Guess who finally upgraded to iPhone 5? This kid did! A little behind the times, I know. But who doesn't get excited over new tech trends? - <i>don't even get me started on my excitement levels over the new <a href="http://www.apple.com/ios/ios7/" target="_blank">iOS 7</a> software due this September </i>-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, I suppose one of the down sides to always upgrading to the newest most exciting tech trend is leaving your cute tech accessories behind. I had just got my black and white initial <a href="http://minnieandemma.com/blwhinphorip.html" target="_blank">Minnie & Emma</a> case a couple months ago but could not resist the temptation of the upgrade from 4 to 5. So now, I'm faced with the extreme challenge of finding a new case. The options: gold and white mmmmmmm - my favorite color duo at the moment. So $55 out the window on the 4 and now $30 expected to retreat out of my spending account....yayyyy technology...</div>

CORNELL CORNELL CORNELL! Probably the most fun I've had on a shoot. This was my first time using a portable flash (quite the experience getting it set up.) Normally I don't like to tell people how to pose or really explore posed portraits. However, Cornell was so great and worked so well with my directions and gave me some great poses. She took her roll seriously but still had fun (I hope.) I can't wait to shoot with her again. The double shadow that was produced from the two flashes I set up came out really nice in most of the pictures. Although, I really wish I had played around with the point of view more. Over all, this shoot was a great learning experience and such a great time.<br />

Similar to the Juliann shoot, I got these pictures within the last quarter of the hour shoot. I haven't worked with indoor lighting in a while so it was definitely an experience trying get the reflectors and tripod to fit in the same room. Danni is so sweet and dear to me I wanted to really capture a more raw image of her, again similar to Juliann. My style really is find what you're looking for through what is already there.<br />

When I'm taking pictures, it's not my style to tell people how to pose. I enjoy watching how the subject interacts with the camera and I try to pull something out of them that I'm searching for. Usually this technique makes people nervous in front of the camera. They expect direction and a roll to be given to them. However, I like to catch whats really there in front of me. Usually I can find what I'm looking for within the last 15 minutes of an hour shoot and that's where the bottom three pictures came from. The blue contrast/black and white setting is my favorite and really worked well with these shots. Juliann means so much to me and has gotten my through so much, I really enjoyed getting such beautiful pictures from her.<br />

So this semester I'm finally taking a portrait photography class. The first class in the studio was really exciting because we got to work with light meters and different lights and flashes. It was like the excitement of photo one all over again: learning the basics that I've always wanted to know to advance more as a photographer. So I'm not a total fan of the composition and the lighting in the third one especially but they were my first shots in the studio on black background so I thought I would post them as a tribute. </div>

I'm currently taking a portrait photography class at school and was asked to pick my top 10 favorite portraits that I've taken. I was really focused on portraits while I was abroad so naturally my top 10 are from my adventures abroad. </div>

