Vintage rural America.

11/24/2011 by chicquero

America in Color from 1939-1943 We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in Brazil, so I decided to make a special post to our fellow american buddies. Happy Thanksgiving! These great images, by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America’s rural and small town populations. The photographs are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit Bound for Glory: […]

It’s not just about the Girl from Ipanema!

11/21/2011 by chicquero

Well, we know that Brazil is booming (big time, yay!)… but I’m not talking about economics, Carnaval, bikinis, World Cup, coffee, sugar cane, samba not to mention “The Girl from Ipanema“. I’m talking about “Borderless” , this fabulous editorial created by Brazilian professionals and published in brazilian magazine Criativa. Shot by photographer Gui Paganini, beautifully styled by Renata Corrêa and featuring brazilian model Thairine Garcia (OMFG… she’s gorgeous!), this crew took this work to the next level. The graphic color […]

madame peripetie dream sequence chicquero

Dreaming in a pragmatic way.

11/15/2011 by chicquero

Dream Sequence Madame Peripetie aka Sylwana Zybura is a polish photographer based in Germany. The conceptual photographer is greatly influenced by Surrealism, Dadaism as well as the new wave era of the ’80s, British post punk scene and the avant-garde theater. I love her dreamy sequence, very out of this world. Sylwana explores the boundaries between fashion, photography and the human essence, experimenting through different colors, shapes and feelings. So peculiar, strange and beautiful, at the same time. Keep dreaming.. […]

High Speed Liquid and Bubbles

11/04/2011 by chicquero

Bubbly Art German photographer Heinz Maier created a fabulous technique of high-speed photography, shooting colorful liquids. That´s a pretty neat job considering that he began taking photographs less than a year ago in late 2010. He is focusing in experimenting macro photography, mostly insects, animals, and these superb high-speed water droplets. These photographs/sculptures are simply outstanding. Take a look at the colors, lighting, and the reflection of water, it’s hard to believe these aren’t digital. Keep it up, we love it! Check it […]

“Every so often a shoot will come out to remind us that Lara Stone is impossible. The sort of impossible that defies nature, goes against the laws of physics, and leaves us scratching our heads in dismay. If you wondered what might happen to the trend of nudity in fashion then this shoot for Interview may at least set those questions to rest, for as long as there is Lara the trend is not going to go away.” And should […]

Au Coin de ma Rue

Au coin de ma rue – At the corner of my street “Why are my eyes drawn by these people? I don’t think it has anything to do with beauty or esthetics but more with their general attitude. They all have an ‘intangible something’ that reflects into their expression. It’s like their body and face embrace entirely their personality. Anyway, all these lines to express that I was often frustrated not to have my camera when I needed it. Now, […]

Life is irrational

10/24/2011 by chicquero

Philippe Ramette The French artist Philippe Ramette creates great imagery whose purpose is not so much their daily ordinary application. In his words, “I imagine what we could see,” and then stages his ideas in photographs. Based in some bizarre situations, he constructs awkward images of rational, carefully planned irrational situations (if that makes any sense). Philippe Ramette is the man in the suit that you see in these photographs, the gravity-defying is not a trick. Philippe goes to fantastic […]

So Vogue US decided to select some great remarkable imagery from their archives and bring it back to life. There are images from the early 90´s passing through the years until these days! It´s called “Extreme Beauty in Vogue“. Really, really nice idea and amazing pictures! “What exactly defines beauty? Does the answer lie, as some have suggested, in perfect symmetry? Or perhaps in possessing exotic features? Is today’s perception of beauty something that is completely natural or dramatically manufactured? And is it truly […]
