Imagine | The Colourful Mr Eggleston

Today I would like to share one of file for my class assignment. 

"William Eggleston is one of the most influential and original photographers alive today.
A Mississippi aristocrat with a fondness for guns, drink and women, he dragged colour into the world of art photography. Reviled in the 1970s, he is now considered a legend whose unique visual style has influenced generations of photographers and filmmakers.
Imagine shows the normally shy and elusive Eggleston at work – taking photographs on the road, in and around his home town of Memphis."

After watch this film, in the beginning of the film, I thought Mr. Eggleston will be the stubborn old man who won't change what he is because how he react to the audience about asking him questions But, I was wrong...Mr. Egglestone had big step of changing from B&W to Color!!!! and love that his wife said to should ugly things after the world change.

This film show that if you need photos, you need to go find them like Mr. Egglestone do even he shoot the everyday life but you need to go find it outside your room sometimes such as his famous photo of the red room of his doctor friend. I also love the way he shoot the photo...one scene one shoot!!! He doesn't have to sit down and have a headache which photo he need to pick late on.

I wonder is he like all of his photos that he took?

The Sartorialist Creator

Today...I would like you to meet the creator of The Sartorialist!! which is one of my favorite fashion website and help me open to the world of fashion.

Founder/blogger/photographer Scott Schuman began The Sartorialist with the idea of creating a two-way dialogue about the world of fashion and its relationship to daily life.

In addition to the blog, Schuman’s work has been featured in GQ, Vogue Italia, Vogue Paris, andInterview; for GQ, Schuman shot and edited his own page for over three years.

Schuman has appeared in national ad campaigns for The Gap and Verizon, and collaborated with Kiehl’s on an exclusively commissioned product and campaign surrounding Father’s Day.

Nespresso, DKNY Jeans, Gant, OVS, Crate & Barrel, and Absolut have all commissioned ad campaigns. Burberry, meanwhile, tapped Schuman to shoot the groundbreaking social media-cum-advertising “Art of the Trench” project.

In 2009 Penguin published an anthology of his images that has sold well over 100,000 copies to date and been translated into languages from English to Korean. Its limited-run Bespoke Edition sold out in less than three months.

His work resides in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography.

STANLEY KUBRICK SHOOTS THE N.Y.C. SUBWAY, 1946

Today I would like to take you back to the CLASSIC WORLD... to ...Black and White!!!

In the summer of 1945, Stanley Kubrick, many years before he was the acclaimed director of Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and A Clockwork Orange, had a series of photographs published in LOOK magazine, a competitor to LIFE. He was just 16 years old. Thus would begin a relationship with the magazine that would last several years, until he began making movies in earnest around the age of 23, in the early 1950s.

Fashionably Dressed Animals with Miguel Vallinas Prieto

Today I would like to introduce you to a new idea of creating your own models to shoot your own photos.

Interested in the idea of anthropomorphism, Madrid-based photographer Miguel Vallinas retouched animal photographs and made it appear as though they were wearing human clothes.  Though an initial reaction may be to dismiss Vallinas’ images as something of a cliché, the richness of the photographs combined with the humor have a charm to them that is alluring and endearing. Segundas Pieles (Second Skins), is an ongoing project that explores notions beyond anthropomorphism.  In fact, Vallinas’ photographs seem to accurately investigate concepts such as psychology, stereotyping and personality.  The images of the primly dressed swan, or the melancholy donkey portray emotion and narrative beyond simple humor.

Attempting to depict the way he imagined different animals would dress if they had the ability to, Vallinas plays off our preconceived ideas of what our clothing choices signify and what we may, even subconsciously, believe about certain animals, certain people and ourselves.

Seem like Miguel Vallinas is happy with the results: “It shows possible personalities not available to us humans.”

Miniaturesque: New Exhibition by Slinkachu Launches At Andipa Gallery

Credit: Made in Shoreditch Magazine, 10th March 2015, Art & Culture

Great exhibition...that I would love to get the plane ticket and fly to London to see it with my own eye. It's very elegant and love how Slinkachu set up the composition of the miniaturesque to photograph the scenes...very creative.

Miniaturesque, a major new exhibition by Slinkachu, will launch at Andipa Gallery on 12th March 2015. Shot in London during different seasons over the past year, Slinkachu’s new body of work draws upon our desire to seek out and recreate the natural world amongst the urban metropolis. His miniature people, photographed on the streets of London and then left in situ – or “abandoned” – by the artist, explore the hidden enclaves of the wild within our city. Slinkachu captures idyllic glades and green pastures, in reality weeds and moss that appear through cracks in the concrete, and comment on our modern society’s detachment from nature.

Using tropes from art and popular culture, Slinkachu’s new works employ irony, humour and a healthy dose of reality; despite their fantastical situations, the miniature figures we observe are not so dissimilar to ourselves, living in the shadows between the real and artificial.

Miniaturesque will feature seventeen new images on paper and aluminium as well as new sculptural pieces, one of which is Slinkachu’s biggest yet featuring over 200 miniature figures in a recreation of The River Thames.
