On vacation the perception of what some of the things are that make us happy, becomes even more evident. Time, a lovely surrounding, at best sunny, warm days, and people…
Nostalgic, natural and reduced to the essential portrays photographer Jacco Meysner model Rachel Samstag in this shooting on sunny Mallorca. This mood represents consummate beauty to us. Of resonating with yourself and the world, radiating a sense of calm.
It is the harmony of simple, quiet nature that we dream about – where our heart really belongs to. Especially on those hot, humid days when cities become an unbearable spot all we can think about is escaping to a green home and tranquil beach. Photographer Carla Gnendiger detected this beautiful paradise spot in Cape Town, Newlands and seized the idea of a photo shooting there with artist Chloé Kian.
After the wonderful series “Against the Autumn Sun” we are very happy to show you the second part. Together with beautiful Nina, photographer Oliver Sutton dives again into the golden autumn sun of Cape Town. Enjoy!
“Laura and me are living close to the ocean, in Bayonne, south west of France. After a long winter and spring, the sun is finally warm and it’s time to enjoy a moment of freedom at the beach before the tourists invade us. we decided to take some photos at this little peaceful place called Guethary…”
“Life is about sailing on unknown currents.” Ray Litsala and Miho of Metropolitan Models Group finally met again after an endlessly long time and spent the whole month of May together. They have captured their love on film.
When the setting sun bathes the evening in golden light the thoughts of the day dissolve in the sorcerous ambiance. Photographer Alexander Tarazo seized the moment so as to record model Sofía Cuello on camera in Bogota, Colombia.
“There’s always tomorrow, until there’s not. This series is just about getting up and doing it – don’t let those little voices in your head stop you.” teases us photographer George Foote with his recent creative work working with lovely model Bethany Woodcock.
“The first time I saw them I immediately felt something.” tells us photographer Juana Wein about her new series starring french actress Angèle Metzger, performer Paloma Vauthier and writer Fanny Vauthier. “We were on the street, the rain was falling hard so they invited me to join them at their place. I don’t have a sister: my friends had always been sisters and that’s how I imagine sisterhood is like.”
Photography is also always an attempt to bring time to a standstill and to hew to the moment. And even more so with analogue photography. With a Mamiya645s and Kodak Portra 800 photographer Burcu and model Telma recorded aesthetic color and black and white portrait style images in Paris.
“My self-portrait work is mostly driven by the need to obtain memory about specific times and about the pain caused by the impermanence of everything, the ephemerality of life and my interaction with this world. An act of reaffirmation, perhaps of a search for identity, the internal, existential and possibly eternal identity. It then becomes a living to recognize me.”
“This session called “Marcela y el sol” reflects the purity and relation between humans and nature. It is inspired by the intimacy that a person feels with the beach at the end of the day when the sun is setting and there is no one left on the sand.” tells us Gabriela Yáñez about her wonderful C-Heads debut starring Marcela which radiates a golden, nostalgic feeling.
Oliver Sutton enchants us with another incredibly beautiful series starring Nina. “We shot at home in Cape Town, against the autumn sun, with music and good vibes.” he tells us. Like no other he has the ability to capture honest, intimate moments and instead of looking for artificial poses completely immersed in the here and now.
Sometimes the best moments in life are the ones in between the planned ones. The ones that come about when we don’t expect anything and occur only by chance. It happened just like this when photographer Ojo de Paz encountered model Paula Gorozpe.
“There are these certain places in the world that just gets to you. That just washes over you with their calm presence and incredible beauty. Where you feel like time doesn’t exist, until you sadly have to leave at some point and reality catches up with you. Lake Como is one of those places for me, probably one of the most magical spots in the world.”
