I used to work as a pilot until I bought my first camera 3 years ago. Eventually I couldn't continue with my flying career. All I wanted to do was to put 100% of myself in to photography. And so I did.<br /><br /><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-z7GUD-6CDR8/T15CxczykyI/AAAAAAAAFwc/uIyz1rVf8A4/s700/IMG_1108%2520%252815%2529.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Jjurvg7duxI/T15CzHOx6WI/AAAAAAAAFxU/h2jAfWrRrpA/s700/desert.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">GR: </span>Inspiration/influences?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">CG: </span>Inspiration comes from places I visit mostly. Sometime I come to a place and it feels like it "talks" to me. I have thousands of photos I like, but I don't know what to do with all of them. Just a few comes up on my webpage.<br />A movie that inspired me was "Himmel über Berlin" with Wim Wenders. Besides that, a lot of other things I guess. Life. If I'm allowed to be a bit corny. :)<br /><br /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-hFNI-GjaRF0/T15CwwcadtI/AAAAAAAAFwQ/eV-P0I_j95s/s700/First_Aid_Kit_06_mindre.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-YlWHivdOjcc/T15Cw_JqsUI/AAAAAAAAFwM/yHfLIGRZnMY/s700/First_Aid_Kit_03_mindre.jpg" /><br /><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">GR: </span>Favorite band(s) at the moment.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">CG: </span>First Aid Kit or Timber Timbre.<br /><br /><img style="width: 700px; height: 456px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-me7RKw0umbs/T15CzgYDCPI/AAAAAAAAFxo/N_79A7JGtNQ/s800/helin1.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 699px; height: 467px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-hqkTPAn89-o/T15C0K5Vd5I/AAAAAAAAFx8/eXva6vns4AM/s800/meadow.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">GR:</span> What kind of camera(s) do you shoot with?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">CG:</span> I shoot with an old Nikon camera from 65 and a compact olympus camera. I also shoot a lot of digital but I don't do much with these photos.<br /><br /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-9HQJfzbjdQw/T15Cx-6KqMI/AAAAAAAAFws/P77wT14olR4/s700/callekor.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-OeG-FUXcl5I/T15CxsRE6XI/AAAAAAAAFww/lgGSan8nM1c/s700/IMG_1142%2520%252828%2529.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">GR: </span>Night owl or early bird?<br /><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">CG: </span>It varies, sometimes I'm a night owl and sometimes I'm an early bird. I'm often a night owl when I have a lot of inspiration.<br /><br /><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uUiNM5jAJZM/T15C0daTLRI/AAAAAAAAFyE/KgrKIUrEAwQ/s700/mig2.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-YrtavH7mswg/T15C1A7qahI/AAAAAAAAFyk/sM0uOZBqG3c/s700/ruffs.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">GR:</span> Favorite alcoholic beverage.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">CG: </span>I like mojitos very much, but a cold beer at the right time or a glass of red wine at the right time is also unbeatable. But I don't really drink that much.<br /><br /><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ua4NiGrVJ7Y/T15CySyzR5I/AAAAAAAAFxM/ldQqs3Atps4/s700/cecilie%2520so%2520beautiful.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 700px; height: 464px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-C7N5QgCwMNk/T15Cyr4fyvI/AAAAAAAAFw8/laLc018KCMg/s800/ceciliedrinking.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">GR:</span> Has modelling changed your perspective on photography?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">CG:</span> No, modeling and my own photography are two very separate things to me. I started modeling after I started taking photos and it didn't really change anything.<br /><br /><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-UHS10vTARnQ/T15C1tlZCcI/AAAAAAAAFyo/ApYUO3rUfJY/s700/tent.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 700px; height: 464px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7p5gnR-VEoY/T15C07-NxMI/AAAAAAAAFyU/3rFqJPqNsgc/s800/pralinuttan.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">GR: </span>Do you have any tips/tricks to share with someone just starting out in photography?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">CG: </span>Yes my tip would be, listen to advices but be critical, remember what you like and if that breaks rules, don't care about rules, in fact you should almost enjoy breaking them. And also take a lot of photos. That's the only way to get an eye for it. You do it for yourself, enjoy it.<br /><br /><img style="width: 699px; height: 466px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xAerm609hyA/T15CyGFAprI/AAAAAAAAFw4/16G3NO4TSng/s800/IMG_1146%2520%252829%2529.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 700px; height: 457px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-4LV769I3Rn8/T15CzjM_eFI/AAAAAAAAFxw/AOmbBr1r1J4/s800/heavenfromabove.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">GR: </span>You have $8 left in your wallet, what do you spend it on?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">CG: </span>Hmm that depends I guess. If it's the only money I have left, period, I would spend it wisely, oatmeal porridge can get you a long way for very little money. If 8 dollars is all I have left on me at the moment and it's a hot summer day. I would buy ice cream or a few cold beers for me and my friends.<br /><br /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-P8m-nX2OJgo/T15C1w0GbuI/AAAAAAAAFy4/qZUq-FhwVC8/s700/within-without.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />----------------------<br />To view more of <span class="style2">Christian Göran</span>'s photos<br /><a href="http://www.cgoran.com/"><span style="font-size:180%;">www.<span class="style2">cgoran.com</span></span></a><br />All original images via <a href="http://www.cgoran.com/">website</a><br />----------------------<br /></center>le sophiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05179807847860209276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209421044362186202.post-46762389769029152012-03-12T11:19:00.005-07:002012-03-12T11:27:55.785-07:00Just because..<center><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-tQ61zwo9Rdg/T14-GqttAkI/AAAAAAAAFvY/6RzErjFBe_g/s700/pink9.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 700px; height: 1063px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-790ZyTTJNyY/T14-GoWTxfI/AAAAAAAAFvU/qaZEkD8LJD4/s800/park1.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 700px; height: 964px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iNeawWFUXiM/T14-HreqK9I/AAAAAAAAFvs/Tq3m52vM3KQ/s800/bruna_tenorio2.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 700px; height: 918px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-s05j0EUHS9k/T14-GGPBJMI/AAAAAAAAFvA/4Gpz-vjqc4Y/s800/nicole_trunfio2.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 700px; height: 907px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JXitXy6b410/T14-FsPGbkI/AAAAAAAAFu0/f25uIGMzFvU/s800/daydream4.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 700px; height: 1054px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-WVwgyOA1nTs/T14-FpkrnYI/AAAAAAAAFuw/TeGjolJ8cYQ/s800/dansk6.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 700px; height: 922px;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-pKdc0Qh5_QI/T144x8k8FAI/AAAAAAAAFr0/LLduqjrodFM/s800/julia5.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 700px; height: 922px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xAEcpQuHI3A/T144zEDEkpI/AAAAAAAAFsU/0KYKwhldh7w/s800/julia2.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 700px; height: 944px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7fEeymoPJjQ/T146J_9OZpI/AAAAAAAAFuI/0ic9fr71SEg/s800/never5.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 700px; height: 1054px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qw8lfMkwSjs/T14-Fqk2w8I/AAAAAAAAFu4/j2WnVU_rqE4/s800/daydream2.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-St-UJjVrdUc/T14-GIb5cWI/AAAAAAAAFvI/kFAKT4YjN4s/s700/ionna.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 700px; height: 924px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iGF_F7GEWb8/T144yhQWz0I/AAAAAAAAFsI/w4rR-Blu1MI/s800/julia6.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">via fashiongonerogue</span><br /><br />I feel like we could all use a little bit of inspiration as we transition into the warmer weather.

I am a full time student studying political science and had always planned on going to law school, but not completely sold on that idea yet. I also work as a social worker at a youth homeless shelter and as a freelance photographer for a local newspaper. Photography has mostly been a hobby, creative outlet and a passion for me - I never really concerned myself with making money off of it, but rather doing what I wanted in the way that I wanted to do it.<br /><br /><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pXVxmYzcKPI/TygZdtuKnjI/AAAAAAAAFT0/QVgsAwLVldY/s700/15335140_800.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-d8LU8yfjFO0/TygZd5OSn9I/AAAAAAAAFTo/ayvUxALbknM/s700/15335217_800.jpg" /><br /><br /><strong>GR:</strong> Inspiration / influences?<br /><br /><strong>AS:</strong> Other photographers: Petra Collins, Saga Sigurdardottir, Steven Meisel, among many others. I draw inspiration for shoots from all kinds of things: fashion, art, music, nature, movies, fantasy, architecture, people I meet ... a random assortment of things I'm exposed to on a day to day basis.<br /><br /><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SKWyWcWk9ys/TygZcjSMspI/AAAAAAAAFTQ/adzlRESlwQE/s700/038_41_800.jpg" /><br /><br /><strong>GR:</strong> How did you become interested in photography?<br /><br /><strong>AS:</strong> I've always enjoyed taking photos, but I really got into it after my art teacher showed me a book from 1973 called Suburbia by Bill Owens and after taking a photojournalism class when I was 14 and then joining my high school newspaper. I mostly was a writer and editor, but one year convinced my teacher to let me participate in a state-wide photo competition and ended up winning best of show. After that I was given more freedom to participate in the photography aspect of newspaper and started focusing on that more rather than writing.<br /><br /><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-A329bGEvYPY/TygZeqJKO6I/AAAAAAAAFT4/SA7s74xPJqU/s700/15335858_800.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 701px; height: 1044px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-8kpU0TNue0s/TygZfZxibyI/AAAAAAAAFUI/fiZum6UDUWY/s800/smith01_smith01-R2-041-19_800.jpg" /><br /><br /><strong>GR:</strong> Favorite band(s) at the moment.<br /><br /><strong>AS:</strong> Wishbone Ash, Iron Claw, Lee Hazelwood, Marine Girls, The Green Arrows<br /><br /><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-beVriBwiaJY/TygZdLd-FDI/AAAAAAAAFTc/HBB8skUHBWo/s700/03340021_800.jpg" /><br /><br /><strong>GR:</strong> Do you have any photography tips/tricks for someone just starting out?