Here is a first set of fashion photographs I have taken at the 2009 Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival.
Antipodium fashion label was established in 2006. It began with a one-off collection for London’s Antipodium boutique. Finch and company founder Ashe Peacock and his sister Fenella, to combine their designs with her experience and create a new range for the store. Antipodium gained an instant popularity and the trio turned their attentions to the project full-time. In each of their five major collections Antipodium has remained true to a simple aesthetic: unique, beautiful pieces that are clever, remarkably cool and undeniably sexy.
This photograph of a photographer taking photograph of a model with tattooed stars on her arm in the George Street reminds me of a dialog I had recently on an Internet forum on subject of street photography.
One of the studio photographers in response to the claim that street photographers meet a lot of people responded that he too meets a lot of people in the street and than … he takes them to the studio to take photographs. There is something tragic and yet funny at the same time that he could not comprehend how talking a person from the street into a studio would remove any authentic character from the person.
The scene of the attractive model in light dress on a cold day is the opposite situation. Here is a studio taken into the street to get some “urban” credence. Will it work? Only if you take photographs for glossy magazines, where reality doesn’t rate.
Here is a scene seen very often in any tourist destination. A woman on her way to the Sydney Opera House is walking and her only vision forwards is the view of her camera viewfinder. Just look at the level of concentration on her face.
The video bug aside I though she was an excellent model for this photograph because of her bright orange attire and matching bracelets on her hand. Very colourful and decorative.
A special day for hair today. I took three interesting photographs – all on the subject of hair. Firstly quite a deliberate framed photograph of a man with big hair and a model on a poster behind him. I have aligned the view in such way that the model seems to be looking at the man.
I have taken a set of photographs of Micah mid December at the base of Skillion at Terrigal. I thought we did quite well considering the photographs were done ad-hoc. Here is a little YouTube video with some music (The song is by German band Liquido and was obtained from Synthopia, where you can find lots of very good, free music) to match.
You can see all of the photographs used in the video at better quality in Micah gallery
