The Magic of Film

Today I thought I’d take a break from the usual fashion and music posts and instead write about one of my other passions; Photography.

As I was looking through the many lovely photos on the Lomography site, I came across some really gorgeous ones, which have inspired me to want to get a film camera. Although digital cameras have more settings and are alot more practical for photographers to use in any situation, film cameras have a wonderful spontaneous style to them. Anyway, what can be more exciting than waiting for your films to be developed to see the final result?

Solve Sundsbo–Perroquet

I love this series of photos from fashion photographer, Solve Sundsbo. 'Perroquet' is a series of colourful pictures of parrots in flight. He uses both brightly coloured and dark backgrounds to contrast with the beautiful plumage of the parrots feathers. I first saw his unique photos on the album artwork for Friendly Fires second album 'Pala', which is one of my favourite albums. The album artwork goes well with the feel of the summery album. It goes together perfectly. Take a look at sundsbo's collection of photos here...

Fashion Photographers and Artists Equal Ambition to Capture Beauty.

Hey readers, I thought I would show you this picture I drew earlier of a Calvin Klein model. As a fashion lover and artist, I've flipped through endless piles of magazines filled with beautiful models and clothing; and have come to realise that fashion photographer's and artists are not all that different. They're all out to capture the beauty and character of someone or something; whether that be through the strokes of a pencil or a carefully angled camera. The purpose will always be to capture emotion, attitude or beauty through their natural precision.
