Pop pop bang bang project

11/20/2012 by chicquero

Pop Pop Bang Bang is an incredible project created by a great collaboration between photographer Thomas Brown and creative director Anna Burns. The former describes it as a mix of “film, photography, and pyro”. Together, the two focused on three themes that seems to always find their way into movies: explosions, guns, and girls. With this idea they decided to create their own conceptual, visually arresting settings in three different London locations. Very eye catching! Drama is very important in […]

Madame Peripetie - Champion maneuvers for schön! magazine chicquero

Fashion Faux Fight

06/16/2012 by chicquero

Artistic Fight The Schon Magazine ‘Champion Maneuvers’ editorial is impressively executed. The models are artfully arranged on the ground. Lensed by London-based photographer Madame Peripetie for the publication’s 17th issue, the Schon Magazine Champion Maneuvers editorial happens to be one of her least eccentric photoshoots (check it out some of her “peculiar” shoots: Dreaming, Love triangle and Pughatory). Although still abstract, it has a more tangible theme that creatively ties in with the UK’s obsession with the upcoming 2012 Summer Olympics to be held […]

Life´s attraction

02/20/2012 by chicquero

Yorkshire born Nicola Yeoman moved to London in 2001 and worked at the Guardian as a picture editor whilst studying furniture at Guildhall University. Her combined love of photography and her practical skills as a designer led to an accidental career as a set designer. Now, at first glance at least, it is her eye for the theatrical, honed and developed in this latter role, that most informs her current artwork. Yeoman’s childhood spent growing up on a farm in […]

Feather invasion

02/18/2012 by chicquero

Kate MccGire is an extreme talented artist based in London. Her practice probes the beauty inherent in duality, exploring the play of opposites – at an aesthetic, intellectual and visceral level – that characterises the way we conceive the world. She does this by appealing to our essential duality as human beings, to our senses and our reason, and by drawing on materials capable of embodying a dichotomous way of seeing, feeling and thinking. The finished work has a consistent […]

Need some lip service?

10/09/2011 by chicquero

Here is a conceptual beauty shoot created by british photographer Steve Kraitt. It´s playful, eye-catching, colours stand out very nicely and it´s stunning! One thing that really caught my attention when I was checking out Steve´s website was his “About”… I found so interesting and cool the way he exposed his Bio. Check this out! “Steve Kraitt didn’t study photographic technique at an illustrious institute of contemporary arts. He didn’t train for many years under the watchful eye of a globally respected photographic mentor. His […]

Iain Crawford´s style

09/29/2011 by chicquero

Iain Crawford is a London based photographer that grew up in Africa and Malaysia. He likes to capture images with a strong kinda graphic and textural quality, often searching out the graphical symmetry in chaos, while still maintaining the personality and emotion of the subject. “I love the fusion between paint and model. The resulting shapes are as opulent as any piece of bespoke couture. The excitement and anticipation as we waited to see the next piece of unpredictable chaos […]
