Golden Dust

This photo is from 2012 and it was taken in my bedroom with a white paper sheet  behind the model and natural light coming through a window, quite the simple set up.

2013 - Have a creative one !

I've been neglecting this blog and all the people who visit this page do not deserve so much time without one single post.

 

I hope you've all had a wonderful New Years Eve and I wish you all a great and super creative 2013.

 

It's been a long time since my last photoshoot but I have some things planned, and some images to be released from last year. I hope 2013 will be a great year to work on my personal style when it comes to shooting and styling... I'm having a creative crisis lately but I'm eager to change my photography style a bit and try new concepts and put some knowledge into practice.

 

I just want to let you know that I haven't forgot this place, but with all things creative sometimes all we need it's time, unil we find our path again.

Rain, rain, rain

Taking photos outside in the Autumn or Winter can be quite the impossible task, as it was proven this past weekend ! My street style shoot was scheduled for saturday but it rained (more like poured) all day ! 

I miss shooting, I really do ! 


Meanwhile you can visit my Facebook page or my Website (will be updated soon), if you haven't already !

Street Style Inspired

I believe this photo was taken by Scott Schuman from The Sartorialist blog.

 

I am planning a shoot inspired by street style, both styling and way of photographing. Street Style photos became really popular these days, and I am specially drawn to fashion week's photos and those incredible stylish people who wear eccentric outfits.

 

I miss shooting so I'm really excited about this.

Iceland

Iceland - A Photographer's Paradise

" Iceland is a landscape photographers paradise and playground, and should be number 1 on every photographers must visit list. Iceland during the Midnight Sun is in sort of a permanent state of sunset. The sun never full sets and travels horizontally across the horizon throughout the night."

Inspiration or lack of it

I am trying to go in a different direction with my photography but I am so uninspired lately... I am trying to stay away from fashion magazines because I believe that the more you are inspired by the work of others the more your own works loses authenticity.

I love pinterest, tumblr and vimeo when it comes to find inspiration but right now i need something more ... any tips?Where can I find new and interesting imagery?What works for you when you feel unispired?
