Infra, a wonderland?
I remember seeing a series of pictures last year with pink landscapes and writing it off as fake and over-photoshopped. However upon discovering artist Richard Mosse's series Infra I realised there was so much more to these images then the representations of colour.
Richard Mosse is born in Ireland, 1980 but now resides in NY, USA working as an artist.
This series called Infra uses an absolute military surveillance technology to capture ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is a type of Infared colour film called Kodak Aerochrome primarily used to render spectrums of light beyond the human eyes capabilities. The hues captured are translated into a terrain of lavender, crimson and hot pink.
These photographs were taken in his journeys to Congo between 2010-11. During this time he would approach rebel groups to capture their image and switch allegiances through the progression of his work.
The narrative within the work is expressed through a colossal of visual hues that tell a tale more complicated than what the human eye can tell.
The following images are from Intra, 2010-2011 all by Richard Mosse

Yellow Checks
Styling some outfits I wear!
I love shopping on the high street, especially since they've become quite skilled at copying designer items… One of my favourite new pieces for spring is this yellow checkered coat! I ran up and down oxford street trying to get this in a size XS. Strangely enough I like tight coats… Thankfully for the 3 Zara's I found in Soho, I snapped up this baby :).
Now that I'm looking at this image I wouldn't say it was completely ripped off, merely inspired. After all you can't claim yellow checkers can you….

It reminds me of this:

Past: London Fashion Week Day 3: Phoebe English AW 12
Hi there lovely,
So heres one of my old drafts which for some reason I never published! Here it is pretty much unaltered from September 2012 :).
Some things coming up:
Coverage from LFW/LCW AW Mens Week 2013:
Hentsch Man,James Long, T. Lipop
Photo-story of 'Let them Eat Cake!' featuring the lovely Antonia from M&P
Frequent updates of test shoots
---
To be able to attend LFW again this year "unofficially" as a photographer has been different. This is the second year I have seen the city turned upside down for takeover; the fashion escapade. For anyone that's been able to live in London, New York, Milan, Paris and attend shows throughout the year, you know that it's work.
The reason why I've always been so intrigued with Fashion is because its not just another industry. It's one of the most provoking and expressive sort.
Some snippets from today's Phoebe English AW12 show.
