DeLaOstia jeans

Post 103

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 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?

Albrazier's captured a sneaky little look from a World War II re-enactment. I love moments like this, a completely honest expression. Nothing compares to it, not even the best model or actor!

Yoga in the mountains

Post ninety five!

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!

Dorien Coremans created a photograph that is so awesomely gorgeous it makes my heart beat a little faster. The figure is cropped perfectly in the clear blue sky just above the horizon.

Also as a little treat here is the first part to the photograph, it's equally as stunning, as is the rest of Dorien's Flickr stream.

Poppy Cockburn's beautiful image below gives me goosebumps every time I look at it. I can literally get lost in the tumbling fabric. I think that the crop is perfect and the fact that the there's a layer of fabric covering the model's face. All the fabric is very romantic and completely wonderful.