This weekend our little trio, Caitlin, Lauren and I, visited Perugia for it's annual chocolate festival! We hit up quite a bit of chocolate in Brussels last weekend, but clearly the chocolate didn't make it through the week...or 2 days for some of us...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we pressed through the freezing wind chill and stalked up on all sorts of chocolate for family and friends back home. I bought a scarf and gloves while we were at it but lost one of the gloves while we were running for our train...that we missed. So typical, I had only had the pair for 30 minutes before I lost one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the two pictures above were sadly my best shots. The overcast lightening was nice as always, but my hands were too frozen to take pictures, so this is all you get. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just really liked the focus and contrast in both pictures, it made the B&W come out nicely.</div>

I only had the guts to ask one girl if I could take her picture. The others I was too nervous of the outcome.<br />The first picture of the girl sketching is my favorite. I didn't have to edit this one at all. The lighting was so beautiful in that street, the shot came out really great.<br />The second one came out nice too with the sun peeking through the bottom left corner. The I LOVE NY sticker was a nice touch as well, and for some reason really popular here.<br />The lighting in the third picture didn't come out as great as I would've liked but the moment in the picture was still nice.<br />OK, the second to last picture of the girl was my first official street fashion photograph. She was the only one I asked if I could take her picture and she was so great about it.<br />Trash pictures are always easy but the contrast was too good to pass up.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />::photos taken by <a href="http://brutalbudget.blogspot.com">BrutaLBudget</a>::Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01601515162326045431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749653542339401519.post-67433175857823965362011-10-11T05:07:00.000-07:002011-10-11T05:20:29.153-07:00BOBOLI GARDENS<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAcV7Jxa9ALjsYP-GWdGD9eLceEmkUX5CfVWKJea29tpg3bg6B1n23l1O91h1MTuyTJnNdm1F4xOl6ISBveV5p0O05hJSdi1jQ644TwztKowfBAmLQNb-w29tjWL7dh5PlLnIMQ9ai9vs/s1600/IMG_3530_1995.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 794px; height: 529px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAcV7Jxa9ALjsYP-GWdGD9eLceEmkUX5CfVWKJea29tpg3bg6B1n23l1O91h1MTuyTJnNdm1F4xOl6ISBveV5p0O05hJSdi1jQ644TwztKowfBAmLQNb-w29tjWL7dh5PlLnIMQ9ai9vs/s1600/IMG_3530_1995.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRCoKsjoz1NsjyPVQbfMY8zVnGBOjI-BNdC02A09E1n5o1Ij-9DtCruA_B1uI7kxK0rVmQ61u36L69rXVxOoZgomjwJy9e8FX_j73i6ewKHM7cNLQkNoRnzIGOaf0p6a2X1k1jCWnXz70/s1600/IMG_3535_1999.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 793px; height: 528px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRCoKsjoz1NsjyPVQbfMY8zVnGBOjI-BNdC02A09E1n5o1Ij-9DtCruA_B1uI7kxK0rVmQ61u36L69rXVxOoZgomjwJy9e8FX_j73i6ewKHM7cNLQkNoRnzIGOaf0p6a2X1k1jCWnXz70/s1600/IMG_3535_1999.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSFFTEedkPiKq7RGRO0fwSgXGH3jcV8xhCYGavMz-RuuuHZmb7jAAURyXIIT_zLSzMc5ZTtHP04aHswNQf-hCQ1Dbq75hLzg-DeqtgjkmssV7DPw2Hl8Y5Z7tuk2piG1Fwqn8YRLkjO5o/s1600/IMG_3526_1992.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 793px; height: 528px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSFFTEedkPiKq7RGRO0fwSgXGH3jcV8xhCYGavMz-RuuuHZmb7jAAURyXIIT_zLSzMc5ZTtHP04aHswNQf-hCQ1Dbq75hLzg-DeqtgjkmssV7DPw2Hl8Y5Z7tuk2piG1Fwqn8YRLkjO5o/s1600/IMG_3526_1992.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">These pictures were taken at the Boboli Gardens in Florence, just behind the Pitti Palace. The gardens have a much better view than Piazzale Michelangelo just because of the setting. You get a view of the entire city with beautiful trees and grass behind you. My friends and I took advantage of the sweet spot and enjoyed some cheap wine on a blanket.