Atmosphere...


An atmospheric photograph, a little bit creepy but rather beautiful light. Enjoy.

Amazing skin...

This model has the most amazing skin I have ever seen. The hats are all well and nice, but you completely forget about those when you see the model. She's simply glowing. Enjoy.

Good design...



I absolutely love design like this, it's definitely reminiscent of Bauhaus and Russian avant garde design from the 20's-30's. Beautiful, enjoy. If your in London try to check out the new exhibition at the Tate Modern on Constructivism

The Selby homeonwers...



Some of the interesting characters from the website, The Selby. Which showcases creative peoples' beautiful homes. An inspiration to how outrageous you can be, and still have an amazing home. Enjoy

Colour...





Beautiful color effects in these Miu Miu ad campaigns featuring Katie Holmes. I absolutley love the cold and warm colors projected onto her skin it reminds me of paintings wher the artist has inhanced a skin tone by introducing cool and warm accents. Beautiful.

Clutter? what clutter?


Its alright she's a stylist, she has an excuse for having that many things. But woah what a stuffed little apartment. Talk about visua overload, Enjoy.

You've got dolls in your pants...

Hilarious and eye catching photograph of a woman with dolls in her pants. I like the broken silhouette the dolls create, its unexpected. Enjoy

Drapery...

I love the luxurious feel of this photograph, I think its because the model appears to be draped in a beautful silky fabric. The hair and make-up give a nice contrast to what would otherwise be a traditional fashion photograph. The lighting and fabric also remind me of classical paintings of nudes. Enjoy

Plaza in it's hayday...




Wonderful photographs capturing the spirit of the Plaza hotel as it was back in the day. A brilliant record of the social scene in New York in the 60's. Enjoy.

A cold misty morning...




Beautiful, serene photographs of a misty mountain. I like how the mist makes it so the camera can only record what is closest, it makes a huge mountain/valley feel much more enclosed.

3 Pheasants...

A photograph I took in Borough market of hanging pheasants. I really like the simplicity of it. Enjoy

Walking on lace...


I love this lace patterned floor, what an amazing idea. Wouldn't it make a great kitchen floor, to contrast with the cold industrial feel of the appliances etc in kitchens. Beautiful.

Ethereal Kate...




Beautiful photograph of Kate Moss for W magazine from a few years ago. I love this type of photography, where experimental practice can overlap with commercial uses. Enjoy.

Not quite minimal...

I like the livable quality of this home, it's a bit too conservative for my taste, but I like the evidence of it being lived in. Enjoy

Let it out...

Brilliant raw feelings in the movement and expression of the model in this photo. I also love the stark white lighting used, it enhances the scene, and exxagerates the minimal color palette. Enjoy

Launch Party...


It was the Beyond the Valley LFW launch party for their new collection last night. I was lucky enough to be there and it was a great event. London's press and fashionistas descended onto the scene happily dancing and drinking the night away for four hours. Fabulous. And I managed to get a gift bag.

Anna Wolf's 'Little Books'









Adorable sketchbook by Anna Wolf. I love how simple and effective the pages, and her mixing of media. Enjoy

Stunning...


Gorgeous photograph from Vanity Fair.com. I love the ballet it's such a beautiful form of expression, I especially love in this image, the comparison between the immaculately dressed dancers and the backstage feel of the surroundings. Enjoy.

A break from the bizarre...


Now for something less strange. I absolutely love the lighting in these photographs, it completely changes them from being what could be dull to being really intriguing. The people almost look metallic. Enjoy.

Are those sweets?.. No they're clothes...




Talk about strange fashions, those are some weird clothes. They photograph really well, they have interesting silhouettes, and movement but I don't think you could ever actually wear them. Pretty and strange. Enjoy.

Presenting... Alice...

After posting the last photographs, which reminded me of Alice in Wonderland, I found this! It's Alice herself, I love the style of clothes and makeup on the model, they mature the story a bit. The lighting is really effective, they somehow make it feel like she's inside a dollhouse. Enjoy.
