I’m a big fan of photography and therefore I would like to dedicate few lines to some of my favorite ones. Such as David Hamilton, Tim Walker and Wendy Bevan. What grabs my main interest is the dreamy, old, blurry & lighting effects that they bring to the images.

 

 

David Hamilton was born in London in 1933 and lives now near St.Tropez, France. While he was an art director of English magazine Queen, he bought his first camera. Later settling in Paris as art director of Printemps, he began devoting himself exclusively to photography. He photographs in a dreamy, romantic, and tranquil style, characterized by subdued natural lighting, graceful period clothing of muted pastel hues, lace and flowers.

 

 

Wendy is a Photographer based in London. She publishes her work mainly in fashion magazines. Over the past few year she has worked for I-d, POP, 10, Tank, Russian Vogue, Italian Marie Claire, Muse, The Independent. In April 2008 Wendy exhibited her work for the first time in London. The exhibition ‘Pleasures and Pain’ proved to be a great success. She is looking to put together her next solo show late this year.

 

 

Tim Walker is a photgrapher based in London. Tim’s interest in photgraphy began during work experience at Condé Nast where he set up the Cecil Beaton archive. After graduating from Exeter Art College, he worked as a freelance photographic assistant before working as Richard Avedon’s assistant in New York. His career as a photographer was launched when he came third in the Inpependent Young Photographer of the Year Award, and he went on to contribute to high-profile magazines including Vogue, W and Harper‘s Bazaar.

If you also would like to achieve a similar style of images, you can go on Lomo’s official website, where you can find several cameras such as the “Diana Mini, see bellow image” that brings you this effects, alternatively you can try on buying an expired film. Just for your information, Lomography store to launch in London September 11 2009 at 3 Newburgh Street, London, W1.