<br />While I really liked how the first two pictures came out in B&W, I wish the sky wasn't so over exposed. But in the third picture, the sky and grass came out really nicely in color.<br /></div><br /><br />::photos taken by <a href="http://brutalbudget.blogspot.com">BrutaLBudget</a>::Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01601515162326045431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749653542339401519.post-66166212968314718632011-10-11T01:15:00.000-07:002011-10-11T05:07:47.191-07:00BRUSSELS<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-h1psvPwhCEhq2Lamv5diapV7WQLu_CSdFVlh9OfHbD7e7ogm1npnJhyOrmyzfF42UePPU_etP91ghPfq6BPMsc0g5FrQnia9WFtx7OGgO7P7qDhk-Kmra14QMzjVpcK15owpG6_Vrf8/s1600/BRUSSELS%2521%2521%2521_2152.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 805px; height: 536px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-h1psvPwhCEhq2Lamv5diapV7WQLu_CSdFVlh9OfHbD7e7ogm1npnJhyOrmyzfF42UePPU_etP91ghPfq6BPMsc0g5FrQnia9WFtx7OGgO7P7qDhk-Kmra14QMzjVpcK15owpG6_Vrf8/s1600/BRUSSELS%2521%2521%2521_2152.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkrXhHcK3F9xyJqaTuX9QUOxQNTH7588E9QYofPLAihmZyCSSn-XETHOC-vP30YhMdfdaRn5QpC_Gwzjab2e2sGLTf49sPgPkBC9NNgwFOoWL1yGDyMz4t6PLn5BfsZ7ZxRjGNmQ8qoU4/s1600/BRUSSELS%2521%2521%2521_2122.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 805px; height: 536px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkrXhHcK3F9xyJqaTuX9QUOxQNTH7588E9QYofPLAihmZyCSSn-XETHOC-vP30YhMdfdaRn5QpC_Gwzjab2e2sGLTf49sPgPkBC9NNgwFOoWL1yGDyMz4t6PLn5BfsZ7ZxRjGNmQ8qoU4/s1600/BRUSSELS%2521%2521%2521_2122.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc2pEj7ihV834flV0-Ke63QBVBvoG_CpZkWUdAycFnO5kpTl7qbK8e2WevJUCzn_40CQgnpZ7VhJbojepNxfoXtu4cM-odSUig1MY7zH79mbRk8jj0zUWouBo-DyZr6horL0txlUvf34c/s1600/BRUSSELS%2521%2521%2521_2148.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 804px; height: 534px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc2pEj7ihV834flV0-Ke63QBVBvoG_CpZkWUdAycFnO5kpTl7qbK8e2WevJUCzn_40CQgnpZ7VhJbojepNxfoXtu4cM-odSUig1MY7zH79mbRk8jj0zUWouBo-DyZr6horL0txlUvf34c/s1600/BRUSSELS%2521%2521%2521_2148.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQaNh6rWf0dTHo0zWk6VR5OSMbw7vwUaHLwmRpShkb8gtnGU_G6K6S_VfI_8lduz9u_03eFD-U92CxmO_lLg_ulYs63Z6Yk1VnW1QxLKqJD-32aLawYc9s5n8Jv9V3nSYf-dgfaV-GZjE/s1600/BRUSSELS%2521%2521%2521_2109.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 805px; height: 538px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQaNh6rWf0dTHo0zWk6VR5OSMbw7vwUaHLwmRpShkb8gtnGU_G6K6S_VfI_8lduz9u_03eFD-U92CxmO_lLg_ulYs63Z6Yk1VnW1QxLKqJD-32aLawYc9s5n8Jv9V3nSYf-dgfaV-GZjE/s1600/BRUSSELS%2521%2521%2521_2109.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;">I'm officially obsessed with Brussels! Maybe I've spent too much time in old fashion Florence, but Brussesls was such an incredible breath of fresh air. It was so much more metropolitan but with the most beautiful architecture. Just the apartment buildings had so many crazy layers, railings, details, boarders, and everyone was so incredibly nice. Any city that is known for chocolate, waffles, and fries is my kind of city but I'm officially in love after visiting.<br />Overcast weather has proven to be my lucky natural lighting. In the first picture, the sunset lit up the sky with this really gorgeous orange glow that hit the staircase like a spotlight.<br />The exposure came out really well in the second picture. I ended up using infrared B&W and up-ing the contrast a little. I'm probably the most happy with the quality of this picture.<br />The third picture is my attempt of experimenting with street shots. I get nervous taking random people's pictures right in front of them, but I'm working on it!<br />The last one I just really liked how the lines and lighting came out in the streets.<br /></div> </div><br /><br />::photos taken by <a href="http://brutalbudget.blogspot.com/">BrutaLBudget</a>::Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01601515162326045431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749653542339401519.post-27495994382080273492011-09-12T03:16:00.000-07:002011-10-11T01:14:56.324-07:00ROMA!