The Photography of Neave Bozorgi aka. Sir Neave

Neave Bozorgi, or Sir Neave as he commonly refers to himself is based in LA, and he likes Nutella. That much I do know about this photographer.

His work is graceful, I find the photograph with the dancer on her toes is a perfect way to sum up his work. You can see the grain of the wall behind, the rawness of it, and the perfect detail and lighting on the body. It’s casually organized but perfectly simple. Also, his use of stunningly beautiful models definitely helps his work.

A lot of the photographs are in black and white, the bio on his website says “Dream in color, shoot in black and white.”  This is a good choice Sir Neave.

The Photography of David Burton

It is hard to begin with David Burton. His work is beautiful, if I had to pick one word to describe it. It’s lit very naturally, it is fashion without trying, it is class, sensuality, and presence all mixed into a palette of browns and earths and splashes of sun kissed colour. It can also be just black and white.

The difference between them and Hiroshi Nonami is that Hiroshi makes that process an art form.

She Had Flowers In Her Hair

Summer season brings out the gypsy in most people, throwing the long black ball gowns in the closet and pulling out the cut up jeans and sandals, weaving flowers in their hair. We love the summer. We dream about it for the rest of the seasons, for a time when we can run in the sand with bare feet, or lay in the park upon green green grass and laugh the day away with friends.

When the night time comes, how do you keep the summer spirit though? We can hold onto it with loads of bracelets beautifying our wrists, but perhaps we want to get just a little bit different. Perhaps we’ll put some flowers back in our hair?

Vancouver’s Pecha Kucha Night #20 – All Star Special Edition @ Vogue Theatre

As expected, Pecha Kucha Night Vancouver #20 was great. Vancouver’s edition of Pecha Kucha, which began in Japan by the people shown below. To clear up any confusion I will quote their “What is It” section of their page:

PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.
