I love great photography, so when our own aTek sent me a link to Emma Tempests photos, I was wowed straight away. After perusing through Emma’s website where she has multiple sets with a ton of photos in each set, the end conclusion, she’s got skills. The lighting, colouring and subject matter in each photo is quite breathtaking and beautifully captured. Have a look at a few of my favourites below and head on over to her site to see her whole collection, www.emmatempest.com.

Here’s a new gallery of photos featuring Lindsay Lohan and shot by photographer Hedi Slimane, who’s also shot the likes of Amy Winehouse and Kate Moss to name a few. The shots all look fairly nice, except for one thing, they all look quite similar, her poses and facial expressions don’t seem to change all that much through these 20 some odd photos.

Check the gallery below.

Photographer Robin Soulier is back with a new gallery of his photographs.

To be American and a slave to mass consumerism, I cannot help it.  I have never experienced ‘love at first sight’ but it came “relatively” close this morning when I stumbled upon the newest Diana F clone camera, Mr. Pink.  Mr. Pink is specifically made for me – with all the great optical features of an affordable camera, I am instantly drawn to this dazzling pink object.  The best part about this camera is the retail price of $105.00!  This should be added to my collection of cameras.  The Mr. Pink limited edition camera will be released in spring 2009.

Gavin Watson’s photographs have been hailed by Terry Richardson and were the visual inspiration for last year’s This is England. His newest book, Skins & Punks comes out next month and it is beautiful. More than a document of youth culture in 1980s Britain, Skins & Punks is a document of exuberant youth.

Set against the gray tones of Thatcher-led England the working-class kids in these photos pop off of the page in a way that could only be captured by one of them. That one was young Gavin who at the age of 13 decided to buy a camera instead of the binoculars he had been coveting. Right around that time, Watson also started to get into Two-Tone and skinhead culture. This book digs into his archives and, with little in the way of text, tells the story of Gavin and his pals from 1978-85.

Working-class England always took special pride in its appearance and the skins in this book illustrate this perfectly. Classic brands like Doc Marten, Fred Perry, Levi Strauss, Ben Sherman, Crombie are all over this book making it worth checking out if only for the fashion.

See below for some pics…
