SONNY VANDEVELDE rolde via het nachtleven van Sydney de modefotografie in. Echte erkenning kreeg hij pas in de jaren negentig toen hij Australië inruilde voor Europa. Nu behoort hij tot de grootste backstage fotografen van de wereld, maar hij schiet ook ‘gewone’ fashion editorials. ‘Soms vergeten mensen dat een beetje’, aldus Vandevelde.

During my time in London I became a huge fan of Dan Wilton’s photography. Untill the 26th you can check out this cool collaborative exhibition with filmographer Huse Monfaradi. They captured 54 friends and colleagues looking a bit terrifying as they cuss and scream in the camera. If you’re in London, go and have a look around at londonewcastle Project.
Melissa Scholten has portrayed 120 Amsterdam graffiti artists for her Alter Ego project. All of them were active in the 70’s, 80’s en 90’s. They have inspired many graffiti writers with their style, courage and creations. Melissa chose to portrait them in black & white at a favourite spot chosen by each individual artist. A book is to be released later.
Hereby I would like to introduce the amazing and wonderful Louise te Poele. I would like to show her work to you because her work on the one hand consists of amazing fashion photography and the other hand beautiful and carefully created Art photographs. With her art work she photographs the people she grew up with in a small town in the east of the Netherlands. Its very well explained on her website so I’m not going to try and make that any better; Louise te Poele uses the medium of photography. Her sculptures rise from her fascination with the depiction of humans.

Let’s take a minute and discuss Steven Meisel’s superiority. Water & Oil is published in the August issue of Vogue Italia. It’s almost as genius as his terrorism shoot.
Visionaire brengt een eerbetoon aan de genie Alexander McQueen. Toch is het meer dan alleen een eerbetoon: dit speciale nummer is gepubliceerd na een gepland project tussen de ontwerper en Visionaire, maar wat er uiteindelijk nooit van is gekomen. read more…

Ever since I bumped into this photo I have been a bit of fan of the photo’s that Trey Ratcliff takes. His photography style is called HDR. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. I won’t bother you with the technical aspects of it, as you can read it on Wikipedia. The above photo is one of his recent shots and makes me say ‘Woah!’. Check out more of his work on Flickr. You can also follow him on his Stuck in Customs website and download a tutorial, if you want to play around with HDR yourself. I gave it a few tries myself already.
Glamcult loves MARIO TESTINO. Spraken we hem amper een jaar gelden nog over zijn boek MaRio de Janeiro Testino, nu vertelt hij ons – wederom in een exclusief interview – over zijn speciale band met KATE MOSS. Hun jarenlange vriendschap en samenwerking heeft geleid tot een boek waar we ons eigenlijk al lang op verheugden: Kate Moss by Mario Testino.

Yesterday fashion photographer Corinne Day (1965) passed away after a long battle against cancer. Her anti glamour photography conquered the world in the early nineties and Corinne Day almost single-handedly launched the career of Kate Moss. The epic shoot The 3rd summer of love, styled by Melanie Ward and featuring a sixteen year old Moss, was published in The Face in July 1990 and can be regarded as the beginning of a new era in fashion photography.
