Sarah Elize / May 2012
May 18, 2012 | posted in Fashion, Music, Photography | by Ilja Keizer | Leave a comment
Sarah Elize van Rij is a lovely creative girl from Amsterdam and I was happy to be spending a little time with her recently, taking pictures together, listening to Joni Mitchell’s ‘Blue’ album. All black and whites, bringing things back to the essence, the lighting, the expression, the atmosphere, a cosy apartment with nice garden[...]

Great re-design of the famous Pantone color chart by French designer Pierre David. Instead of using the regular color tones Pantone is famous of, used by artists, designers, painters and decorators all over the world, Pierre David used the enormous variety in human skin tones to make his own version of the color chart. Some nice[...]

Together with a few cans of coke, chocolate bars, cigarettes and the sounds of Nina Kraviz and Burial in[...]

Very nice photos featuring the amazing Dutch model Doutzen Kroes, shot by international fashion photographer Sebastian Faena for a not so recent but stil great editorial of V Man, the Spring 2009 edition. The series show a pretty nude Doutzen looking super beautiful. Loving the black and whites. _ _ _ _ _ Tweet
Eric Antoine ‘The Ambrotypes’
May 14, 2012 | posted in Art, Nudity, Photography | by Ilja Keizer | Leave a comment
Beautiful images of dreaming people in nature, people taking their time, just like the technique French photographer Eric Antoine uses to make the images. The works are made using wet plate collodion technique which requires long poses because of the long exposure process, an almost impossible time-taking technique to use on location, for portrait photography, also[...]

Wonderful mix of techniques in this beautiful series, a ‘search for her European roots’, called ‘Counterforms’ by American photographer Brea Souders. Brea is one of the selected photographers for this years Hyères Festival International de Mode & de Photographie. (Really worth having a look at the other selected photographers too) ‘As an American with typically mixed bloodlines,[...]
