Nikolay Biryukov

Russian-born fashion photographer Nikolay Biryukov is currently based in London. He works between London, Moscow, Paris and Milan shooting mainly fashion stories for a range of international magazines. Recent work includes editorials for magazines such as Elle Ukraine, Interview Russia, L'Officiel, Stylist UK, SNC, and many other. I personally admire Nikolay's website as an example of perfect photographer's portfolio - no flash, previews and etc. Just pure awesome HD images.

Pinhole camera of Jan Dunning

in , , ,

”My photographs are made with a pinhole camera, offering an unsettling, enigmatic perspective on the “natural” world. The work exploits the ambiguous and transformational stance of the pinhole photograph to present confrontations between fiction and reality, the possible and impossible, the natural and unnatural.” – Jan Dunning

A collection of pencil drawings London based illustrator Rupert Smissen time to time working in collaboration with Rebecca Pomroy. Obsessive with details, double-meanings and beautiful shadows Rupert's works are yet not provoked the industry to step out from Tumblr, I bet this is a matter of time and good illustration agency.

Fashion attack by Tara Dougans

in , , , ,

A second fashion attack by Tara Dougans mimicking and reworking men fashion haute-coutre in illustrative way, now made after Paris Fashion Week. "Originally concepted as an 'animated editorial', the project kicked off shortly after Paris Fashion Week Menswear in January. Inspired by the Burmese proverb 'beware of a man's shadow and a bee's sting', the idea was to juxtapose the subtle stoicism of menswear imagery with a cheeky animated wink. Having previously worked almost exclusive with pencil, the aim was to create a multisensory experience without losing the feel of handcraftsmanship."
