Photography by Phillip Duc

Marius Troy — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:09:01 +0000

19 year old Phillip Duc is based in Melbourne, and has been shooting for about three years now. He says he’s inspired by cinema photography and culture, and adds: “- What really gets me going is serene, peaceful, tranquil and sometimes depressing environments. If i had to name a photographer it would be Ryan McGinley, because he lives life accordingly through his photographs.”

His work hasn’t been published anywhere yet as he just lately started promoting it. I have a feeling we will see more of it in the future.

At the moment he is working on a project called ‘Kinrid Spirits’: “- ‘kindrid spirits’ depicting the relation between humans and animals and how we have been corrupted by technology.”

Here’s some of his work:

BTB post #200: THE BEST OF

Marius Troy — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:59:17 +0000

Ben Trovato Blog is now over one year of age, and ever since the launch it has been a pleasure to promote the great work of the many aspiring fashion photographers in the industry! And hopefully there’s many to come. A big thanks to all the photographers, the readers, and all the people that are promoting the blog around the web, this couldn’t have been done without any of you. For the 200th post I will focus on the best of the work featured within the 199 posts published, not necessarily personal favorites, but the work that has gotten most attention and visitors after being published. In other words: The most popular work. However, some of the work has been picked because I felt it didn’t get the attention it deserved.

The “best of” collection consists of 40 images, one image per photographer. Click on the title or image to get to the actual post where the image was featured. Enjoy the amazing work collected through 199 posts over 1 year, in chronological order:

Photography by Logan White

Marius Troy — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 10:15:42 +0000

Being inspired by everything from mystical nuances, the female psyche, and the southern gothic, to crumbling wealth, sexuality and death, Macon (GA) based Logan White creates fantastic photography that can’t be put into just one category. Her work ranges from lifestyle and fashion, to more artistic photography.

Her work has been published in publications like Vice Magazine, Nylon Magazine, and Blackpool Magazine, and she recently shot the Urban Outfitters’ Spring/Summer lookbook 2010. At the moment shooting and editing a lot of personal work for a solo show she has coming up in Macon, GA on March 24th at Mercer University.

Photography by Diego Diaz

Marius Troy — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 18:16:17 +0000

Spanish fashion photographer Diego Diaz is based in Florence, but says his biggest inspiration is his hometown, Màlaga, in Spain. “The light, the colours and the lifestyle of Málaga is something I always try to present in my photos,” he says.

His photography has been featured in C-heads Magazine and on various websites around the web, and at the moment he’s working for a brand called Shield Collection with some really exciting projects.

He’s a master of colour, and I love his warm style.

Here’s some of his work:

I just stumbled over 16 (!) year old San Diego based photographer Jacqueline Rivera’s flickr photostream. And although this isn’t fashion photography, I find her techniques and creativity highly inspirational.

Here’s some of her work:

Photography by Katja Rahlwes

Marius Troy — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 21:54:29 +0000

Katja Rahlwes has been in the fashion business for decades, and started her career as a professional fashion stylist in 1995 after having studied Fashion Design at Studio Bercot in Paris. In 1998 she became chief-fashion editor and photo-editor at BIBA, a major market fashion magazine in Paris. At the same time, she continued to expand her vision as an independent stylist with magazines like Dutch, i-D, Dazed and Confused, Made in USA, Vogue Japan, Index and others. Throughout those years at BIBA she would live a parallel life as a professional stylist and part-time photographer. She said it was, “like having a husband and a lover.” In the first years she mainly shot women she wanted to meet and spend time with. Photography had a very important impact on Rahlwes, and made her feel free and independent in her work. [Wikipedia]

Now you can see her work in magazines like French Vogue, Vogue Nippon, Vogue US, Self Service, Purple fashion, i-D, etc. And she has done work for clients such as Gucci, Miu Miu, Chloé, A.P.C., Martin Margiela, Hysteric Glamour, Levi’s, and others.

Bottom line, her photos are great, here’s a taste of her work:

Photography by Matt Irwin

Marius Troy — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 08:12:18 +0000

London based fashion photographer Matt Irwin might be is the next big thing in fashion photography. I tend to feature photographers on this blog that i personally believe has a big future in front of them, but this time it’s a fact. Matt Irwin just landed his first cover for Vogue that will be coming out in October. I first noticed Matt through his contributions to Dazed & Confused.

Here’s some of his work:

Photography by Jason Nocito

Deborah Schwartz represented Jason Nocito has a portfolio full shots of superstars and artists. What I like with his photography is the way he translates his own style in to the shoots of great personalities like Lil Wayne, Kanye West or Mary Kate Olsen.

Here’s a taste of his work:
