Breast Cancer


I didn't realise at all that they were women with breast cancer when I first looked at the photos, just thought they were really beautiful seductive images...then I read the article and realised, photographed by Nick Knight, I think they are really special and must have been awesome to have been able to make these women feel amazing. See more on Dazed and Confused.

Rankin

Rankin has taken the photo of a famous musician or visual artist and then the artist has destroyed the photo, or recreated it in their style....I especially like this one of Debbie Harry, although it makes me a bit uncomfortable...but I like that it makes me feel like that....provoking. Think it's the stitching

Crewdson and new book

Gregory Crewdson- "I do have a strange disconnected relationship to photography, I don't even like holding the camera, I don't take the actual picture. What I'm interested in is images. And the camera is just a necessary instrument"

I think this is really interesting...he doesn't even press the button!

Also I have just finished reading a book called Images Makers, Image Takers by Anne-Celine Jaeger and it's brilliant, awesome interviews with photographers- really insightful and very helpful and inspiring.
