The Photo Man

The Photo Man from Ben Kitnick on Vimeo.

I hope you all had a great weekend. Here in England Autumn is showing its first signs already!
For those that love photography and a sweet story, I thought I'd share this short video of the Photo Man by Ben Kitnick. I might be very sentimental as towards the end I shed a couple of tears...

Happy Friday!

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend with lots of sunshine wherever you are in this little planet of ours!

Britain's Next Top Models!!

Yesterday afternoon I had the pleasure of shooting photos of our friends Jane and Alex's lovely daughters in the garden. We had great fun playing around with different outfits and looks and the girls were real star models! You can see more of the images in my website here  

   

Massimo Viatli London Exhibition

I fell in love with Massimo Vitalis' images years ago whilst browsing through the Photographic book section in Waterstones bookshop and I hope to own one of his prints one day! 

The images made so much of an impact on me that since then I have developed a phobia of crowded beaches and refuse to be part of a crowd following a trend! Although I must add that these images make me smile seeing the humour in them and at the same time bringing me great memories of my childhood and teen holidays. 

Massimo Viatli was born in Como, Italy 1944. He moved to London after high school to study Photography where after that his career began and hasn't looked back since. After working as a photojournalist and cinematographer for many years he then began his beach series in 1995.

Massimo Vitali's work can  be found in the collections of the Guggenheim in New York, the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain and the Elton John collection. 

If you are in London over the next few weeks I'm very excited to tell you  there's currently an exhibition of his work in London  at the Brancolini Grimaldi Gallery.  For opening times check here.

New Images for 2012

Surrounded by white blankets of snow, temperature bellow zero,  cloudy and foggy skies and  days getting dark early I needed to add some color  to my life !! So in the last couple of weeks I've been in my studio  working solid on my new collection of images for Licensing projects..It certainly has lifted my spirits !

These images are also available in my shop here.

People Watching In London

A couple of days ago I was in London to visit Pulse.  After the show it was such a lovely day that I took a walk back to my old neighbourhood.  I had a couple of hours to spare whilst waiting to hook up with my friend Jo for a drink, so with my camera in hand I took tons of photos which I'll write a post on soon. I love London so much for the relaxed attitude to be as you like and the best thing is that no one really cares!

Home Products Photo Shoot -Part 2

As I mentioned in my last post I'm working on my new website and catalogue which has inspired me to take new images of my products. A new project that I've been enjoying tremendously as interiors and styling has always been one of my interests!

So much time, thought and work goes into taking an image that sometimes when flicking through the lovely images in interior magazines I have taken for granted.

So having just had a little taster I'm willing to learn and pursue this new venture even if it is for fun- so watch this space :-)

Back to the Future

I'm loving this photographic project from Argentine photographer Irina Werning where she gets people to reenact photographic images from their childhood!

Have a lovely weekend whatever you are up to-Me I'm going to try and catch some of the Oscars ...I'm for team 'The Social Network' , for best supporting actor Geoffrey Rush ( The Kings Speech) and best actress for Annette Bening in 'The kids Are Alright'. You can see more of the nominations here ..who are your favourties?

It's all snow here!

This morning we had unexpected snow for this time of year here in England. It all looks so pretty! I'm going to take the opportunity to shoot some photographs...Have a good day!

An Englishman in New York: Photographic Exhibition -Jason Bell

Liam Neason

Kate Winslet

Zoe Heller

If you happen to be in London this weekend you might want to pop in the National Portrait Gallery and check the current photographic exhibition"An Englishman in New York" by Jason Bell. British born photographer living in New york was inspired by some of the 120,000 British men and women living in the big Apple. Jason has photographed leading figures setting the cultural agenda in the city such as; Kate Winslet, Writter Zoe Heller and Sting are to name a few. The exhibition runs until 11 of April 2011.

Have a great weekend whatever you are doing, the sunshine is great here but I'm afraid is a work all weekend for me preparing for my exhibition in London next week.

Lovely sweet peas

Well my work has started, not long to go for the exhibition...lets see how the days follow.....
