Life is a beach

“You can read a lot about a country by looking at its beaches: across cultures, the beach is that rare public space in which all absurdities and quirky national behaviors can be found.”—Martin Parr

Lisa Gonzalez

Housewives. Photos Inspired by Ads Targeting the Consumer American Housewife of the 40s, 50s, and 60s

Housewives is New York-based photographer Lisa Gonzalez’s series that recalls society’s expectation of the post-war American housewife. Modeled after advertisements geared towards women in the 1940s, 50s and 60s, Gonzalez’s still life images explore the relationship between consumerism and domesticity of the time. The images have a slightly Stepford-wife feel to them, perfectly put together and pretty as a picture, channeling the visual culture of a time when women were led to believe they were destined for domestic labor.

Bea de Giacomo for alla Carta #2

Fresh from the pages of Alla Carta Issue 2, Bea De Giacomo playfully shot some really interesting food combinations in this still life series.  The Milan-based photographer and image consultant selected a pastel backdrop to showcase the fine delicacies, looking so delicious you’d want to eat them right off the page (or in this case your computer screen).

Charlotte Omnès

Stylist

Cut Food, a series by New York-based still life and food photographer Beth Galton, delivers an eye-pleasing, intriguing new look at what we eat. A collaboration with food stylist Charlotte Omnès, the duo worked meticulously to showcase the dynamic cross sections, each one differing in level of difficulty to achieve. Some items looked great being cut in half without any manipulation—the donuts and ice cream, for example—while others proved to require some of Omnès’ handy styling tricks—like using gelatin to solidify liquid in the soup cans.

Tea, and story telling are soul mates. That is why Petra Storrs and Rachel Snider have made an inspired ode to these Bfs. In this series we see a labor of love and playfulness that I think any tea company would be sad they didn’t think of it first.  A girl stands in a giant tea cup, dressed in blue and white body suit motif, with a metal breastplate resembling a custom tea globe, tea bag rabbit ears and a body sized tea spoon. It is absolutely charming, and makes me want the perfect cup of Royal Doulton tea.
