Fashion Photography by Zoe Zimmer

London and Los Angeles based fashion photographer Zoe Zimmer finds herself inspired by different eras in history, 60′s, 70′s 80′s – particularly in America, and has found herself lately a little obsessed with the fashion industry in the early 90′s.

Zoe Zimmer could easily live off the tabloid attention her parents statuses have brought her over the recent years. Being the daughter of composer Hans Zimmer and former catwalk model Vicki Carolin, Zoe could have turned into one of those models/IT girls after being ‘discovered’ by singer turned photographer Bryan Adam’s in her teenage years. But instead, at the age of 20, she realised she preferred to be behind the camera instead of in front of it and wanted to be seen as someone in her own right, rather than the daughter of…

Hasisi Park’s photography is genuine, honest, insanely personal and, perhaps most importantly, 80–90% completely weird. She also has one of THE BEST biographies on the internet.

Tis the Season: The CAST Awards

Yesterday, the Online Film Critics Society announced THE SOCIAL NETWORK as Best Picture of 2010. Seeing as how I have asked to be a part of that society for essentially every year I've been online and and every year they reject me, I've decided not to bother reporting about them this year. (No offense to the members I actually know.) Instead, I bring you today a year end list from a group that is happy to have me - the CAST Awards. CAST stands for Cinema Appreciation Society of Toronto and the society consists of a good chunk of Toronto film bloggers who meet monthly to talk about what they love most, film. These good people, myself included, voted in two rounds and collectively have voted INCEPTION as the Best Picture of 2010. The full Top 25 is listed below and the participants are then listed below that. You can click on any links to go to their sites and/or follow them on Twitter. Thanks to James McNally of Toronto Screen Shots for organizing and compiling the whole affair.

Photography by Sander Meisner

Sander Meisner is a self-taught photographer living and working in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
While he searches for beauty in the melancholy and desolation of overpasses, construction- and industrial areas he creates a certain tension by photographing these places from an unexpected angle, venturing out into the city discovering colorful beauty in the desolate corners of the gray man made structures.

Registration or the level of control over light through a lens is just the method. To truly get to the value of photography, Sander tries to do more than just capture reality, he tries to alter it, transform it. He tries to control the frame in such a way it generates an angle that enables him to construct new mindsets, new insights and identities.
Sander exposes the sleeping infrastructure of the urban environment and turns these usually overlooked corners into objects of desire. The lack of light and extremely long exposure of the photographic film add a secondary effect; any interaction of human movement becomes totally invisible. His pictures have an almost soothing sense of solitude.
