Cold Old Times

I went to Cornwall with some friends last year, and tried out this old wartime Lomo camera a friend gave to me, it's quite difficult to figure out, but I got a few nice shots out of it.

Backstage

I came across the photographer Mark Shaw for the first time the other day, and fell in love with the backstage photographs he took during the 1950s and 60s, full of energy and elegance. He has been credited as the first photographer to publish backstage fashion show photos, as well as taking some massively iconic images during his heyday.

£5 for a bit of desert serenity isn't bad

I picked up this collection of photographs, made into a large newspaper format from Albam in London, a great new menswear store. The images by Nicholas Gottlund are so ambient and serene.

California can do no wrong........

Californian photographer Nicholas Haggard (brilliant name) was featured in the last issue of Lines & Shapes magazine, and I instantly felt drawn to his work. A great mix of colour, personal portraits, still life and generally capturing a moment.

Guy Bourdin in Korea

While we were in Seoul, we accidentally stumbled upon the press preview of the Guy Bourdin exhibition for the 2nd anniversary of Corso Como. It was brilliant, and re-ignited my excitement about his work. The circular room with multiple screens of his films was my favourite, the whole show was brilliantly curated by Shelley Verthime and Bourdin's long time muse Nicolle Meyer.
