Great illustration style by Ester Grossi. Not sure of all of her work, but some of it is equally hitting the mark.
Very timely and interesting new project by the great photojournalist Gideon Mendel, depicting mesmerising portraits of flood victims.
Currently showing at Somerset House in London.
Gideon has been documenting some major social subjects: the change and conflicts in SA in the lead up to Nelson Mandela’s release from prison, the impact of HIV/Aids in Africa, issues around poverty and how it affects children.
Andre Penteado is a brazilian photographer based in London. This is a series of self portraits of the photographer wearing his dad’s clothes. A moving project he undertook following his father’s suicide.
Andre showed me a shot of his dad once which has remained one of my favourite shots ever: all black and white, just a silhouette and a very slim ray of light coming from behind the curtains. I will post it here if I can find it again.
Andre has two website, the one he is tagged with and andrepenteadophotography.com
One of these people that you meet and find wonderful, one way or another.
Gianluca Fontana shoots a lot of sexy women made even sexier under his art direction. I love this tamer shot and its atmosphere.
I am a photographer’s website snob. I think many of us looking at images all day long, sometimes with very limited amount of time are. A great website is extra super important for showcasing great images.
As a simple example, Aaron Tilley’s images are so much more impactful when seen on East’s website under Annette Masterman (stylist), than on his own website. Yet, they are the same, great images.
Full screen, large images, no flash websites. Pleeeaaaaase : )
