Photoshoots I’ve loved #15

This week on the fifteenth post in my series on “photo-shoots I’ve loved”, its David Jordan’s long exposure, out of focus images of fireworks. I’m always fascinated by long-exposure photographs so I think these are amazing, they look like abstract paintings. (They wouldn’t look out-of-place on a gallery wall either – it’s the wannabe curator in me coming out!). The composition is perfect, the viewer is immediately drawn towards the middle of the photograph, to the centre of the firework.

What do you think of them? Do you think they are too “arty”?

Considering I’m a photographer, I’ll let these images speak for themselves. They’re from a campaign by Delaosita for their F/W’12 collection.

What do you think of these images? Should they have both black and white and colour images in the series?

Photoshoot’s I’ve loved #12

Photography, photoshoot, series

Apologies for the lack of regular posts…. I’ve been sick and my iMac hasn’t been working properly. I called AppleCare today though, and wiped the hard drive so hopefully that will fix it and I’ll be back to regularly posting. So, now we’re on to the twelfth post in the “photoshoots I’ve loved” series. This week it’s Andoni and Arantxa’s images of Natalia Siodmiak for Elle Ukraine, April 2012. These are gorgeous photos. The editing almost makes them look like film photos and the simple design and sets just add to the overall look and feel of the photos. (Not much else to say, really!)

Do you like these photos? What do you think?

Photo shoots I’ve loved #11

Photography, series

This week it’s Oleg Oprisco’s incredible images. I found his portfolio on Photography Served and was immediately drawn to the images. They are ethereal, dreamy, soft focused with lots of bokeh… just what I like, really! Not much else to say about them!

What do you think of them? Do you like them as much as I do?

Monday post series #8: photoshoots I’ve loved

inspiration, Photography, photoshoot, series

Apologies for not posting on Friday. I was mega busy filming and I didn’t have a chance to sit down and write a post. Anyway, without further ado, here’s the eighth post in the “Photo shoots I’ve loved” series (can’t believe I’ve done this for two months already…). This week it’s “Calla Lily” by JP Terlizzi. This is a fine art photography series on a lily (obviously ;)) and it’s amazing. The photographs are lit by a single flash unit and are in black and white. They depict one single lily in a new, fresh, unfamiliar way.

Wednesday post series #7: what inspires me at the moment

inspiration, Photography, series

This week it’s Magnus Osterhult’s photographs of model Besa Sand. I came across these months ago on the Trend Hunter blog and I just kind of filed them away in my blogging notes and forgot about them. These are amazing. I’m of the school of thought that the more exposed a photograph is (within reason), the better it is so these photos are right up my alley! These are inspirational because I have a photo-shoot on Monday that I’m going to try a few new things out at, so these are exactly how I want these photos to look.
The photographs themselves are perfectly composed, the model is bathed in light and complemented by the dominant white colour of it. There are also light leaks and lens flare in some photos, which, usually people would say are a defect but in these photographs, they add to the capture and overall composition of the photograph.

What do you think of these photos? Are they smutty or tasteful?

Monday post series #7: photoshoots I’ve loved (Factory Fashion chanls Andy Warhol)

inspiration, Photography, series

This week its Factory Fashion’s tribute to Andy Warhol. This is amazing. The models are carbon copies of the iconic star. The colourful backgrounds and key lighting emphasise the white wigs that all the models are wearing.

What do you think of these androgynous looks? Did they go “too far”?

Monday post series #6: photoshoots I’ve loved

inspiration, Photography, series

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

inspiration, Photography, series

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?

Monday post series #5: photoshoots I’ve loved

Photography, series

On first glance, these look like mixed media rather than photo manipulations. The viewer looks first at the shape of the face and then at the face itself, which is slightly disconcerting, as we want the face to look like a face and it doesn’t. These photos are not immediately recognizable as self-portraits and I think this is what adds to their appeal.

What do you think of over manipulated photographs? Do you think this is too much manipulation?