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL_KBYIgwfmtMkKkuDI4ZiuVk_zKKqkYTJfs-T2YalrENWZCgKpG18ps915IlbZhYQhvK0Wf48BTWhKU6zQ_EPymc3snWB-N2I9gdmkHOdeYxgCsBrtGJK78TdUOUJJil91nnYI8DEYJs/s1600/BB4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 1021px; height: 680px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL_KBYIgwfmtMkKkuDI4ZiuVk_zKKqkYTJfs-T2YalrENWZCgKpG18ps915IlbZhYQhvK0Wf48BTWhKU6zQ_EPymc3snWB-N2I9gdmkHOdeYxgCsBrtGJK78TdUOUJJil91nnYI8DEYJs/s1600/BB4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-nJAzNvyFUgsYByO8qon5yvHMDAHuFdOAfKad_WZf3pfmuAQM0UQguZPAa25j2bhxB3C40v3njf7Xm6Vk6VjfXSkE-H1DQmzbVA1tiow7xp5cQEWtTSke2aSwL1qKYSSZnz5NqDlKvBg/s1600/BB2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 1019px; height: 679px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-nJAzNvyFUgsYByO8qon5yvHMDAHuFdOAfKad_WZf3pfmuAQM0UQguZPAa25j2bhxB3C40v3njf7Xm6Vk6VjfXSkE-H1DQmzbVA1tiow7xp5cQEWtTSke2aSwL1qKYSSZnz5NqDlKvBg/s1600/BB2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe5bVae14Ar6WhEJf-dKDaH44VagV4iS-Zf__pFkzMI49khXTfxCRj6ANmkGJm96a1-ZMIv1MuLIccAgrHGzUZp2KjvXaDSvlI3NV48Qtalf0a8ppMACwHE8pDoxfJYqa1jaTlZZ14k0g/s1600/BB1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 1019px; height: 679px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe5bVae14Ar6WhEJf-dKDaH44VagV4iS-Zf__pFkzMI49khXTfxCRj6ANmkGJm96a1-ZMIv1MuLIccAgrHGzUZp2KjvXaDSvlI3NV48Qtalf0a8ppMACwHE8pDoxfJYqa1jaTlZZ14k0g/s1600/BB1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />So it's taken me a little longer then I thought it would to get into the groove of taking pictures abroad but Rome finally gave me the push I needed. I'm going to try to start taking more street shots, but we'll see how that goes (you know how unreliable I am.)<br />The first picture is just alright to me, I really liked all the different shapes and textures mainly.<br />One of our program directors has this huge tattoo on her back that really made the middle picture incredible in B&W.<br />But my favorite is the last one of my friend Elizabeth. We visited the Spanish Steps at the perfect time. The lighting was so beautiful at the top of the steps it made experimenting with the lighting really fun and exciting. Not to mention, I had a great muse.<br />More pictures to come hopefully!<br /><br /><br /></div><br />::pictures taken by <a href="http://brutalbudget.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">BrutaLBudget</span></a>::Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01601515162326045431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749653542339401519.post-39666297049164367242011-08-25T14:37:00.001-07:002011-08-25T14:55:58.484-07:00FIRENZE<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8ft9FYNM-Tdd4vKnEFZKLatjevpGafjpN3b8ahMakQqxmRVe5zuGzNjzC0roLUqjvZI5YXXJf5c30T0j5HaRqhMXnRK5s_WGXJFvKPbswO3ZrgMu5m9Id1pmC3mAAn7WwmcR9LkQKL2M/s1600/21%2521_1076.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 916px; height: 610px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8ft9FYNM-Tdd4vKnEFZKLatjevpGafjpN3b8ahMakQqxmRVe5zuGzNjzC0roLUqjvZI5YXXJf5c30T0j5HaRqhMXnRK5s_WGXJFvKPbswO3ZrgMu5m9Id1pmC3mAAn7WwmcR9LkQKL2M/s1600/21%2521_1076.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>

<br /></a><div style="text-align: center;">So, once again, I made you promises I didn't keep. Well, I'm hoping that studying abroad in Florence, Italy might help me stay focused with you...who ever you are. I'll be flying to Rome and then Florence on August 28th and then back to LAX on December 17th. I'm really excited to be going to a place with amazing history, art, and culture. Lucky for you, this hot mess will be posting all my favorite pictures I take while abroad. Hopefully I'll get some good ones for you.

