Oh my! Oh my, oh my, oh my! Have you ever seen such amazing colour? The lovely light. Shadows subtly adding to the shots. I am inspired by photographer Kate Mathis‘ work. From vignettes to rooms her images are beautiful. Sometimes a closeup of objects or a colour study can get the creative juices flowing and make my mind tick over with ideas just as much as a cleverly designed space.
One of my favourite vintage shops in Sydney, quintessential duckeggBLUE has a new (two issues so far) online magazine, The quintessential Magazine. If you love all things found, industrial and antique then you are going to love this small but beautifully curated and interactive online offering. Shop owner Leanne Carter-Taylor and ex creative director of Inside Out magazine Tracy Lines are the creative force behind The quintessential Magazine. A perfect partnership producing an evocative collection of inspiring people and pieces.
I have always been jealous of interior stylists who have an incredible knack for uniting a bunch of often random objects into some type of cohesive theme that results in the most gorgeous vignettes that become even more magical when captured by a lens. Swedish stylist Tina Hellberg is one of those stylist (as Jo demonstrated a couple of times before here and here).
It’s not always about a de-saturated colour palette when it comes to Scandinavian photography. Not always. Sometimes it’s about a richness, a vibrancy. But then again it really is about that de-saturated white on white. One or the other? How about both. I have been revisiting the portfolio of Malmö based photographer Marcus Lawett. And guess what? I’m still in love with his work. (You can see my previous post here.)
