Olympics

Photographer Dean Rogers

All Olympics moaning aside (believe me I can go on for hrs) I really love Dean Rogers work on this Adidas campaign.
There's a softness and strength shown across the ads that, for me, perfectly captures the duality of being an Olympian. Both a sports warrior staring down your opposition and a lone figure with the eyes of your country boring into you.

Softness and strength very much a constant thread through Deans work.

Kat Dennings by Kurt Iswarienko

I adore this shot, to be honest I'm a little smitten with Kat Dennings anyways.
There are some tremendous portraits on Iswarienko's site. Repped by CLM.

Thoughts For (Ad) Photographers

Moving Imagery eh!
You had a crack yet? Perhaps just a little play or a maybe big fiddle with a Phantom?
or have you taken the hide under the covers route?

If you're falling into the latter then you best throw off that duvet pronto.

We're all of us getting used to the increased client ask for "a little bit of motion capture as well" but what I've come to discover recently is those pesky photography student graduate types are being bloomin well taught how to use all of the shiny motion kit.
They've got whole moving imagery units in their syllabus now!

They're hot on your heels folks, worth thinking about huh?

Large Fox Stamp by Tom Frost

Everyone knows I've got a thing for foxes. You do right?
You're all following me on Twitter, right?

So it was a given when I saw this wonderful piece by Tom Frost (and an otter one) that I had to have them for my very own, well mine and the hublets very own.

As well as a stunning array of prints The Boy Frost also sells incredibly beautiful screen printed plywood toys like this Rocket Racer.

Go have a look at more of his work here <=