So, to start things fresh, I'll introduce you to my latest muse. She's poised, reserved, and beautiful, and knows who she is. The pictures of my little friend came out more wonderful than I had hoped in color, but I've spent too many long romantic nights with B&W to even consider otherwise. What really made the pictures for me was the perfect-overcast-lighting and her incredible presence in front of the camera. Usually I struggle with animal and children shoots, but she was really the best and wasn't distracted by the camera at all.<br /><br />Most of you are aware of my interest in fashion photography and my desire to eventually have a career in the field. But until I get there, I'll be bustin' out the canon whenever I get the chance and sharing some of my favorites with you. So bare with my amateur pics, I'm still learning, but thanks for always supporting me, and I hope I haven't lost you forever. I promise I'll be good this time.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">::Photos taken by <a href="http://brutalbudget.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-style: italic;">BrutaLBudget</span></a> ::<br /></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01601515162326045431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749653542339401519.post-54162499726178581282011-05-02T16:00:00.000-07:002011-05-02T16:07:09.606-07:00Thinking of Julia<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/gogh/starry-night/gogh.starry-night.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 1013px; height: 834px;" src="http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/gogh/starry-night/gogh.starry-night.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">"Looking at the stars always makes me dream...Why, I ask myself, shouldn't the shining dots of the sky be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France?

Oh, and how you can see the left lower lashes falling off in the 2nd photo. Details are my weakness. If you don't know what to get me for Christmas, I would love you forever if you gave me black and white details.<br /></div><br />::photos obtained from <a href="http://fashiongonerogue.com/ana-claudia-michels-joshua-allen-contributor-magazine-fw-2010/#more-40555">fashiongonerogue.com</a>::Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01601515162326045431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749653542339401519.post-14907169839777653132010-11-18T18:09:00.000-08:002010-11-18T18:20:12.273-08:00BO DON<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip_Aq6EOw7_TwA3KEbXOyjN4kRC3Qleztpt0ww6Avn4wlC3ZOm6lypFSrYfS9egibjOFigD6PiU-PoU0BZNGpl0cIe0Vavrg7vytWXwiJQICck7iFUt7_A5N8IeW_SfuumN59yko83Pt0/s1600/bo-don1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 958px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip_Aq6EOw7_TwA3KEbXOyjN4kRC3Qleztpt0ww6Avn4wlC3ZOm6lypFSrYfS9egibjOFigD6PiU-PoU0BZNGpl0cIe0Vavrg7vytWXwiJQICck7iFUt7_A5N8IeW_SfuumN59yko83Pt0/s1600/bo-don1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNRmYgCmv1ZtObNrpaxN93VaBgVfwTgecydX7W-fdPNhAhB0GvS0E4DCDqooX4OEP2AjITKLUtIpgBXf0SETAKXJYCoW-0SlxlvYGU6ao0JlIc_yePRE5_2dD58IexppT3ngO4A8YQ2HY/s1600/bo-don4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 958px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNRmYgCmv1ZtObNrpaxN93VaBgVfwTgecydX7W-fdPNhAhB0GvS0E4DCDqooX4OEP2AjITKLUtIpgBXf0SETAKXJYCoW-0SlxlvYGU6ao0JlIc_yePRE5_2dD58IexppT3ngO4A8YQ2HY/s1600/bo-don4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3K8B9MI8gBXPkXH_m1zIRnuVMFNC3nZaGRZjaVRuNaIHEK7XYg4SDQBmvhkIAmYaNXmZdZr3ShmI3tXpQnbTK8m61lZfSZbSTjBcaAg4UfyNMLig_wRDI7NBbrebrFsEWMHD-KrLoFxE/s1600/bo-don5.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 958px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3K8B9MI8gBXPkXH_m1zIRnuVMFNC3nZaGRZjaVRuNaIHEK7XYg4SDQBmvhkIAmYaNXmZdZr3ShmI3tXpQnbTK8m61lZfSZbSTjBcaAg4UfyNMLig_wRDI7NBbrebrFsEWMHD-KrLoFxE/s1600/bo-don5.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The variation of textures and shapes are incredible in this Alexander Neumann shoot.

