This is incredible. It’s a time-lapse video put together entirely by shots taken by the astronauts on board the International Space Station. It shows the rotation of the earth and the stars from the window of the ISS and from a space shuttle.

Monday post series #6: photoshoots I’ve loved
This week it’s Michael Ostermann’s fashion illustrations. These are amazing, they are both disturbing (some models have their mouths sewn shut) and beautiful at the same time. The digital effects Ostermann used contrast with the model and give a surreal look to the photos. A crown of thrones in some photos point to a Christian theme.

What do you think of these? Did Ostermann go “too far” when manipulating these?

Wednesday post series #5: what inspires me at the moment
I know I’m a day behind, I was out for dinner last night and didn’t get home til late, I’ll be more diligent next week with posting on the day I’m supposed to! This week it’s “Two Of Us”, a photographic project by Fan Shi Shan. This is amazing, it’s a portrait series on people who grew up during China’s one-child policy. It is a comment on that policy and on what could have been. The photographs themselves are haunting as they could have been a reality, if the child had been born in another country.

What do you think of this series? Is it a comment on China‘s policies or is too “out there” to suggest that the policy is backwards?

Tuesday post series #5: vidoes I’ve loved
This week its a short from Italian Vogue named “Rico The Bulls**t Dodger”. This is awesome. It’s short entirely in black and white, the model is dressed impeccably (obviously) and his face is painted like a Day of The Dead sugar skull. I think that adds to the piece as a whole, as it is completely out of the ordinary and so memorable. The Spanish mariachi band-style music that the model is dancing too adds to the piece also.
Tuesday post series #4: vidoes I’ve loved
This incredible. It’s a time-lapse of European cities. It’s shot so well, there’s no flicker between shots, the transitions are smooth. Plus it’s shot with the camera I own, so it’s amazing to see what could be done with it!
Monday post series #4: photoshoots I’ve loved
This week it’s “Shelving the Body” by Darragh Casey. This is really interesting, it’s a different take on the “I’ll photograph my family with their possessions” kind of shoot. The composition is great, it doesn’t take away from any part of the photo and each object is given equal weight and prominence in the photograph. This is an inspiration-type post for me, too as I’m looking to start an archive project but I need ideas on what to do.
Friday post series: #4: bucket list
So this week it’s “Bake 10 types of cupcakes“. I’ve never even baked ONE type so this will be hard! The last time I tried to bake cupcakes, they turned out horribly wrong.
So here’s the list:
1. Vanilla
2. Chocolate
3. Peanut butter (yes, that’s a thing ;))
4. Strawberry
5. Red Velvet
6. Pumpkin (really want to try this!)
7. Banana
8. Mocha / coffee
9. Tiramisu
10. Lemon
Tuesday post series #3: vidoes I’ve loved
This week it’s “Much Better Now”. This is incredible, it’s a mixed-media short film about a bookmark who falls out of his book and goes on an amazing adventure! The character itself is quite likable, I think and the narrative is solid and runs through the whole video.
Monday post series #3: photoshoots I’ve loved
This week it’s Roman Gorchakov’s images of Ekaterina for Touchpuppet. I loved this shoot. The colours are amazing, they colourful clothes are complimented by the yellow cast dominant in most of the photos. The lighting suggests a dreamy quality to the images and compliments the model.
Wednesday post series #2: what inspires me at the moment
I’m currently in pre-production for a couple of advertisements for my local Credit Union (with Chai Media, obviously ;)) so I’ve been looking at their other ads for some inspiration. None of them are very inspiring, seeing as we want to take a different stance on this and do something completely out of the ordinary. Therefore I’ve been inspired by the following:
