Ever wonder why Lindsey Lohan is in a Miu Miu ad, or how a certain celebrity landed on the cover of your favourite indie fashion magazine?
Well, there’s a very good chance Starworks was involved (their blog here).
The latest issue of W Magazine has a great profile on this company.

The work of Jill Freedman, reminiscent of the work of Weegee…capturing the grit of 70’s New York.

I’ve managed to catch up to most of my reading and here are some that you just might have missed in the last few weeks…
There’s no rhyme or reason to these, especially regarding timing, but enjoy.

Ok, so I am still not re-ordering the list for 2008, and I understand that lists are lists, but looking at the list again from 2005 (3 posts below) I really wanted to point out a few striking things.

So APE wrote a brilliant post on “Pay to Play”, that all those cutting edge, high profile fashion magazines out there surely can’t be that broke, and can surely dole out bigger budgets for their shoots.  And he also gave his take on photography contests and sourcebooks. 
(By the way, I love when APE writes posts […]

Was googling a few names and this article from American Photo popped up…which I remember reading back in 2005.  It’s interesting to see now, 3 years later. 
By no means am I going to try and update the list (because I don’t have, oh, 8 spare hours) but I am a little perplexed (as I was before) by the […]

or not found?
No Found, from across the pond.

Sorry for the lack of posting…it seems like others haven’t been on top either, or have completely gone away. According to Jackanory,  joining the ranks of Alec Soth and the Bitter Photographer (minus an appearance on Jackanory), are Christian Patterson and the peerless Olivier Laude.  You shall be missed!
And people are even blogging about the […]

Another great post over at APE on how turning down certain jobs can indeed benefit a photographer’s career.
As agents, we have to help point photographers in certain directions and assist them (or outright tell them) in deciding what jobs to accept or turn down, both for creative and money purposes.  (And 99% of the time we […]

A huge fan of his blog, Shane Lavalette, be interested to see how this project turns out.