I love how dirty and greasy the set of this shoot is. Even Stone's legs and feet are filthy, and combined with the elegant draping of the dresses and worn in floor panels, I've died and gone to heaven. It may sound odd at first, but I'm fascinated by art that brings out beauty through something dirty, deformed, or ugly. Here is this beautiful woman in gorgeous gowns sprawled out on a dusty floor and cootie-embedded chair. It makes us neat freaks cringe at the thought of thousands of dollars dragging behind you on those floors and germs collecting under her grime encrusted nails beds. But look at her. Stone's attached to the rotting chair, rooted into the floorboards, and blissfully unaware of her beauty's contrast with the ugly room around her. A beautiful face living in the ugly world of fashion.<br /></div><br />:photos obtained from <a href="http://fashiongonerogue.com/lara-stone-vogue-china-december-2010-willy-vanderperre/#more-40752">fashiongonerogue.com</a>::Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01601515162326045431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749653542339401519.post-28589741050709533132010-11-17T07:44:00.000-08:002010-11-17T08:07:51.190-08:00WIOLA KOVAL<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiotddnTzm0qoHlF2MZadsttRFNfzEZlHB6lsOu7-_6BfyuotAK4ig7m3P7aryyZMAYaxmetle-daUyc3m7A01JNSkrxDYgCf2jRvTkXeaXQf_OAM4dct2HfcHo43bSxahGw6FumwR_LJ0/s1600/soft4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 551px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiotddnTzm0qoHlF2MZadsttRFNfzEZlHB6lsOu7-_6BfyuotAK4ig7m3P7aryyZMAYaxmetle-daUyc3m7A01JNSkrxDYgCf2jRvTkXeaXQf_OAM4dct2HfcHo43bSxahGw6FumwR_LJ0/s1600/soft4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJZfxvFfOtd7IieSFT2k0h4KDjcM-4w7s6lbGzIh28na3sQJd7k4K7d2Q7pWZ4aer8vB5npHCBWXGqN-UxfzbiarBbwt72muiU5z5_uRTopgHiMSLgLARH-H_wOCZDcBhsoWg6R96rEhw/s1600/soft7.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 551px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJZfxvFfOtd7IieSFT2k0h4KDjcM-4w7s6lbGzIh28na3sQJd7k4K7d2Q7pWZ4aer8vB5npHCBWXGqN-UxfzbiarBbwt72muiU5z5_uRTopgHiMSLgLARH-H_wOCZDcBhsoWg6R96rEhw/s1600/soft7.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZbkDDf7bzsODN8xCJPB0Td30FgGcfAt-MI7Ba0rX8rgAem15uqXRscaPsB5ZXeV7uGTz8NNBJ5OYjidEzO6XQlYCJWz_3KFQ_FrZaiHl-BUWCQsWXhIPnLyYBEnOpHH_yH065luBDC1s/s1600/soft8.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 650px; height: 894px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZbkDDf7bzsODN8xCJPB0Td30FgGcfAt-MI7Ba0rX8rgAem15uqXRscaPsB5ZXeV7uGTz8NNBJ5OYjidEzO6XQlYCJWz_3KFQ_FrZaiHl-BUWCQsWXhIPnLyYBEnOpHH_yH065luBDC1s/s1600/soft8.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Through romantic lighting and soft textures, Koval captures the comfort of leisure. I LOVE the dress in the first photo above. The sequined corset is absolutely wonderful with the matching trim. Not to mention I adore the warmth and purity of natural light. Lets be honest, I mostly just like the second photo because of the chair. It's almost winter and I'm dying to go home and get cozy in the cold. I want to jump into the picture and push Koval out and cozy up in the chair with my book on an cloudy day. We could probably both fit but she'd look much cuter then me so that just wont do. Finally, the color pallet of the third photo is overwhelmingly soft and comforting, let me in!