TheNewWorldOrder


 


Just found this amazing graphic novel, created by Agent Provocateur to publicise their Autumn/Winter collection. I know I'm kinda late, but how cool does it look! Girl power!

Another art post, about drapery again. I made myself a dress and modelled it, in order to capture the effects of different environments on the fabric. We photographed it in the night here, and I think the results look really ethereal and magical! Because the flash was too harsh, the camera automatically exposed the photos for longer to let more light in, which is how the blurry effect was achieved. Completely on purpose of course.

Art Project



Photos I took for our project on obsession about a certain object; mine was a Greek statue of the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite. I find the drapery and fabric on Greek statues amazing; the detail the sculptors created is inspirational.

I created these photos by projecting an animation I had created, by scanning my scarf into Photoshop and going through the colours of the spectrum, onto my model. I wanted to capture the effect of the folds of the fabric on her body and her clothes; as if she were wearing it.

Dura Navis



To tempt the dangerous deep, too venturous youth,
Why does thy breast with fondest wishes glow?
No tender parent there thy cares shall sooth,
No much-lov'd Friend shall share thy every woe.
Why does thy mind with hopes delusive burn?
Vain are thy Schemes by heated Fancy plann'd:
Thy promis'd joy thou'lt see to Sorrow turn
Exil'd from Bliss, and from thy native land.

Words by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, photos by weheartit.com

The Fallen Angel  by Duane Michals
An amazing series of photos,
sorry about the bad quality but that was the best complete series I could find!

Skype high fashion shoot. I love this concept, the pictures are beautiful. It really comes across as high fashion but also has the intimate, non commercial feel of webcam shots which is a nice change from normal fashion photography. However, I don't really think the photographer is doing as much work with this method as he usually would!
