Amanda Jane Jones est une graphiste basée dans le Michigan qui a eu l’excellente idée de photographier des couples de personnes pour sa série créative My Better Half. Elle prend ainsi un cliché du couple ainsi qu’une photo de chaque personne qu’elle étoffe graphiquement avec des anecdotes et des symboles.
Nessim Higson nous propose sa dernière animation en jouant sur la typographie. “Him Her” se veut être l’histoire d’une relation entre lui et elle, simplement par l’enchainement de lettres retraçant les phrases les plus importantes d’une romance. A découvrir dans la suite.

Rethinking the standard brand film, Waris Ahluwalia creates a dreamy love adventure to feature select hotels
Premiering last night, HERE is a dreamy short film produced by Waris Ahluwalia for The Luxury Collection Hotels & Resorts. A romantic treasure hunt of sorts, the film stars Agyness Deyn, whose journey takes her halfway around the world following clues that lead to her mate. Directed by Luca Guadagnino and shot in only nine days, the team traveled from the Equinox Resort
in Manchester, Vermont to the Phoenician Resort in Scotsdale, Arizona and finally ended at the Royal Hawaiian in Waikiki.
A puzzle, a journey and an adventure in luxury, the 15-minute film is warming and meditative. The piece is timeless—there are no hints of when, only where. The hotels are featured, but not promoted. It’s a simple love story full of happiness and levity. The costumes, sets and lighting are all gorgeous. HERE is a piece of art, but HERE is also a film commissioned by the brand and marketing group at Starwood’s The Luxury Collection. While we’re not surprised Waris and his team could produce such a great work, it’s a pleasure to know that an organization like Starwood could step back and have trust in the creative process, letting a piece like this come to life.
Peter Fuss a eu l’idée de placer dans la gare de Gdansk en Pologne ces affiches. Avec un message de paix, ces affiches sont là pour rappeler de ne pas penser qu’avec des stéréotypes, et qu’il faut prendre du recul sur ce que l’on peut entendre. Une action efficace à découvrir dans la suite.

Reinvented wedding photography captures modern love
Cover bands and Jordan almonds aside, the real make-or-break wedding detail comes down to the one thing that may even outlast the vows—the photos. One wedding photographer reinventing traditional wedding photography is Los Angeles-based lensman Max Wanger. With a confident eye, Wanger captures effortlessly elegant images of love-filled weddings, engagements or couple’s lives, creating tangible memories that wouldn’t look out of place in a glossy publication. Describing his work as “offbeat, whimsical and romantic” and inspired by everything from Mos Def to “little kids who are way cooler than me,” this blogger-photographer-retailer had plenty to tell us about love, lens choice and lifelong commitment.
I’m not sure how to adequately articulate that. As a photographer, I’m lucky enough to be surrounded by love all the time and I’m lucky enough to be able to capture it. In that sense, love is what I see all around me.
I built my first camera when I was seven-years-old. I made a Polaroid out of paper and scotch tape. I suppose that was the beginning of my photography career.
As silly as it sounds, it just happened one day. I thought there might be a way to put my own spin on weddings, to photograph them differently. So I tried. Now, two years later, here I am.
I try to stay invisible as much as I can. The beginning of a shoot is always the hardest for clients because very few are comfortable in front of a camera. After a few minutes though, you get into a rhythm and it becomes all about them, and at that point I’m just an observer.
Yes, I got married last year. Shooting my own wedding would have been a pretty impressive feat, but, thankfully and luckily, we have amazing friends who are also amazing photographers so they shot it for us.
Photo mechanic to sort through images, Photoshop to process… Oh yeah, a few 5D Mark IIs, a handful of Polaroids and a Contax G2.
The blog was a necessity to get the work out there, to establish a voice. The shop was started because I wanted to do something different; I wanted to push myself in another way. The original idea behind it was to sell limited edition shirts based on my photographs. The hope was to sell a different shirt every month so people could collect them. I’ve since changed it so it isn’t monthly anymore. When I feel inspired to put another design out there, I do it. We actually just released our first hoodie and we also sell prints and postcards.
Someone once told me that I made them believe in love again. That was a pretty good one.
I don’t think so. If anything, I feel like I embrace it more behind the lens. When I’m behind the camera, I feel like I’m seeing a world no one else sees. I think that every photographer needs to feel that way, otherwise what’s the point? Sometimes I get so wrapped up in the moment that I have to be careful—I’ve almost fallen off of a cliff and a roof, and I’ve actually fallen into a pool. Not my finest moment.
I like them. I think they’re fun. Ultimately, that’s what photography is about—having fun, experimenting and letting go.
When I’m not shooting, I’m processing. When I’m not processing, I’m responding to e-mails. There’s no end to learning how to run a business.
Off the top of my head—Rodney Smith, Tim Walker, Paolo Pellegrin, Mos Def, New York, Tokyo, negative space, simplicity, little kids who are way cooler than me.
The immediate are trips to New York, London and Ireland. In the future are commercial gigs, personal projects, a little golf and a lot of sleep.
