Alex Prager

 

 

I came across the work of Alex Prager today and immediately fell in love. her photos are so beautiful and have a very cinematic atmosphere about them. i like that the subjects are staged and each photo suggests a narrative. they remind me of 1960s/70s america because of the fashion and styling of the women mainly. the colours are so bright and refreshing and remind me of William Eggleston's work who I admire too. Prager also made a collection of short films titled Touch of Evil featuring different actors. my favourite film was the one with Mia Wasikowska (you can find them all here).

been discovering lots of new artists and photographers and it's really inspiring me to make art. i'm going to put all my recent favourite photos/art/tumblr pics/film stills into one big blog post later. back to school tomorrow ughhhh need 2 go read (that means start AND FINISH) Pride & Prejudice and Persuasion before then. i feel like i've completely wasted half term... counting down to xmas holidays now (39 days!)

just a little mood/inspiration post. last photo is by ana kras. i love everything about her. also how cute does sky n chloe look in the other pics?? don't know any of the sources sorry

i saw palo alto last night and it was incredible. been listening to the soundtrack nonstop. at first i thought the shitload of smoking was a bit excessive but then i realised its actually an accurate depiction of teens tbh. it was a really beautiful movie though. i want to see it again and again and again. compiling a long reading list right now, will post it when its finished. also have a draft post about intersectional feminism but can't seem to find the right words. was really inspired after going to a panel about WOC in feminism and been learning more about 3rd wave/intersectional feminism since.  also i can ride a bike now !!!!
