photographicks

 A huge passion of mine is photography. Diving into this Zombie magazine concept has been a bit of a journey for me. I realised soon into it that as much as Zombies are fun, it didn’t leave room for me to really show off what I’m good at. Never mind, plenty more opportunity for that I hope. Anyway, here are some great photographers I’ve found in the last month.

Patrick Winfield

I’m a big fan of Winfield’s work. I’ve experimented with polaroids for over a year now, and this man is a genius, even down to his compositions. He really knows how to work colour and texture to create one whole piece. It’s almost like fine art by the time the finished product is ready.

I really enjoyed looking at this collection of photographs. It’s hard to say which is better, the art or the photography, but what matters is that these photos provide a great insight into graffiti and the beauty in portraying typography.

I’ve been following Lia’s work for about 4 years. I remember being about 16 and thinking how awesome she is. I still do! Her art is wide across the board, but primarily photography and, brilliantly, Polaroid photography. In fact, it’s probably Lia that inspired me to get my first Polaroid camera. Her site is beautiful, simplistic in style and has that ethereal quality of the time before sleep and waking. It’s like being in a dream.

To be green, or not to be green?

That’s the question. With the brief “surviving the 21st century” in mind, it makes you think about the “green” issue facing the planet at the moment. A brilliant eye-opener to the environmental issues of our time can be found at St Fagans near Cardiff, where their “eco house” provides a startling look at the problems today concerning waste and consumption.
