The fleshy Part of the Thigh. 25/10/11

It's nearly November and all of a sudden you can almost feel the general atmosphere of life changing. Summers nearly here, and with that people are starting to let their hair down a little and dip their toes into the pool of happiness.

I attended a going away party on the weekend and decided to take lots of photos and try out a new flash I bought last week. There were plenty of gorgeous girls around in wonderful royal colours so I thought I'd get a few snaps for the blog.

I hope you enjoy a little change in style.

Keep living the dream, your sunshine is just around the corner.

here comes the sun. 20/10.

What a week we’ve had! With the lovely weather everyone’s been out and about in the city making the most of it. It’s been odd not being able to properly set aside time this week to shoot and just soak up the sun. With exam period and final assignments taking up most of my time it’s been hard. But what’s great about university campuses is that you could be walking to a tutorial or a lecture and come across someone interesting to have a chat to on your way. This happened a lot in the last few days and i’ve spontaneously been able to ask people for their photos. Fingers crossed the weather stays like this and doesn’t shy away! I took quite a few shots so I uploaded some to Facebook too. You can view them here- http://www.facebook.com/pages/AestheticJungle/120856451320361

I saw this girl on one of the main uni walkways and she caught my eye straight away. Maybe it’s just me, but I just love non-denim high waisted shorts in the summer.

This guy and his friend were just having a relaxed walk when I asked for their photo. It’s not every day you see a guy sporting suspenders and a lovely hat around campus so it was great both of them stopped for a chat. His friend was also wearing a great blue jumpsuit which i’ve uploaded to our Facebook. When I’m shooting I love it if  people aren’t awkward about it. I don’t mind if they are but it makes it a bit more fun if they’re getting into it, giving different poses. These guys were those people, not shy at all! When I grabbed a photo of both of them they even started swing/ballroom dancing for fun. I wish I knew how to dance like that!
B.

What I’ve gradually been noticing while doing the blog is that I love ‘out there’ outfits but also simple ones. If someone has one accessory or piece of clothing that stands out it often attracts my attention. The thing that stood out to me about this girl were her shoes and sunnies, loved them. What was even better was that she was happy for me to photograph her.

B.

On my way to a tute I saw this girl by one of the most gothic parts of the university. Believe it or not, this entrance is to a car park. I honestly wish I could say it led to somewhere more epic! Even though she was in a rush, she gave me a few minutes of her time to photograph her. I must say I’ve always wanted to take a photo in this location so it was a great coincidence when I came across this girl when I did.

B.

While taking a break from class simplicity again caught my eye in the form of a lovely olive green dress and summer hat. I wanted to take this girls photo in front of a cooler background but unfortunately many university’s are concrete jungles. So brick walls had to do this week and I don’t think they look too shabby.

a beautiful day. 13/10.

Today was simply a wonderful day to get back out there and take a few snaps. The holes of life we face such as uni and full time work have deepened lately making getting out shooting much more difficult. However summer and the holidays are coming and with that we will be able to get out there do what we love much more frequently.

I could almost smell summer today, as I smoked cigarette after cigarette dreaming of a beautiful beach, with a beautiful girl and the elusive mind set of not having to do anything.

Lets hope that day is just around the corner.

I will be going to Japan for a few weeks over New Years Eve, so I look forward to capturing some traditional and authentic styles from the deep barrows of Tokyo.

Peace.

This girl caught my eye in one of those moments when the sun hits perfectly and lights people up like their God. I thought her look was very soft and gentle. Something quite natural.

This girl was working for FOX FM at the library. They were promoting something to do with Switzerland. She was very nice and the combination of a girl, Switzerland and a nice day was too much for me to let go.

Just love the Alps.

 I almost got a bit sentimental when I spotted this guy. His look is very similar to my own and only a few weeks ago I shaved my head and said goodbye to my own bun. His had that perfectly knotted samuri feel about it. If I could ever give a fashion tip, it would simply be wear clothes that fit you and work on you. You can buy a five thousand dollar coat if you want, but if it doesn't work on you, you still have shit fashion, you're five grand down and you're probably looking for the West Gate Bridge.

M.

As soon as I saw this girl I just had to ask her for her photo, I just adore high waisted pants like these. I loved the pairing of the gold clasp on the belt and her gold watch. She was absolutely lovely and we had a lovely chat by the GPO building.

B.

I spotted this girl while we were just sitting watching the world go by. Even though she was a bit shy about having her photo taken, she was nice enough to stand up so I could take a snap. She said that she hadn't been sure about wearing grey socks like she was, yet I think they're great. Goes to show it's worth experimenting now and again!

B.

For me, it must have been high waisted pants day. I saw so many people wearing them in such gorgeous ways, i'm starting to think I may have to invest in some! As i've read about, this season bright colours are 'in', i'm not often a fan of trends but in this case I saw how it can really work. For me the colourful socks are just the icing on the cake!

B.

Just when I thought i'd wrapped up my day study procrastination continued when I spotted this girl park her bike. I thought her use of red and the retro sunnies were gold. Perfect for a spring afternoon like we had today, fingers crossed this weather hangs around!

B.

belated.

Apologies for the lack of activity in recent times once again. We have just been very busy. However next week we are shooting and will bring you lots of love.

Here's some more work from Nick.

Tender Love.

A walk through the corridors at the VCA is always fruitful for the people-watcher, today was no exception. I spotted these rockin' shoes, and was a little upset when I noticed their poor condition. But then I started to think - there's no point buying a great piece of gear if it's just going to stay in the safe confines of one's wardrobe. Wear it out, show it off, and wear it out! After all, another brilliant buy will always pop up. I say good on this girl for putting on those sweet kicks everyday.

Our friend Stef at fed square. Stef always looks great, and today was no exception with kaleidoscopic colours and electrifying lighting bolts.
