One of my favorite things about being a fashion blogger, is having the opportunity to use photography as a medium creativity. Los Angeles has everything you could want for a cool backdrop from hotels, to graffiti walls, to the mountains, or sea. It’s amazing how many fun places there are to shoot in Los Angeles.
While I was on my way to an event to view Wren’s SS12 collection, in collaboration by a short film with Gia Coppola (post to come soon on Style Section LA), I stumbled upon this amazing pink wall. I’d tell you where it is, but I’d have to steal your camera.
If nothing else, I hope this post inspires you get creative. I love how photography can instantly turn into art, while style being a medium to create.

Total girl crush on the adorable Poppy Delevigne. I love the styling here, pulled from Natalie Joos’ Tales of Endearnment. Poppy Delevigne, 25, and her sister Cara, are regular fixtures on the fashion circuit, both stunningly gorgeous and have chic style. Poppy has notched up campaigns for Anya Hindmarch, Mango and Burberry and is making he mark in the industry, and I am sure you can see why. She has eclectic taste and Natalie Joos writes she recently cast her in a short film by Fancesco Carrozzini for Imagine Fashion with Elisa Sednaoui, Paz de la Huerta and Zoe le Ber, stating “She was stunning.”

Through a project for work, I came across some photos by the iconic photographer Richard Avedon. Already being a huge fan, something struck me even more yesterday. After critiquing many photographers work, past and present, there is something substantially different about Avedon’s photos that impressed me even more. Each one, standing alone outside of it’s collection, has a way to knock you off your seat. They are dramatic, poetic, simple and dignified, which is why he remains to be remembered as one of the best.
Richard Avedon (May 15, 1923 – October 1, 2004) was an Americn Photographer. The New York Times said after his death that, “his fashion and portrait photographs helped define America’s image of style, beauty and culture for the last half-century.” (wikipedia)
Based out of Southern California working mostly in San Diego and Los Angeles, Kate Daigneault is looking to make a name for her self with her story titled Royal Savage. Featuring Morgan from Scout Model and Talent, taking the role of a young woman sort left alone in this vast, lonely place. Morgan had hair and make up done by Brooke Hill, and was styled by Kate herself with fashion from American Apparel, GAP, Jeffrey Campbell and others.
Kate says this about the story: “- This story, called Royal Savage, was actually inspired by the crowns which I made out of found objects. Its about this young woman sort of left alone in this vast, lonely place. She takes this as an opportunity to become the ruler of this world. I decided to keep the styling pretty simple and use mostly gold and jewel tones to help this out. Morgan was a great model because she is just starting university and in a way starting a similar journey.”

“I just turn the page,” Teller says of those very glossy fashion shots. “It doesn’t really interest me very much. My work has nothing to do with that. I just really like women, and I like men, and I like children, and I like eating, and I like doing everything. It’s something real. I’m for the individual human being, not some plastic figure some gay guy thought out. That’s valid for something, but it’s not my cup of tea.” (NY MAG)
Teller explains to NY MAG, why to the shiny ‘perfect’ highly retouched images just don’t do it for him. Teller, a heterosexual man, finds “realness” in the photos, as to him are more attractive and real – more rawness, a man’s touch to fashion. It comes through in final product and it’s appreciated.

Elouise van Riet-Gray’s Fashion Spread Lost in Wonderland, immediately draws you in with it’s rich color combination and the fantasy like story. Riet-Gray is known for using a lot of props in her stories which adds a playful element to fashion which can be somewhat serious. What is even more amazing is that she never really knew her career path until later in life, after kids actually. I admire her success and achievements for following her heart later in life. Riet-Gray mentions the camera she received for her 21st birthday from a friend, and admitting her friend knew her better than she knew herself. Case and point it’s NEVER TOO LATE to do what it is you love.
The playfulness and vintage clothing marries perfectly with her huge hair and pale innocent expression.
“The location was an inspiration for this story. Its at a place called the “Old Museum” in Brisbane. Its just on the edge of the CBD but has this crazy garden. Well cared for by Eduardo, he was so proud of his oversized corn, I had to take a shot in the corn….the one with the blue dress and yellow hat. It initially wasn’t intended to reference “Alice in Wonderland” but it seemed to head that way during the shoot, so we casually pursued the feeling.” – Ben Travato Blog

“The movies of Wong Kar-Wai and the poetry of Asian Art is my endless inspiration. And I’m a dreamer living in 2046 year” ~ Tatiana Kurnosova
Moscow based photographer, Tatiana Kurnosovais, is one of the most unique fashion photographers I have seen to date. Her latest set consisted of solely two models and all the outfits were made entirely of paper. Not only is she a talented photographer with impeccable lighting and focus skills, but she was also the one who designed and created all the looks for this shoot. She is definitely someone to look out for! Tatiana fell in love with photography a couple years ago and has been working for only a year. She’s been published in in several Chinese (HI-LOW, Cold Tea ), Indonesian (WOWMAGS), Portugal (Digital Photographer), American magazines (File, World! Webzine) and many more.

“Marketing campaigns often tell the story of a dream like romance, a mix of fragility and nature. Photographers are capturing soft emotions and a senses of self within the women. “
