2 in 1








These photographs are just simply amazing!
From the stillness of the models and set, to the colours, to the artistic direction, it all seems to fit seamlessy to create very powerful images.

I love finding new things that peak my interest and keep me on my toes, and help me evolve as an artist and photographer - or just purely as a person - so i found this very inspiring!

Here is what Suzy Bubble had to say:

"Photographer Peter Lippmann has collaborated with Christian Louboutin a number of times on campaigns, exploiting his still life set-up expertise. [...] Each A/W 11-12 Louboutin shoe or accesory worked into the portrait also ties in with the character of the painting as well as the woman depicted. 
Re-enactment of famous artworks in a fashion editorial context isn't anything new of course but there's a certain distinct lushness that Lippmann brings to the portraits, and it is clear that he is interested in capturing the light and certain characteristics of the original paintings in his photographs as opposed to creating straight forward replicas.  There is also the surreal aspect of seeing a Louboutin shoe in say an 15th century Renaissance portrait or on Whistler's mother's lap [...] but it's quite interesting to see when more traditionally symbolic or allegorical items such as a cross or a skull has been replaced by those famous red-sole shoes - something that the legions of women who worship at the alter of Louboutin won't have a problem with."

From The style Bubble (go here to see the photos next to the inspiration and their title/artists, it is good)

Sunday life

















Double exposed roll, first shots that go from a month ago to the doubled, that span a week...
Life is so good lately, i think i need to calm down on it...it is hard to stop yourself from going over %100 into it when it is good, but there are things (like responsibilities) constantly in the back of your mind that i think need some major attention...oooh my oh my

Sunday

Beautiful people, beautiful spirits, beautiful afternoon.
Chilling with the Vortex Voodoo Poet Magic babe that is Caro.
Then came the sensational homemade Sushi (thank you Scott!) 
and impromptu polaroid shoot with the beautiful Kelty.

Overall for what seemed to be a pretty boring Sunday,
life delivered.

Check the Polaroids here!

the practice


new things 
some beginnings
practice makes it
gotta push it

I've been m.i.a. lately, so sorry. 
Have many negatives just waiting to be scanned
and then all sorts of things didn't happen
and then all sorts happened 
and then some.

Love