<br /><br /><strong>AS:</strong> Other artists are a wonderful resource. Don't be afraid to reach out and contact others who inspire you, even strangers, with questions. So many people, both good friends and strangers, have been an enormous help with answering questions that I've had about photography, especially around the business aspect of it or questions about equipment. Most importantly I would say to be true to yourself and follow your heart. There will always be people who are critical no matter what you do... Concern yourself more with doing what feels right for you.<br /><br /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-iA4Wku39Klk/TygZcm_NZHI/AAAAAAAAFTM/yKu-DB-ftxk/s700/018_18A_800.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-uaNxhNdIBKQ/TygZg4tgZLI/AAAAAAAAFUg/_8QyInjrrrQ/s700/stonehenge%252520001_800.jpg" /><br /><br /><strong>GR:</strong> Night owl or early bird?<br /><br /><strong>AS:</strong> Total night owl. Although I wish I was better about getting up early because the days in Portland are super short during winter. I need more sunshine.<br /><br /><img style="width: 700px; height: 1057px;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-lTLzQf1tutI/TygZfNoHQVI/AAAAAAAAFUE/4eohTkz7Cvg/s800/15336199_800.jpg" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 700px; height: 1047px;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gwjuylDEF0w/TygZf2OutrI/AAAAAAAAFUU/J7iQXSn2PUo/s800/smith01_smith01-R5-051-24_800.jpg" /><br /><br /><strong>GR:</strong> 3 places to visit in Portland.<br /><br /><strong>AS:</strong> The Rose Garden in Washington Park during summer, The Rice Museum of Rocks and Minerals (technically in Hillsboro, about 30 minutes outside of downtown Portland), and a drive through the West Hills/Skyline Drive... there are some of the most amazing houses up there and great views of the city.<br /><br /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-CQDncV1yr48/TygZc98koVI/AAAAAAAAFUs/pzKkmHLLh0E/s700/035_38_800.jpg" /><br /><br /><strong>GR:</strong> How would you describe your personal style?<br /><br /><strong>AS:</strong> Optimistic, idealistic, romantic, & colorful.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />----------------------<br />To view more of Amanda Smith's <a href="http://www.aleighsmith.com">photos</a><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="http://www.aleighsmith.com/">www.aleighsmith.com</a><br /></span>All original images via <a href="http://www.aleighsmith.com">website</a><br />----------------------<br /><br /><br /><div></div></center>le sophiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05179807847860209276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209421044362186202.post-57107994533871246372012-01-31T08:15:00.000-08:002012-01-31T08:21:02.381-08:00I left my home.<center><iframe height="425" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/16560142?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" frameborder="0" width="700"></iframe><br /><br /><iframe height="425" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/18599782?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" frameborder="0" width="700"></iframe><br /><br /><iframe height="425" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/20977379?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" frameborder="0" width="700"></iframe><br /><br />How amazing/inspiring are these videos??

I'm taking ballet this semester so these little ballet flats are necessary for this Spring's survival. (the studs are necessary, too.) I saw this beautiful white crotchet top at American Eagle (can you believe that?) & I couldn't resist. I never shop there but I could not pass up on this little gem especially for Spring. 'OMFG' pouch is Rebecca Minkoff. One of my favorite designers of the moment, you can purchase her stuff at <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/sr?keyword=rebecca+minkoff&origin=PredictiveSearch">Nordstrom</a>. Nail lacquer is 'Get me to Taj on Time' by OPI.<br /></center>le sophiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05179807847860209276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209421044362186202.post-30895325888821562302012-01-29T11:46:00.000-08:002012-01-29T12:20:09.986-08:00Interview : Ryan Kenny<center><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-xWFhMju2mxU/TyWl2h0ukBI/AAAAAAAAFP0/ovuRYxZyeEA/s700/tumblr_lqcz75wVQ91qcjjej.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-LelNT3FvIbw/TyWl7qE1R_I/AAAAAAAAFQU/yp4AoZ7oA6k/s700/5757251899_394ba6dae2_b.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">GR:</span> Tell us a little bit about yourself and where you live.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">RK:</span> I’m a 20 year-old photographer born in Adelaide, Australia and I’ve just moved to Sydney.<br /><br /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-anULV0z8veI/TyWlpyA7ugI/AAAAAAAAFO4/_H52ssA17wk/s700/tumblr_lxpv5ncRSS1qcjjej.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7Xpa8QUgrZs/TyWmC0EfLeI/AAAAAAAAFQ0/Qb2_mQth-AA/s800/5651709627_c5e1d971f0_b.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-3xymNOCgd_Q/TyWmI2KEugI/AAAAAAAAFRI/fLN6YxU1kBI/s800/5855048659_9853a0b69a_b.jpg" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">GR:</span> Inspiration / influences?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">RK: </span>My love of beautiful people & places.
