Inspiration of the month: Anna Jagodzinska by Hedi Slimane in Soft Machine

Inspiration of the month: Anna Jagodzinska by Hedi Slimane in Soft Machine | Vogue Nippon August 2010

This one inspired me for it's pure sheer/lacy/bed headed sexyness, and dark and beautiful black and white.

Clad in lacey black garments styled by fashion editor Mika Mizutani, Anna Jagodzinska is the very definition of the word vixen in her most recent work for August’s Vogue Nippon. Shot in black and white by Hedi Slimane, Anna dons designs from labels such as Burberry, Lanvin, and Sonia Rykiel in Soft Machine.

Miranda Kerr by Greg Kadel in La Mauvaise Éducation | Numéro #114

Greg Kadel takes inspiration from Catholic nuns and schoolgirls with this naughty spread from Numéro’s June-July edition. Starring a strawberry blonde Miranda Kerr, the story captures the commercial model as she continues her journey into high fashion with revealing ensembles from the likes of Burberry, Dolce & Gabanna and Jean Paul Gaultier. Styled by Patti Wilson, La Mauvaise Éducation isn’t afraid to push the limits with sex, blasphemy and fashion.

iPhone Photography & Hipstamatic

I have always been a bit of a technology enthusiast. As a young child I had a very keen interest in all sorts of computers be they old or new. This expensive interest in technology has continued throughout most of my life. As a teenager with only a small interest in photography I was always fascinated by all the old analog cameras. Everything about them fascinated me. From the lenses, the flashes, the films. I think the way they looked and sounded is something that’s lost on most digital cameras today. 

 

With the ever increasing development of mobile phones and more specifically the Apple iPhone, along came an App that lets us have analog photos in a digital age. Yes, finally I would be able to take the sort of photos that have always fascinated me but without the need for lots of extra gear. I often only have my phone to hand and want to be able to take a photo.

Hipstamatic allows you to take images, and then share them by uploading directly to Facebook, Flickr or via email. The thing I like most about the app is its simplicity and ease of use. It really does bring back the unpredictable beauty of analog cameras from days gone by. 

 

I blame my girlfriend for my current infatuation for Hipstamatic, if she had never told me about it; I would have no idea about the endless combinations of film, flash and lenses. But with 6 lenses + 7 flash options + 8 films = 336 different combinations, that’s a lot of experimenting to be done. Luckily I stumbled upon this “Ultimate Hipstamatic Guide” and they’ve taken the time to shoot/document every possible combination.

What are your views on Apps like Hipstamatic and bringing the past into a digital format?

What do you look for in a Blog?

Hello everyone,

I follow a lot of blogs, and I've noticed how people have their own 'in house' style within their own blogs; always concentrating on the same or similar content with every post. I was curious to know if they do it because it's what their readers want, or if it's a convenience thing. Which got me think wondering, what do you look for in a blog? (Relating to the photography/modelling industry)

- Long stories?

- Photoshoot photos?

- Behind the scenes photos?

- Retouching Tutorials? (Before and After etc)

- Random Photography related posts?

- Personal Projects?

- Inspirational Photos?

What grabs your attention and really keeps you coming back to a blog time and time again, would you like to be able to participate more within a blog? I.E. challenges and competitions?
