Lim Heng Swee aka @ilovedoodle is Malaysian illustrator and graphic designer who makes you smile with nearly every print or tee he designs. The Photographer ($30) is no different, just pure photo fun. While we have a ton of our own camera art, this print would be a fun addition to our collection.

To us, there’s nothing cooler than vintage cameras. Guangzhou Art Academy student, Hu Shaoming takes our love and turns it into art with these two beautiful zippered cameras from his Reconnecting Time series. He spent months cutting and revealing the magical working internal components and the results are clearly awesome.

As a fashion and wedding photographer, Jessica Castro splits her time between Atlanta and Florida and is soon to make the big move to L.A.

What we love about her is that she’s not afraid to pic up a variety of digital and analog cameras to make the shot. Her fashion portfolio and personal projects like polaroids grabbed us and wouldn’t let go. We spent entirely too much time laying out our favorite images below and thought of all the great magazines, lookbooks and brands that would benefit from her beautiful work.

Contact her for your next fashion, editorial, music or advertising shoot. Her ability to capture subjects in natural light as well as the studio would make her a great to asset to your next project.
