Cut Out Outfit

Post 104

I discovered this photographer just this weekend at a craft fair organised by the lovely ladies at Made In The Shade in Glasgow. Now I spent around an hour trying to decide which one of YHF's portraits to feature and I've settled on this beautifully kitsch, cut out portrait. The clothing for this image by Rachael Albert clothing is also incredibly cute, to be honest everything about this image makes extremely happy.

On a totally un-portrait related point go and check out this set of photographs, they are the best I have seen in a good while!

Now I'm not sure if it's the washing line full of jeans or that stunning blue sky but this portrait by Gastón Suaya is like a little ray of sunshine on a grey Glasgow evening. I'm the first to admit that I'm a sucker for any photograph with beautiful lighting, especially if it's natural lighting. This image really makes me wish that I was outside in some good weather shooting something similar. I definitely have some envy!

I utterly adore this portrait, everything about it makes my stomach flip. The wonderful crop around the perfect lighting and that coy & playful expression on the models' face just make this image one to die for. Rob Senior should be incredibly proud of this the power of this portrait, it has totally cheered me up on this mundane Monday.

This post is a very special 100th post as this portrait is one of my favourite ever images. Redredhead, or Marina, has created a beautifully isolated portrait, from the expression to the flawless skin, from the red hair to the dull green forest, it's all just perfect!

Redredhead, or Marina, has a whole Flickr stream full of utterly stunning photography and I urge you to go over and have a good gander through, I promise that you will not be disappointed.

I completely adore real characters. This lady, captured by Travis Jensen SF is a perfect example of why I am so in love with people. Not only does she look 100% real, she looks like she has hundreds of stories to tell. This portrait makes me wonder off into imagining what a life she's had; who she's met, who she has met and may more questions.

Check out Travis's website here for some more wonderful photography.

I adore all things paper, especially paper cranes! So this photograph from Roanne Lucy Silver really got me excited. The simplicity of the model's pose and tone, coupled with the angular origami birds are a perfect offset to the negative space around her. To be honest it's just really gorgeous right?

Now, recently I have started to regress back to my roots of growing up in Somerset, a beautiful county full of farms, animals and hippies. I've become reasonably obsessed with greener ways to leave my life and the importance of eating natural foods. Along with this comes a want to perfect some good yoga poses, now I can't say that me trying to balance in my living room even goes close to stretching with a view like this! theskepticaloptimist has captured a truly gorgeous pose with an utterly breathtaking landscape, my Glasgow flat just doesn't compare!

Now without getting too nostalgic, this portrait makes me think of summers gone by. It's so beautifully shot with perfect lighting and composition. It makes me feel utterly homesick and makes me dread looking out of my window at the Glasgow weather which if I'm honest makes me very sad everyday.

But however melancholy the weather outside is, Spazi Angusti has given me a good fifteen minutes of happy memories. Don't you just love it when an image can do that?

This beautiful low key by Tatiana Pezzin is utterly breath taking. Not only am I a sucker for anything that looks like real love between two people but the negative space around the couple is stunning. The way that the couple's features are just highlighted enough to convey their love is beyond perfection.

Please head over to her Flickr to see more beautiful images. I'm a big fan of Tatiana's work and I think you'd all like it.

There is something very compelling about this image. I absolutely adore the tones in the black and white image and the way the smoke has been captured. The natural lighting is completely beautiful and makes the models skin radiant. Nesa June's captured a completely ordinary moment in the model's life but made it look spectacular.

Lindsay gray* has captured a lush expression in a wonderfully composed frame. The strong contrast in the monochrome is completely striking and the globe a perfect prop. I really adore the slightly over exposed hair and skin, it really draws my eye to the vulnerable look in the models eye, it's one of those images that really hits my heart and makes it ache a little. I love it when that happens.

I'm currently obsessed by all things running after signing up to run the Glasgow Race for Life and having only been 'running' twice this year I'm more than a little bit scared. If only I'll finish my 5K run looking half as calm as this marathon runner I'll be more than pleased!

I really love this crop, it's showing off the focus, tiredness and determination that all marathon runners possess. Just perfect!

This gritty portrait from Danielle T is completely awesome and the detail in the texture of skin is actually a little bit mind blowing!

This YUKI DOLL image is a real winner for me, not only is it dark and moodily lit but the model has pink hair!

It's images like this one by James Yeung that always make me very jealous that I didn't take it! I'm all for studio photography and think that it is stunning but I just love real people in real situations like this one.
