Mariana is a lovely and talented 25-year-old fashion photographer and graphic designer from Monterey, Mexico. She captures memorable moments with her keen eye for light and texture that complement her models wherever they find themselves from deep in the woods, to ocean hillsides and cozy apartments. Her works have been seen in Page the Magazine and lookbooks for Celestial, Maria Vogel and more. She’s also one half of the duo of the amazing Porcelaine Project (a photography & retouching agency) which she co-founded with Cecy Young in 2010.

LifeFinder, the instructional DVD released last year by world-reknown entertainment photographer Jeremy Cowart is the perfect blend of vision, insight, inspiration and instruction.

The Lifefinder package is actually broken down into 2 DVDs. Disk 1 features things like Jeremy’s Vision Toolkit, insight into his RAW workflow, an in-depth interview of Jeremy by photographer Zack Arias, information about locations and libraries, and projects with a purpose (like the amazing Help-Portrait project). Disk 2 is where Jeremy gives you a narrated behind the scenes look at shoots of all kinds, featuring musicians like The Civil Wars and Imogen Heap and other models, performers and actresses both on location and in the studio.

With over 4 hours of awesome content, Lifefinder at $249, is a great investment into your photography business. It’s rare to get this kind of insight from a guy with Jeremy’s talent level, but what’s really cool is how humble and willing to teach he is. It makes you want to get out and shoot more, which is really how the learning is done.

Ryan captures the the raw and beautiful essence of modern-day-vintage surf culture with nearly every click of the shutter. The colors, textures, light leaks and other happy accidents he gets with instant film and his Lomographic experimentation are so refreshing. His images look as though they were taken decades ago thanks in part to the nearly endless supply of vintage cars, hand-crafted boards and waves along the California coast he calls home. When you see Ryan’s work it makes you want to do two things: go surfing and shoot film.

The mystery and marvel of analogue photography may have been lost to the newest and mostly silent digital cameras of today. Thanks to Lv Sisi and the crew at Ftjelly we have their mesmerizing stop motion film Digital Analogue to remind us. They worked tirelessly, pairing hundreds of analogue photography sounds with over 6,000 still photos of vintage cameras to create this award-winning short. Enjoy!

The team at the Barcelona-based design studio Woouf! have come up with a pretty cool bean bag chair shaped like a vintage camera. At around $250 it’s a little pricey, but would be a cool addition to any photographers studio.

Keegan was born to a family of artists and is now four years out of film school and taking in the world, constantly traveling, surfing and hanging with friends. His imagery captures his lifestyle, those moments of action in and out of the water and the beautiful moments in between. When not shooting for campaigns with brands like RVCA, Keegan tries to surf as much as possible. Not a bad life at all.

Contact him for your next lifestyle or editorial shoot, you won’t be disappointed.

The team at Lomography had love on the brain when they decided to create a new camera and contest around the wild Russian Birth Rate-Increase incentive (which gives citizens a day off, Sept 12 to procreate and then win prizes if their patriots arrive 9-months later on Russia Day June 12.)

The camera:
The new Limited Edition Russia Day 2012 (2000 pieces) is a decked out ($389) LC-A+ camera wrapped in red Italian goat leather bears some fertility symbols as decoration. I’m not to keen on the decoration, but I do like the red leather and the original Russian Minitar 1 32/2.8 lens. The camera comes in an Soviet-styled box lined with silk. Inside, you’ll find the Russia Day emblem, a special camera strap, the Lomo LC-A+ book, and more.

The contest:
It’s so easy*. Just take a cool photo with a lomo cam of you and your honey in a romantic place and get busy, submit the photo (no nudity) by September 30, 2011 and have a baby on June 12, 2012.  If you have the first baby born on Russia Day before other entrants then you win a Russian family van. If you don’t want to make a Lomobaby to win a prize, 3 photo submissions will be in the running for a Russian Scooter, that is unless multiple people have Lomo babies. Crazy!

*Ok, so it’s not very easy to win, but it’s a unique and weird contest that oozes Lomography.
