Colours to forget about the dull winter: Andrew Yee Fashion Photography

Colours

I have to admit: I am a big fan of colours. So the fashion story by
Andrew Yee for the magazine "FINANCIAL TIMES: How to Spend It" (what a
name) is so lovely. Charlotte Carey in colours, colours and colours. A
real celebration of colour. Congratulations!

Wallpaper Magazine's fist move into erotic movie-making

We all know Wallpaper. For the September Issue they started their first
move into erotic move-making. It is a complex tale of mistaken identity,
passions reignited and good old girl-on-girl action, they claim.

Photoshop Effects: Glitchness - fun but too much

When it comes to editing photographs I rather keep things looking
natural. Extreme filtering and usage of Photoshop FX is cool sometimes
but doesn't it take away the soul of a photo, also?

Here are a few examples I just played around with. I ran a glitchness
filter over three photos from my series "Hussy by Nature". It gives the
idea of a broken TV but in the end it is all a bit cheesy.

Chicks and a Sheep: A summer fashion story with natural nudity by Andrew Kuykendall

Winter time is awful. Not much light, rainy and cold weather. So have a
look at the summer nostalgia brought to you by Andrew Kuykendall, a
fashion photographer from NY/LA.

I really like the atmosphere in the photos, a playful summer story like
an ode to Southern California.

Once again, it's a fashion story with nudity. So I asked Andrew why the
girls had to take their top off. He answered:

"I think the reason for toplessness is different in every shoot. For
this shoot in particular, the whole theme was summer, innocence, youth,
playfulness, freedom, etc. (not to mention that it was over 100 degrees
outside). I find that often toplessness in fashion can feel forced but
in this context all the girls were having fun and are friends and it
came natural. I think it comes across in the video as well."

Andrew provided me with some larger photographs from his shoot for Clay
Magazine as well. I love the hammock. I have one here in a corner of my
studio waiting for its mission for two years already. Hopefully this
summer I can use it.

So here is the video:

Portfolio by Lauren Ward: Full of atmosphere

La

Browsing the portfolio of Lauren Ward made me really jealous. He shoots
in such beautiful North American locations. Outdoor, backyards, streets.
This all looks awesome.

I really want to work outdoors this year, also.
