograms from Nature, Western USA”. My next was a children’s book “Pop-Up 3D” in 2007. “Eye-Popping 3‑D Pets” in 2009, and “Eye-Popping 3‑D Bugs” in 2011 were published by Chronicle Books and later re-published in Italian and Japanese. In 2009 I self-published “Crossview 3‑D”, a collection of cross-eyed view images by twenty-six stereographers.
Since 2010 I have produced an image blog each week that I email to those interested in receiving them. The many years of his “image-of-the-week” blog can be accessed here.
Since creating my first book I have presented phantogram workshops at numerous NSA and ISU conventions and exhibited at several Maker Faire and various science fair events, as well as having been showcased at several gallery events in southern California.

Instagram-profile: 3ddigitalphoto - Landscapes of Scotland and Wales
I have been trying to capture the beauty of Scotland (my home country) and Wales (where I live now) in 3D. These landscapes proved a great way to learn how to make the most of the depth from single-lens cha-chas and with the limited baseline of the Fuji Finepix 3D W3. Of course, much credit must also go to my dog Punky, who provided a great focal point for many of my W3 landscapes.

I am a trainer and climate advocate for a nearby company. I am very new to stereoscopic photography. However, I have been an advocate of 3D all my life, ever since I saw comics drawn in that red/green anaglyph, and also a frightening experience as a child watching Jaws 3 in 3D. Rubbish film –great 3D! I also very much enjoy 3D gaming via my Oculus VR headset. It was Brian May and his book ‘Queen in 3‑D’ which set me on my stereo photo journey in October 2021. I love that book, particularly Brian’s explanations regarding how to take 3D pics with a single-lensed camera.
Instagram-profile: shaolin_monkey - Short Stop in Barcelona
I always wanted to visit Barcelona. So, during my visit at Foticos Collection I took the chance to spend half a day in Barcelona on my way from Germany to Zaragoza and back. Because I only had a few hours I had to choose instead of just walking around. I basically visited the famous Sagrada Família cathedral and La Rambla. All of these photos were taken with two synced iPhones 11 Pro.

I’m born in 2004 and in my first year at university studying Physics, and I would like to become an astrophysicist in the future. I love reading, listening to music, playing the guitar and the piano and, of course, taking 3D photos. I started making stereos in 2021, and now it has become one of my biggest hobbies.
