Lovett!

I've had a massive art crush on Dane Lovetts work for a good five or so years now. His work has changed over that time, but always present is a clear and simple beauty. In his latest collection he takes a traditional approach to still life painting, grouping together not so classical objects and slightly outdated technology. You can check out more of his work here - danelovett.com - lovett!

softened by the light

Gorgeous back stage shots for Chanel fall 2011 couture - captured by Schohaja for V Magazine. I love the mood evoked by the tight crops and soft light - the way that objects have been placed in front of the lens to colour and distort the imagery, giving it extra depth and dimension. Creating a story that feels so feminine and beautiful.
