A collection of pleasant things…

1. The ‘Londoners Through a Lens’ photo exhibition at the Getty Images Gallery in London will be exhibiting from the 14th August, showing photographs throughout the past century.
2. This photo editorial from Teen Vogue is from last month, but I still can’t get over the styling and how pretty Emma Watson is!
3. Illustrations by Sougwen Chung are absolutely beautiful. Her drawings section is also nice to look at too.
4. Tord Boontje jewellery from Artecnica. If you’re not familiar with Tord Boontje, I recommend you take a look at his website.
5. Martin Wilson creates large images from the strips laid out on the contact sheet. Each frame is taken specifically in the right order, so one mistake and he starts again!
6. Littlepixel at Flickr has a great set dedicated to classic record sleeves in the style of Pelican books.
7. How awesome are these vintage Coca Cola cans? See more at Inspiredology.com
8. The Uniform Project is a year long fundraising idea for the Akanksha Foundation by Sheena Matheiken. She has ‘pledged to wear one dress for one year as an exercise in sustainable fashion’.
9. Jr.Canest has some pretty good film and animation work at Vimeo. I like ‘A Walk Around Vancouver’ and Crazy Enough – Title Sequence in particular. The first one reminds me of the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which is my favourite film of all time!
10. A brilliant stop motion music video involving a lot of chalk, for the Firekites song Autumn Story by Lucinda Schreiber and Yanni Kronenberg.

Matty Franklin is a 19 year old photographer from Detroit. I recommend you check out his Flickr stream because it’s really quite good. He’s become another one of my favourite contacts!
Dina Goldstein, Fallen Princesses
Jun 19.09 / Inspire, Photographs
I couldn’t help it, I must be obsessed with fairy tales at the moment because when I saw this Fallen Princesses photo series by Dina Goldstein, I loved it. My favourite out of the whole series has got to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast having cosmetic surgery. You can check out the rest of the series at her website or at her article at JPG Magazine.
Annie Leibovitz, Alice in Wonderland Editorial
Jun 16.09 / Fashion, Inspire, Photographs
Carrying on with the love for fairy tale themes, I came across this Alice and Wonderland editorial shoot by Annie Leibovitz yesterday for Vogue in 2005. The story has always been one of my childhood favourites, so I really like seeing photo interpretations by other people. I wouldn’t expect anything less than super from Annie Leibovitz anyway, she’s fantastic!
Eugenio Recuenco, Fairy Tales Editorial
Jun 15.09 / Inspire, Photographs
I absolutely love these photographs by Eugenio Recuenco that he did for an issue of Spanish Vogue in 2003. I think the gothic interpretation of these fairy tales work really well. Beautiful!