<br /></div><br /><br />::photos obtained from <a href="http://fashiongonerogue.com/wiola-koval-emre-guven-harpers-bazaar-turkey-november-2010/#more-40507">fashiongonerogue.com</a>::Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01601515162326045431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749653542339401519.post-22757236423498696962010-11-17T07:13:00.000-08:002010-11-17T07:41:01.477-08:00SARA BLOMQVIST & JEREMY YOUNG<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgswWlm-Le8asw-JWxxBC2_FbgbBUy1Vsq9GSFZZ6OqMfEJOgP3paylTw_UpFVjDEJ7yWMm-dzH14SbuKFOONAM8aVUBSIKK6vX7rnNvozUn2XrJXW5BkFRI0s8SrB_bVDx0iqrIJtOWqA/s1600/love2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 775px; height: 1000px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgswWlm-Le8asw-JWxxBC2_FbgbBUy1Vsq9GSFZZ6OqMfEJOgP3paylTw_UpFVjDEJ7yWMm-dzH14SbuKFOONAM8aVUBSIKK6vX7rnNvozUn2XrJXW5BkFRI0s8SrB_bVDx0iqrIJtOWqA/s1600/love2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigMG1x9JH1lBZiKhwDMkPC_D4tpXgL53wdKUPH6Ybv_CH5GoECUJz2E3TDPReEFWHoD4TViqBV-ufm5R2twCSc2SlZVtnJnr4GaW5tFOLjMV3F0luSYcdrXD2krmXy-v3BLI3a5FCpeWU/s1600/love12.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 775px; height: 1001px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigMG1x9JH1lBZiKhwDMkPC_D4tpXgL53wdKUPH6Ybv_CH5GoECUJz2E3TDPReEFWHoD4TViqBV-ufm5R2twCSc2SlZVtnJnr4GaW5tFOLjMV3F0luSYcdrXD2krmXy-v3BLI3a5FCpeWU/s1600/love12.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The two pictures that I've showed you above don't hardly do this shoot justice. <span style="font-weight: bold;">A Love Story in Bloom</span> features a girl and boy romantically involved from the bedroom to the outdoors. There's quite a bit of boobies and one handsome butt, but if you're not into it then you might just stick to the collection I've given you above. What drew me to their connection was mainly how loving the pair is. The shoot could have gotten carried away sexy but instead the natural beauty and playfulness creates a sexy attraction that the viewer can enjoy. Messy hair and playing dress up doesn't seem to distract the pair at all. Instead it creates a sexy comfort zone that connects the viewer to a premature love story.<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgswWlm-Le8asw-JWxxBC2_FbgbBUy1Vsq9GSFZZ6OqMfEJOgP3paylTw_UpFVjDEJ7yWMm-dzH14SbuKFOONAM8aVUBSIKK6vX7rnNvozUn2XrJXW5BkFRI0s8SrB_bVDx0iqrIJtOWqA/s1600/love2.jpg"><br /></a><br />::photos obtained from <a href="http://fashiongonerogue.com/sara-blomqvist-andreas-ohlund-stockholm-spring-2011/#more-40574">fashiongonerogue.com</a>::Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01601515162326045431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749653542339401519.post-68006433136799961272010-11-11T18:26:00.001-08:002010-11-11T18:32:15.906-08:00EMMA WATSON<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPAYRiPYxPhfcc7i11QbatmNLJtgpCSetq1duy7DAS22ULk7izRdx1IDP9bDHxj9v1Sd1aC7hb0dX2X2SnjQ61e8T0F9x6JNpl8gjQw9MII9GiinHPrajY4i67nmJSapUBF_sEwjKnLoo/s1600/emma-marie4.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 1087px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPAYRiPYxPhfcc7i11QbatmNLJtgpCSetq1duy7DAS22ULk7izRdx1IDP9bDHxj9v1Sd1aC7hb0dX2X2SnjQ61e8T0F9x6JNpl8gjQw9MII9GiinHPrajY4i67nmJSapUBF_sEwjKnLoo/s1600/emma-marie4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">In honor of the new Harry Potter film debuting Thursday 18th at 12a.m.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I give you, the new and improved, Emma Watson. *Golf clap* well done Emma, you've managed to pull off the pixie quite well while freeing your contracted long locks.

Each model has untamed hair, gorgeous eyes, and softened skin to let their personal features stand out on their own. These models don't have what some might label as the "typical" model look. However, because of their different set of looks, the models bring a fresh look into fashion. I've mentioned before that I love Gemma Ward with her cat like eyes and sharp cheek bones, but her look has become 'the' look. Models like the ones above are what give photographers personality and a fresh set of emotions to draw a viewer to.
