Renee Robyn: Photographer, Retoucher, and Model

\ Leave a Comment \ by

Renee Robyn has the power to take your breath away. In photography she sees her images before she shoots them, and post-produces them into fantasy filled perfectness. She also models with eyes that can swallow your soul. She first attracted my attention by taking awesome photographs. Plain and simple. Renee’s work immediately stands out when seen. It’s my belief that Renee is such a great photographer because she genuinely loves everything about creating an image: modeling, photographing, creating, dreaming, and putting the final touches on the images in Photoshop.

Renee is intelligent and constantly driving herself. Anybody she comes in contact with understands this, and this just works perfectly to keep those creative juices flowing.

The Photography of David Burton

\ 1 Comment \ by

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.

José Parlá

\ Leave a Comment \ by

José Parlá is an artist. He’s a painter with a vision, deep history of roots art, a new age sculptor, and most definitely an abstractionist.

His work has appeared around the world in exhibitions in London, New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Paris.

José works with lines that stretch out from the edge of space, swirling around amidst chaos and frequency.

He studied painting at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia, and The New World School of the Arts in Miami, and lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

Fashion Blogger The Sartorialist

\ Leave a Comment \ by

Once and a while you run across some great videos that inspire you and get your knees shaking and the sweat and gears turning.

This is an introspective into the man/blogger known as The Sartorialist.

I find it great when he stops the girls and the one is like: “Which blog?” and the friend is like THE SARTORIALIST! haha.

Thanks to Baron S. Cameron, a brilliant photographer and writer himself, for sharing this.

Alexandra Valenti is Up In Smoke

\ Leave a Comment \ by

This article started off about fashion in smoke, then quickly turned to a profile of Alexandra Valenti after I looked at her photographs, where I found her smoke work.

Simply beautiful.

There are some artists you look at their work and you see a distance, a disconnect between personality and style. Then, there are other artists who integrate every essence of their body into what they capture with the lens. As an outside viewer, I almost get the feeling that I have just read Alexandra’s secret pages of a notebook she’s tirelessly drawn flowers, hearts, vines, and birds all over.

Oh, and she does it with some amazing style.

Artist Review: Ashley Joncas

\ Leave a Comment \ by

Ashley Joncas is an artist, photographer, editor, fashionista, model, blogger, and overall, badass creative soul. We like Ashley.

Ashley is 20 years old, and I enjoy the web she spins on her blog, her words are mesmerizing.

What I find is the best how her images are frequently washed out a bit, and almost always in black and white, or very damn close to it. Her style is very alley cat style, meow meow foxy with Ramones bangs. It’s a good dig.

For more of her style, more of her photographs, more of her, head over to her blog: Purely Couture and More. (ps. it’s a good idea to do that).

Rival Sons: a Band Review

\ Leave a Comment \ by

Attention Rock and Roll junkies: this is the all-star, stage-dominating, touch-you-deep-in-your-homegrown-soul Los Angeles band you’ve been looking for.  Rival Sons has been rocking the scene since 2008, bringing their soulful and gritty sound from L.A. to Europe and back.  Often compared to The Black Keys, Band of Skulls, or even AC/DC, their sound has developed a loyal following, and I predict something huge on the horizon.  Here are some recent shots from a packed house at Hemmingway’s in Hollywood.
