2015!

haven't posted in a while. spent xmas + new yrs in italy which was a really nice vacay. i have a lot to say, a lot of thoughts, a lot of things i want to talk about but need to find the right way to formulate these words. i also have 2 rolls of film to develop and will post some when i have enough $ for developing. currently taking my mocks, got my last two tomorrow (both maths ugh). in the meantime i still regularly post on instagram @zszophia and somehow wormed my way into posting all orange themed pictures due to a sudden wave of orange inspiration every where (see side bar of blog). idk how long this is gonna last. i have pics i wanna post but don't want to break the theme arghhh!! anyway happy new year, hope jan will be a gd month for y'all :-) XXXX 

here are some pictures i'm feeling right now. (snowy winter days then pinkish feels then more vibrant colors/nature basically)

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!)
