A Day in Glasgow - Penelope Joan Gillies

Last month I took some more photographs for my personal series A Day in Glasgow (you can read more about this project here on the blog). This time I met Penelope Joan Gillies and went for a walk around the city's West End. 

When I lived in Glasgow I used to love going to the West End on the weekends and spending the mornings around the Botanic Gardens and Byres Rd. It is still one of my favourite areas in the city and it was great to discover some new places with Penelope.

You can have a look at all the photos from my morning with Penelope, as well as the previous part of the series with Daniel, on my website:

On another related note, last weekend I shot an editorial in Glasgow for the new issue of I Heart Magazine. I Heart is a French magazine that focuses on a different new city in every issue. The team travelled to Glasgow and asked me to shoot some fashion, and I chose some of my favuorite places in the city as locations. I just collected the photos from the lab yesterday and can't really wait to see them published in the new issue which is out in January!

Wroclaw

I've just realized that I haven't updated the blog in a while. It's probably the longest I've been without posting anything new since I created the blog in 2009 so I'm gonna try to go back to the weekly updates.

These are some photos I took during my trip to Wroclaw, Poland, last month. It was my first time there and was really impressed by the architecture and also the light was amazing. You can see them bigger along with more photos on my website:

Over the last few weeks I've been busy with other projects. Last month I also shot the second part of my series A Day in Glasgow which should be up here on the blog by the end of next week. I've also created a new website for Girls on Film and I've been spending more time on Future Positive. Also add the 7.5h a day of my full-time job and you may understand why there hasn't been any update in so long!

Apart from this, I'm shooting an editorial for French magazine I Heart this Saturday. The magazine team travels to a different city for each issue and this time they've chosen Glasgow (good choice!).

A Day in Glasgow - Daniel Micah DeWolfe

Here are a few photos from the personal project I talked about a few weeks ago. In "A Day in Glasgow" I'm contacting Glasgow residents I hardly know and asking them to take me to their favourite places in the city, spending the day with them and documenting the whole experience.

For the first part of the series I decided to message Daniel Micah DeWolfe. Daniel is half American, half German and has been living in Glasgow for a year. He's a student at Glasgow School of Art and took me to his favourite haunts, starting in the West End and walking through Argyle Street to get to the city centre.

I hope to continue this series with some new photos next month. You can see the rest of the photos from the first part on my website:

Oblivion pt. XII

When I was selecting the photos for this post I realised that I hadn't uploaded images from my series "Oblivion" since December last year! To make up for it, here are some photographs I've taken since I bought the Contax T2 4 months ago.

You can check the rest of the series here and on my website.

I'm also starting a new personal project next weekend. I want to keep it secret until I publish the first photos, but here's a clue: Glasgow.

Last Days of College

Sorry about the lack of updates but I decided to take a little break this summer and spend most of my free time on my side project Future Positive.

I took these photos a few weeks ago and they were published in Bast Magazine. My friend Danielle Coates helped me again with the styling and the model is Anton Jones.

You can see the rest of the photos from the editorial on my website:

Sunday Zine Review #100: When Our Enamel Rots by Viktoria A. Lisbet

After more than a year and a half reviewing zines almost every Sunday, I've reached the 100th review! It's an exciting time and I guess 100 is a number that could be considered a milestone. 

There won't be more reviews for a couple of months after this one. I need some time to focus on my parallel projects (Future Positive), but I promise I'll be back with some great zines. Meanwhile, keep an eye on the Facebook Page for zine-related news!

When Our Enamel Rots by Viktoria A.Lisbet is one of the Pogo Books' publications I received months ago. Viktoria is an Austrian photographer currently living in the United States who likes to shoot highly-saturated images and what he describes as scenes of "slapstick erotica".

The book is a collection of all the scenes along with a selection of some of his personal images.  Viktoria's portraits are a mixture between candid and staged situations where the subjects are presented in a surreal manner, whilst his still life photography is random and direct.

When Our Enamel Rots is the second monograph that the Austrian photographer produced for Pogo Books last year. You can find more information about Viktoria's work in this interviews with No Thoughts and Kaltblut Magazine.

Sunday Zine Review #99: 28 Pictures by Ye Rin Mok

Ye Rin Mok is a Korean photographer who has been living in Los Angeles since she was 12 years old. In this book published by SSE Project, Ye Rin Mok presents a collection of 28 photos which have a common element: the colour pink.

These photos were taken over the past few years and it was never Ye Rin Mok's intention to look for pink things although she says that pink is a very photogenic colour and that it automatically lifts her mood.

You can find more about 28 Pictures and Ye Rin Mok's work on the SSE Project's online shop.
