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but it's quite interesting to see when more traditionally symbolic or allegorical items such as a cross or a skull has been replaced by those famous red-sole shoes - something that the legions of women who worship at the alter of Louboutin won't have a problem with."

Saturday

A few words to describe the last week/today: 

laryngitis delirium, no voice, raspy voice, projector madness, frustrating, jokes, dancing, treasure fingers, hectic, styling, voodoo, witchy, new creatives, new collaborators, sick results.

Photos are a little preview of some possible edits from the shoot i did today(soon on the website or also some on flickr) - already have some different versions in store, they may stay like that, they may be totally different, i just had to play around with them today at least a little bit, and share!

Off now for a very much needed soul/body reboot.

YES

Sometimes I wish i could just inhale fashion things...

You know?

Blonde Abbey

 = 

amazing.

I did a drawing a while back

before I even really knew who she was.

I had seen her before,

but didn't get how great she is (or i think)

until i did drawings from an editorial,

and, 

love.

She did this about a month ago, 

but i mean,

  I just had her flash in my mind just now, and had to.

had to look at these.
