a blog about street photography


you can't really beat old school street photography, especially in medium format
here's a blog I discovered just now that will really make you want to take hold 
of your grandmother's old "Rolley"and just go snapping pictures in the next street corner.

(there's no such thing as snapping with these old heavy cams)
every composition is carefully planned 
exposesures are mesured precisely

lovely stuff

thanks to John Maloof who manages the blog. His website  also deals with street photography.

vintage collection

yesterday we shot a vintage collection.
it was a basic set up - single light with a big umbrella. 

Styling was done by Ifat, model was Avigail
we kept it clean and simple. 
The goal was to show the clothes, the fabric and how they should be worn.

So we were able to shot as many as 20 items in a very short period of time, while maintaining the necessary quality.

I especially liked the more detailed shots of the fabric.

for more details about the collection - check out Ifat's facebook
