Photographic artist / cultural researcher
This week it’s “Attend Border’s book festival”. It’s a book festival that takes place every July in Melrose, Scotland. They have poetry and fiction readings and an artist-in-residency programme (which I might apply for next year ;)).
Not much else to say, really. Website is here.
This week it’s Janne Parviainen’s images of rooms light-painted (is that even a word? Let me know in the comments…) with one LED light. These are amazing, they are all done in-camera, with no post-processing at all. Doing what he calls “Light typography”, he traces over the room’s surfaces with an LED while the camera’s shutter is open (which is what light painting is, essentially ;)). This images wouldn’t look out of place in the Tron universe.
What do you think of them? Are they too much work for the result they give?

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?

Hello again, I’m back to continue my series on inspiring and incredible images. This one is “Beauty School Drop-out” by Michael David Adams. The images are gaudy, with candy-couloured hair and strong makeup. This is reminiscent of Charlotte Free or even Helena Bonham-Carter in some images. The tight crop of most of the images adds to the overall composition, making you really look at the model’s hair and makeup.
Also…
Watch this space, I might have an extra something-something for you during the week (or even later tonight;)).

What do you think? Is the makeup with the hair too much?

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?

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?

PS: I started my photography course proper today so I’ll have work to show soon… keep in touch with the links to Tumblr and Flickr, above, too!
Apologies for the lack of posting, I had trouble with my iMac last week and then I was sick for a few days this week but I’ll get back to regular posting from now on! I also made a tumblr so go check that out. I don’t know what I’m going to do with it yet but I’ll figure it out. On to this post: number nine in my bucket list series: photograph the illuminated Eiffel Tower. Everyone should visit Paris at some point in their lives, it’s just one of those iconic cities that everyone should see (also the subject of that incredible Woody Allen film: Midnight In Paris). I’ve been to Paris once before but that was when I wasn’t that much into photography so I didn’t take any photos, I was also very young so I think my dad was in charge of photo-taking duties. I’m looking to go to Paris for Paris Photo in November (if I can get someone to go with!). I’ll get to photograph the Eiffel Tower soon!
This week on my tenth “photo shoots I’ve loved” post, I’m going to focus on a fashion story shot by Eric Guillemain for Numéro Tokyo May 2012 featuring the pink-haired beauty, Charlotte Free. The shoot is tough but girly and soft-focused at the same time, it emphasises a heavily adorned wardrobe and pink and white are the dominant colours, contrasting and offsetting the gurney, tough pose and makeup.
What do you think about this shoot? Is it too much?

This week it’s a series of videos from Peta Pixel, on historic photographic processes. These are really interesting and informative and I suggest you check them out (even if there’s a lot of them ;)).
What do you think of them?
Also, do you like this series? I’ve only been getting feedback on certain things and I’d like to know what you think about what I’m doing. I have a lot of ideas for this blog and I should probably tighten up what I’m doing so give me your thoughts in the comments, thank you!
