Hey babes!
So, lately I've been in a ~photography~ kind of mood-- and I've feeling inspired by Ryan Hancock and this Tavi post. When I was writing down stuff that describes this inspiration/feeling/look that's been goin' on, I put down "candid scary youth vibes", which pretty much explains it all. There's that very candid photographic look I was going for, like the weirdness of everyday life mixed with the kind of scary, decaying, angsty youth that permeates movies and teenage emotions alike, mixed with a bit of Virgin Suicides-esque '70s wood panel nostalgic drama and bright pops of color.
One of the best examples of this kind of feeling is the David Lynch-y, Twin Peaks vibes I was talking about in my last post. Everything looks wholesome and wonderful at first glance, but you can feel something is not right. Underneath this pretty surface is a seedy, decaying underworld. I've been trying to capture this in the pictures I've been taking, and here are the results!

My all-time photography inspiration is that Marc Jacobs ad campaign that was in magazines a few seasons back... the girls were dressed up all pretty but they were bent over with their hair covering their faces and the pictures had grey tones to them. Haunting but gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAh! I'm not normally into designer stuff but I'll definitely check out the shoot! I LOVE the haunting but gorg vibes!

ReplyDeleteIt seems that everyone gets those Virgin Suicides and suburban vibes at early summer, there's something bittersweet about it (even more than the end? what.).
