I used melissa rodwells ‘The boys collection’ for inspiration recently for a shoot i did based around grunge and androgyny.
I was really happy with the success of these images

I looked at Guy Aroch for one of my projetcs recently. These were my two favourite images by him.
The second i am in love with especially. I really like how delicate and romantic it is, the way the light catches on the girls lips and highlights her hair.
I came across melodie mcdaniel’s work very recently, and instantly she became one of my favourites. Alot of her work is shot using film photography. Her images can be found in magazines such as Dazed and Confused, Interview, Vogue Homme International and GQ.
aswell as being a still photographer she is also director who works with equal fluency between the worlds of fashion, music, fine art and commercials.
I love the cinematic feel her images portray.
Apart from being a photographer, Paul is a published poet, writer, journalist, a director and avid surfer. His work has a unique sensitive style which is cinematic blended with a distinct metaphoric narrative.
I love the romanticism these images convey, the sunlight coming through the window/the leaves, the creamy pastel colour. The look so effortless and classical.
WOW!
Dresses by Maison Martin, Margeila Artisanal and Valentino.
One day i hope to be working and photographing amazing clothing by amazing designers like these! :)
I usually don’t like really bright, in your face, fashion images; they’re just not what appeals to me… but i LOVE these images! i think its because they’re not as saturated as say David Lachapelle’s nor do they hold the same connotations as his. They’re very simple, elegant and beautiful images. It may also be there is alot of white and skin coloured tones within the images too.
I really like the creative make up used, I hope to do something with extreme makeup soon for my personal work ^_^
A year ago, on my foundation course for my FMP i produced some 3D aswell as a short film as an installation.
(more of my FMP 3D work can be seen here http://estefaniaaviles.daportfolio.com/gallery/393532
My FMP was based around fairytales, well more like what i had made of them whilst i was growing up. I built up these images in my mind which have stayed with me since. This along with the films i grew up watching and the books i grew up reading influenced these as i wanted to create an image the viewer not only could enjoy and see, but experience it also .. i want them to get lost in the images. So i made them 3D. This is a style of photograph i hope to develop as i learnt a lot about what works when creating a 3D image.
Recently while roaming around on the internet for inspiration i can across a series Jacques Dequeker had done with 3D imaging.
I really like the experience you get with looking at 3D images as it make them very interesting to look at as it makes you feel you can touch the subject. however, personally i prefer the images when they have more of a background rather than just a studio backdrop ad it makes the images seem more real, as if you’re just looking through a window into this scene.
I have a great admiration for those photographers such as Athur Elgort who have been around since fashion photography really started to make its mark on the work, and are still working in the industry even into their late 70’s like Elgort.
His images, both old and new capture a sense of elegance and grace, yet constantly adapting to the change within the industry.
I really like the way his images look as though they have just popped out of a fashion fairytale.
I really like the fairtale feel to Sofia Sanchez and Mauro Mongiello’s work, a photography couple specialising in Avant Garde fashion photography. The colours in these images make them look serene and magical.
