Blast from the Past no. 01

I cam across these shots from my old old website ... I found them interesting, so I thought I would post. These are from back in 2006 when I officially started trying to shoot fashion.

UnRetouched Sneak Peak: Kristy

Hey Kids!

Sorry I ain't been around for a while ... I've been shooting my ass off. My trigger finger literally hurts.

Anyway ... things have slowed down a bit, so there'll be a lot more updating goin' on.

Ciao for now,

M.

Are we your friends?

I've been in a weird mood lately, I don't know how to describe. But this work by Jacob Sutton kinda does. I've been in a crazy mood to trash/wreck/destroy/fight something. What is that? Angsty? Feisty? Rowdy? All of the above?

Regardless ... he's an excellent photographer - check out his site when you get a chance. And also - check out the Justice vs. Simian video below.

Cheers,

M.

Inspiration no. 1

Someone has encouraged me to start sharing things that inspire me, and since I'm too lazy to retouch my own stuff I've decided that I agree. Starting to talk about inspiration with out mentioning Richard Avedon would be so blasphemous that I wouldn't dare to do otherwise.

Consider it a cliché if you want, but if it weren't for Richard Avedon, I would not even be a photographer. I was in the photography club in highschool, and never even considered it as a career until we all watched a documentary about him. The way he and others spoke about his work really stayed with me ... his process, his methods. The passion that he had for what he did, and that others had for what he did. I'd never seen anything like that before, and his images were completely unforgettable. So although everyone has seen all of his work before, here it is - the man who ignited that first spark, which I can't seem to get rid of.

All images in this post are by or for Richard Avedon

<3, Forever.

I've been shooting and retouching so much this week my eyes are kind of starting to hurt ... I think I need a vacation ... maybe even a more permanent one. Change of scenery. Shake things up.

We'll see where I end up.

Enjoy Matt, from Ottawa.
