Italian freelance photographer Alessandra Gerevini sent in her work and it’s hard not to take notice of her raw and intimate imagery, some of which it appears is self portraiture that gets you very up close with the artist.
Art Director and Photographer Martin Donnelly has updated his experimental playground Mezzetty once again with some new and beautiful work. He has kept with his signature style so far but his portrait work has become more personal, raw and engaging.
Derek Kettela is originally from Toronto, Canada. He grew up as an snowboarding and skateboarding enthusiast, which eventually led him into the photography of action sports. From 97 to 02 he worked as a senior contributing photographer for Transworld Snowboarding magazine while living in Vancouver.
In 2003, he moved to New York City and shifted focus to fashion photography. He has since photographed for publications such as Annabelle, Fashion Magazine, Preen, Marie Claire, Black Magazine, Elle Girl, Glamour UK, Glamour Italia, Wonderland, Own Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar and GQ.
There are some strange new goings on in the portfolio of French photographer Julien Palast. He normally captures trendy imagery of cosmetics and products but some strange and interesting more human endeavors have recently been cropping up in his Behance portfolio.
Photographer Jens Ingvarsson’s images have been popping up all over the creative blogosphere in the last few days/weeks. He keeps a blog where you can check out his most current exploits but he is also represented by Exodus Media Productions where you can check out more of his work. He is a talented image maker and at first it is impossible not to pull the Terry Richardson comparison card but Ingvarsson has several tricks up his sleeve and that is only one of them.
Russian born Yulia Gorodinski is an Israel based photographer who earned an MA in English Literature from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She is also an accomplished image maker whose focus of study just so happens to be herself. Yulia takes self portrait photographs that are expertly composed and made all the more enticing by the fact that she is also incredibly attractive. It’s definitely a unique way to break into the fashion photography industry as both photographer and model in one package.
Zoren Gold and Minori Murakami have updated their unique body of photography work with more colorful, pop-fashion images of attractive and elaborately costumed and sometimes rather completely uncostumed models.
“Hello there, I’m Ashley. This is the part where I try to explain myself, but none of it really applies in real life. This should sum it up – I’m an “indie-rock-loving, thrift-store-prowling, home-made-T-shirt-wearing, blue-hair-dying misfit girl who thinks life is a 60s movie” -Whip It (Shauna Cross).
I have a thing for over-exposure. I love the city Austin.”
Chino Hills, California based photographer Philip Kupferschmidt has a cinematic eye for capturing momentary slices of quiet that play like scenes from a larger story. I absolutely love the photo above but I don’t think he tipped that cat after using the restroom and perhaps that explains the expression.
Photographer Alexandra Valenti captures a feeling from a bygone era with washed out images, naked babies, hippy garb and rainbow tints that take you back to an era about music, love and drugs. Ahh the good old days. It’s not too late to bring them back no?
Pavel Bolo is a Tel Aviv based photographer with a fashion-inspired body of work. Bolo turns that fashion inspiration into art while still managing to push himself outside his comfort zone into more contemporary imagery.
Veteran Ad photographer Tim Tadder moves around a lot and has served a list of big-name clients. His sarcastic wit and worldly experience comes through in his bright, vivid and highly composed imagery.
Soft rainbow hues weave their way through natural dreamscapes in the Flickr-folio of photographer/artist Chris Schreck.
Australian fashion photographer Thom Kerr has updated with what I guess could be described as a different kind of website. His unique brand of humor and levity towards his chosen profession comes shining through in the setup of his new site. Kerr initially graduated with a degree in film working in production design and wardrobe before finally stepping behind the lens to find his true calling.
Montreal based graphic design student Sofia Ajram’s fashion-inspired photography could in many instances be described as cosmically psychedelic. She began her career as a photographer when she was hired by Truth Explosion Magazine in 2007 as a concert photographer. Since then her work has graced publications such as Poetic Terrorism, Carpaccio Magazine, C-O-M-A Magazine, Vellum Online, EnRoute Magazine, Mossless Magazine, and Antler Magazine.
You can read more about her and her work via Bentrovatoblog.
I am inspired today by this series of fashion photographs entitled ‘Sea Creatures‘ from the photography partnership of Anoush Abrar & Aimée Hoving.
Have a look through the soft, subtle, sexy and composed fashion-inspired photography portfolio of the very talented New York based image maker Jonathan Waiter.
“I’m interested in what we define as beauty, when we choose to create it ourselves.
Beauty has always been a currency, and now that we finally have the technological means to mint our own, what choices do we make?
Is beauty informed by contemporary culture? By history? Or is it defined by the surgeon’s hand? Can we identify physical trends that vary from decade to decade, or is beauty timeless?
When we re-make ourselves, are we revealing our true character, or are we stripping away our very identity?
Perhaps we are creating a new kind of beauty. An amalgam of surgery, art, and popular culture? And if so, are the results the vanguard of human induced evolution?”
Above is photographer Phillip Toledano’s explanation for the fascinating yet disturbing photo series entitled ‘A New Kind of Beauty‘.
