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.

That’s right a Word on the Street with links!
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.

I guess Jacko and I got sent the same email.  Not sure if we’re virally marketing someone else’s pet project for them, but it is well done.
The New Enthusiasm.

So, following up my post on APE’s “Pay To Play” post…here are two striking examples of fashion editorial work that has lead directly to advertising work.  (Never mind the caliber of the photographers for a moment…)

Inez & Vinoodh “Before & After” series for V Magazine.

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 […]

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 […]

So much linkage…

It’s been a little busy around here, so again apologies for the infrequent postings! But APE and Jackanory have been more than busy with their thoughts..
APE has an interview with Photo Agent Boda of WiB Agency…
and via APE there’s a great interview with Art Buyer Jen Small on Thomas Broening’s blog (these interviews seem […]

Sorry for the inconsistent posts…I caught up on the news and here’s some linkage.
Interview is being overhauled with the resignation of Ingrid Sischy and sale Brant Publications by Sandra Brant to her ex-husband Peter Brant, who has hired Fabien Baron and Glenn O’Brien as Creative Director and Editorial Chief. Expect to see some even […]

(James Danziger, in the middle. Snappy dresser himself) 
The Sartorialist (full disclosure…a definite guilty pleasure of mine) has been popping up even more of late in the blogosphere, with his recent exhibition opening at Danziger Projects.
James Danziger writes about it on his own blog, with some pre and […]
