Melania Brescia



















 Melania Brescia

 "A Breath of fresh air with her highly intimate work full of life and emotion."

From Malaga, Spain this 20 year old creates such outstanding pieces of work.

When researching into her work she has lots of magazine work been and coming her way.




   
 
 after researching as much as i could I couldnt find much information on this  Young Photographer which frustrated me! Her work is so unique and inspiring hopefully more of her work will be discovered.

                                                                                   




Vivian Maier

 
 Vivian Maier

 (Feb 1st 1926 - April 21st 2009)
 "A free spirit but also a proud soul"

Simply a Nanny in New York Vivian Maier's photographic work was discovered in 2007 when a box of negatives were auctioned off, negative images taken by Vivian throughout her lifetime, images of herself, the children she looked after and stunning images of the city she lived in.
Secretly stashing these images throughout her life these images all show you how she saw things, when researching there was an image with the caption "Just because it's there" which shows the understanding of her photos, they are what she saw, just because it was there, its almost like you can see the process, like she would see an image and have to snap it. Her work all black and white shows old school NYC how you would imagine it to be. When Vivian Maier passed she left a body of work leaving over 100,000 negative images. "Someone who was intensely guarded and private" This wonder to photography now has exhibitions, events a book and even a film behind her.
I myself love her photographs, so individual, creative and special. I love the way she wasnt even doing it as her job, as she was a nanny it was just her hobby, In my opinion her story and her images are simply amazing.
