staple street project by chris zedano

Chris Zedano is a portrait photographer currently based in New York City, and he’s been working on his Staple Street Project for a couple years now. I love street photography, and his work is great, so I wanted to share.

Also cool to note, the photographs from this project have been accepted into a group exhibition at AFF Berlin Gallery, part of the European Month of Photography in Berlin in November 2010.

Check out some samples below, and the Staple Street Project site for more!

simon duhamel: vintage hair

I love the vintage look and am (mildly) obsessed with creating it in my own photos, which is why I was especially interested in this photo set from photographer Simon Duhamel. He took hair photos for the 2009 graduating class of the Kazz Academy.

Here is his description of the post-processing:

They were shot on a blue background but the colors were washed out, the highlights were yellow and the skin tones were shifting on the magenta side of the spectrum due to time. So we lit and shot the pictures accordingly, all digital, and I colorized the shots, soften the skin to match our vintage shot and retouched the hair. The hair was the only element that would remain in it’s original color, for obvious reasons.

You can view all the images here.

new polaroid cameras

Oooo look at this. Now that Polaroid is back, they’re releasing some fancy new cameras, called the PIC 1000 ($100 or less). The wood one… I wants it.

I was just thinking about the Supersampler from lomo and thinking I should use mine more and go out and take some photos. I checked out lomography.com to get inspired, here are some good ones I found, doesn’t it make you wanna go out and take photos with this cool camera?
