Some nice work by the Italian/Canadian photography duo, Leda (the Italian) and St. Jacques (the Canadian). They’ve been making lots of noise in Canada’s fashion scene. Take a peek at their work at Productions L’Eloi. There seems to be a lot of hair on the blog lately!
Smack dab in the middle of Dirk Rees’ über-glossy fashion and advertising portfolio I found some lovely shots from his personal work.
Flora Hanitijo grew up in Montreal Canada and she currently lives, and snaps photos, in New York.
One of the latest trends on the net is the “blog aggregator”. A hub site that collects and displays content from numerous sites and becomes a sort of one-stop shop for a particular niche. Alltop, Popurls, Hypem, Preik - there’s tons of them popping up. However I wasn’t aware of one for the street fashion scene, until today!
Streetstyl.es just launched and if your job is related to fashion or trend hunting in general, you’ll want to bookmark this one!
Some really fun photography from Gemma Booth. Apparently fashion photography doesn’t always have to include a bunch of naked girls! It must be pretty tough for Booth to take a bad picture when her shoots are so fantastically art-directed and brilliantly styled. Love the series with the little robot!
Your life is officially over. Well, if you are at all interested in fashion it is. I came across Lookbook about a month ago and my productivity went sub-zero for quite awhile. Aspiring fashionistas upload photos of themselves and attach details of exactly what they’re wearing - photos are hyped up and aggregated on the main page. Simple concept, perfect execution.
I recently discovered the photography of Ye Rin Mok, who has shot for the likes of Anthen, Nylon, Tokion, Theme, Spin, Monocle, and the list really does go on. Looking through Mok’s portfolio I discovered a large number of the photos in which the subject is actually facing away from the camera. I found the gallery jarring, and really quite powerful.
I took a class in art school called Vision, Perception and Science and we learned that there is a little sensor in the brain that is constantly looking for faces. This is why the bumper and headlights on a car look like a smiling face, and also why there is such tension in these photos. There are no faces in these portraits. MORE…
Great fashion photography by Vancouver’s own André Pinces. I met him last year and you’d be hard pressed to meet a nicer guy. Actually, you’d be hard pressed to meet him at all, with the schedule he’s got going on. When he’s not out creating personal work, he’s running around shooting for many international publications, including Surface, Vice, and US Weekly.
