Life Through a Lens

4 Sep

Saturday Morning, in my PJs with a large coffee, I read an article in the Times on Saturday about Corinne Day, the photographer who’s gritty images of a slim, freckly 15 year old Kate Moss made the model famous. This lead me to a total photography binge, on a mad quest Googling my favourite fashion photographers, from Cecil Beaton and Erwin Blumenfeld to Rankin and Leibovitz, and then on to some of my contemporaries on Flickr. I am always so impressed by the huge amounts of talent and creativity that there are around the World, that come together on Flickr. Much as it guts me that some of my Flickr idols are tender 17 or 18 year olds, you couldn’t deny that there are some fantastic young photographers out there. So here is a random selection of my favourites for you to enjoy and get engrossed in.

Please go ahead and delve into some other great images

Just some of the wonderful photographers out there on Flickr
