<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jonathan: Hello Jvdas, thanks for taking some time to talk about your latest project. If you can just talk a little about the shoot, the location, talent and anything you found exciting or fun, that would be wonderful.</span></b></div>

<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Jvdas: </b>It was a project between friends. We were in a somewhat dangerous part of the beach as the waves beat hard and were surrounded by poisonous sea urchins, but in the end it was a very fun experience and fruitful. The model, Nohemi Hermosillo was a professional and posed as a whole goddess. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Art Direction and Styling were given by Alonso Rivero. It was a </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">pleasure working </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">with him and his magical vision that goes beyond the conventional.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Jvdas: </b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The first shot. Since I saw it I knew that would be the magic picture. The position of the model, the angle and the </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">ways </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">that the dress was drawing on the water were what captivated me from the moment I frame. It seems that is a painting in oil </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">coming to life and escaping the box. I was very inspired by The Birth Of Venus by Sandro Botticelli.</span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How my iBook came to be</b></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Besides being passionate about the fashion industry and interest in the truly talented people who create that world, a lifelong love and dream of mine has always been in making children's books. As with the film, animation and gaming industries, these two round out the top fields where an artist can make his or her mark and unleash their imagination and creativity to their fullest. At least, in my mind they do. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When William was first created, self publishing was a completely different world. A little dubious to me and not an easy road to take. Thankfully, it
seems the landscape of publishing had changed a great deal in the time since. A
new, level playing field has emerged (well… kind of). Amazon with their
Kindles, the Android from Google and Apple with their iPads opened a new market
for books. Extraordinary… </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>NOTE: Since publishing my iBook, I received a Kindle HD and a Nexus 7 for Christmas. Thank you, Santa! Can't wait to start developing books that work with those as well.</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyhow, let's get started.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fcwQysSP1nQ/Ur87elN7XnI/AAAAAAAACk4/iJgcp6oqD-Q/s1600/00-William.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fcwQysSP1nQ/Ur87elN7XnI/AAAAAAAACk4/iJgcp6oqD-Q/s1600/00-William.png" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ANOTHER NOTE: You will have to forgive me if I
gloss over bits or miss a step or two, I have never been a techie. I am lucky
if I can put a table from IKEA together. I will do my best though and hopefully
provide some useful insight that helps you on your way.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Challenge
#1: Where to start?</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Okay,
so there I was with a complete book, story, illustrations and music. What now?
Where do I start? What platform to choose? A background in graphic design made
me most comfortable with Apple. With over 55 million iPad users as possible
readers, I figured that wouldn’t be a bad choice to start with. Kindle
Publishing was tempting but with a steeper learning curve, again, I thought Apple
best to start.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>YUP, ANOTHER NOTE: Speaking of Kindles, that will be my next adventure in publishing but I will save that for another post, hopefully in the near future.</i> </span><br />

#2: How the heck do I start?</b></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I spent a good portion of time researching this question as I was rather clueless myself at this point. I bought a few iBooks I read good reviews about first. I wanted to see what others had done and after looking around, I felt pretty good I could produce something of equal quality. Some of the most amazing books were actually Apps created by third party companies with proprietary software. The Pedlar Lady of Gushing Cross by <a href="http://moving-tales.com/" target="_blank">Moving Tales, Inc</a>. just blew me away. I highly recommend it. In the end for me, I choose iBooks Author with its simplicity of use. Creating Apps and the like will have to wait. Crawl before you walk and walk before you run. Here's a short list of what you need to do just that:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>An Apple ID
and iTunes Account.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibooks-author/id490152466?mt=12&ign-mpt=uo%3D4">Download
iBooks Author</a> (free) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>In the USA,
you need to purchase an ISBN number for your book for $150.00. Other countries
vary so you must check that out if you are somewhere else. A lot of countries
offer free ones. (lucky). <a href="http://bowker.com/">Click here</a> to see where
I purchased mine. Apparently, there’s a monopoly.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>A story you
need to tell and some illustrations. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">5. Now, onto the tricky part, maybe not for you, but like
my hero, Winnie the Pooh, technology reduces me to a bear of very little brain. And please don't
forget the most critical thing remember… bring lots of Hunny… (just kidding)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Challenge
#3: The Tricky Part</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Being
used to working in Adobe’s InDesign, I found iBooks Author very simple
actually. It was tricky because it was just unfamiliar and I kept looking to do
things it couldn’t do. Like getting rid of the Table of Contents. Picture books don’t
really need them. At this stage, I think you must spend some time getting familiar with the tools available. The Widgets are great for adding galleries, sound, etc. Once you know your way around a bit, spend some time thinking of how these tools might enhance your book. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here
are some key things to remember:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Standard
picture books in Print are 32 pages. If you are planning on a version
for traditional publishing make sure you keep that in mind. Additional pages
must be in multiples of 8. In the case of my book, I added a few more. One page you must account for is the Copyright page. Can't have a book without it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>When creating
art for iBooks, around 163 dpi works best for resolution on your iPad. Print is
300 dpi so create you original work at that resolution and “dumb” it down to 163
dpi.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>JPG format is
the way to go, PNG works okay too but I discovered something. You can use a PSD
file instead if you need a graphic with a transparent background, works much
better than a PNG. (i.e. round buttons to overlay on top of an illustration.) </span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Fonts are an important aspect of your iBook as well. The good news is, it allows for the embedding of custom fonts. Rather than rehash this, here's the <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5072" target="_blank">link</a> from Apple itself. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">5.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Music and
sound must be in Apple’s ACC format, not MP3s. </span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Challenge
#4: What I actually had to do to make my iBook. </b></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Whenever
faced with something new, despite my ambitions running amok, I apply the KISS philosophy
(Keep It Simple, Stupid). There would be no cool page turning effects like I saw in other
people’s books, no animated characters walking across the page, text dancing across the page, no fancy nothing. I kept telling myself next time, next book. The reality though I found was that most "iBooks" that contained these incredible features weren't iBooks at all but actually Apps from the Apple Appstore. (Selling these require an altogether separate account with iTunes)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My
format was as such:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Create a Book
Cover – still not completely happy with the cover I created, while this decision is definitely a very important one, I could have went on forever deciding.</span><br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YaClUhE0R_8/Ur9E6EEhCbI/AAAAAAAAClk/4wGM6gUHmAQ/s1600/05-Cover-Ideas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YaClUhE0R_8/Ur9E6EEhCbI/AAAAAAAAClk/4wGM6gUHmAQ/s1600/05-Cover-Ideas.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Title Page
with copyright and ISBN number (a very necessary evil)</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>I choose a
vertical- only (portrait) format. I developed my book on an iPad Mini. This
seemed best for me. My illustrations fit better and allowed text to be far more
readable. (larger)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>For that dreaded
TOC (Table of Contents) I used the cover of my book as the background image and
was lucky cos it worked without alteration.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">5.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>I made all my
illustrations 768 wide x 1024 tall at 150 dpi. I spent a good deal of time
tweaking the illustrations. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">6.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>I converted
the music and sounds in Adobe Audition to Apple’s ACC format. I must give my sincerest thanks to <a href="http://www.susanpoliniak.com/" target="_blank"><b>Susan Poliniak</b> </a>for her amazing contributions to this book. Her music and sound effects were wonderful. I think you will agree. She is awesome!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">7.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>I went through
two major rounds of edits on the story itself. Magic is in the editing I think.
Hope one day to be proficient.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">8.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>I alternated
pages. Text, picture, text, picture, etc.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">9.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>I closed with
a short bio and a quick preview of my next book I am working on.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">11.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span> During the whole process you can
preview your book by hitting the <b>Preview Button</b>. I was a total dork about this.
I just got such a kick seeing something I was making on the iPad screen.
The idea that it would be sold on iTunes (now the iBookstore) is super exciting. </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">(Make sure your iPad is plugged into your computer when you do this.)</span><br />

had a decision to make. Two prefab button/player option. Fairly standard,
looked nice and clean, professional. Went with creating my own buttons using a PSD file. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">13. You will need
to create some additional assets for your book before you can publish:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">• High
resolution cover art. Mine was 1400 pixels by 1867 at 300 dpi resolution.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">• 3 to 5 sample
pages from your book using illustrations from your book. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">• A partial book
preview file </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">(iBook file).</span> Allocate a portion of your book to potential readers to
download free to entice them to buy. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">• Write a book
summary to add your books page once live on the iBookstore. Make sure it
includes keywords that help in searches on the web and within the iBookstore
itself. No tags, just within your copy itself.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">• <span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>For a paid account,
you will need a bank account to link to, your social security or tax ID number
for W9 purposes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">• <span style="font-size: 7pt;"></span>Your .iba file
(iBook file)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">14.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span> Review, review,review, proof,
proof, an proof again. That’s it. All done. Well not quite, one more
proofreading. WOOHOO! Done, what fun! Now what?</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once
you feel your book is ready for publication. You have tested it on your iPad,
proofread it completely and make sure everything works and looks fine. You are then ready to
launch, and feeling pretty excited, I know I was. Ready? Let's go publish!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>It is fairly straight forward after that. You must choose between a paid or free book account. Are you
giving you book away and setting a price for sale? In</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
this process you will be asked to set a price. Some opt for the free account to
give their work away. This might be great for creating free content for a blog
or promotional material for a product or service. There is a philosophy this is
good for unknown authors to get their work out and start creating a name for
themselves that way. The latter may suit some but it wasn’t for me. After
checking out what other have out on the market along with the price points, I
decided to keep a lower price point, I choose $1.99 US. Keep in mind, Apple
takes a 30% commission. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Once you have

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">8. You eventually will be able to track your sales through your new iTunes Connect account.
There will be a “red light” under your new title there. Once it turns green, you book will be live and for sale. It took three weeks
for mine to go live. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>The
Final Challenge: T</b><b>he trickiest part of all, </b>actually selling your new iBook</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here
are the steps I’ve taken so far: </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>I promoted it
on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jonathanmwilson" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/RenataandJon" target="_blank">Twitter account</a> first. It is not that simple though.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. Apple has a wonderful widget maker for you to create code for adding ads to blogs and web sites. The top right of my blog page here has one such ad. To create your own, here's the <a href="http://widgets.itunes.apple.com/builder/" target="_blank">link. </a></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Next I created
a new Twitter account just for my children’s iBook and illustrations. Further adventures in illustration and publishing can be followed there. <a href="https://twitter.com/wubbaweb" target="_blank">@Wubbaweb</a> </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Created a
similar new Facebook page, also <a href="https://www.facebook.com/wubbaweb?ref=hl" target="_blank">Wubbaweb</a></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DWCJarrrTfg/Ur9HOeGHEGI/AAAAAAAACl4/Eam_DdrO2Tg/s1600/07-Facebook.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DWCJarrrTfg/Ur9HOeGHEGI/AAAAAAAACl4/Eam_DdrO2Tg/s1600/07-Facebook.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">5.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>I have a web
site in development for a new Wubbaweb.com. Not ready yet but cannot wait to
announce its launch. If anybody knows about Wordpress themes and how to customize them I would love your advice. That is the hold up. I am doing it on my own. All I can say on this front so far is "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 6.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>I joined
Goodreads.com and created an <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7410457.Jonathan_M_Wilson" target="_blank">Author’s Account</a> and launched a PPC (Pay Per
Click) ad campaign netting me daily views totaling about 700 views so far.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 7.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>After further
research, they say reviews can help quite a lot. I would love nothing more than
having a host of heavenly mommy bloggers descend to give me rave reviews until
Oprah hears about it and then sales go through the roof. This requires time, a
sincere approach and building such relationships.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When
all said and done, I think of the process as an adventure. So much still to do but I think success
requires a great deal of patience, thought and planning. Luck never hurts, but…most
important…love. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you
have any questions, observations or advice I would thrilled to hear from
you. If you are interested in reviewing the book for your own blog, magazine or newspaper, please
contact me and I will send a promo code to you for a free copy. I am limited to
50 of them though. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I hope this post helps a little to those embarking down a similar path. I wish you much success!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thanks
for reading and hope your day is a magical one! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Most happy again to bring you the latest from Ted Baker. What I love about Ted Baker's new fall collection most is... it's presentation, capturing the nostalgia, glamour and romance of the past, creating a story that blends perfectly with the line's wonderful aesthetic. Hope you enjoy it as much as I had presenting it.</span></span><br />

Kanarek</b></span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: normal;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: normal;">Born in Toronto,
Canada, where he grew up, Benjamin Kanarek fell in to many things by accident.
Photography, Web Concept development and Creative Direction are just a few
examples.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: normal;">
</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: normal;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: normal;">He played drums in a
few punk rock groups, one of which was the “Existers” with the single “Telex
Love”. Another, “the Poles” with Canadian Fine Artist Michaele Jordana. In the
subsequent time frame, he entered Carleton University in Ottawa, where he
studied Architecture and went on to work in several companies including WZMH
Architects who were best known for designing the CN Tower in Toronto and Ron
Thom who studied under Frank Lloyd Wright.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: normal;">After a serious
accident where he fell from a five meter mezzanine, he literally fell in to
photography. Benjamin was never an assistant to another photographer, his
second ever shoot was an advertising campaign in Toronto. He moved to Los
Angeles and stayed there for just over a year and moved to New York. In New
York, he shot quite a few campaigns for Macy’s, The May Company, Saks Fifth
Avenue, as well as the Dayton Hudson Christmas book with Andie MacDowell, Elle
MacPherson, Bitten Knudsen, Brooke Shields. He also shot several covers for
VOGUE South America and VOGUE Mexico. He was the first Canadian photographer to
ever shoot Kim Alexis for the cover of Chatelaine magazine.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Absyth Photographic’s vision is certainly unique... The creative duo of Michael Labica and Sandrine Dulermo work hard to capture the magic a camera can summon under the brightness of light, or hidden deep in shadow. For over a decade, they have been experimenting to reach a certain perspective, to show a deep appreciation and concern for what is and what could be… beautiful. Even more so, they strive to make each feeling palpable... tangible. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The artists they work with must place their trust in them, for the duo fancy an ever-changing approach, setting out to capture the not-so-natural expressions… the unusual, all the while avoiding the mundane. Challenging talent with unusual styling, poses and designing sets often askew and off kilter. One must enter a world of momentary fantasy. Take risks… and play a game. Michael and Sandrine encourage the artists to challenge the norm and themselves… to reach for something more. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Practicing photography like craftsmen, treating the studio more like a laboratory, they challenge perspective, experiment and continuously seek new techniques to enhance their creative vision.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">About Michael and Sandrine</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">By age 13, Sandrine was already smitten with photography. Preferring to skip school so she could run off to shoot her little brothers with her Zenith in the woods. By 18, she had her first campaign for a perfume company, which in turn, then led to her very first exhibition. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Michael, a former student from Louis Lumière, Paris, was first enticed by cinema but instead found him self learning the ropes as a creative working in the advertising world. Despite the fact he was never a model student, he learned his lessons quite well and soon developed and expanded an extensive list of corporate clients, but even in success, there was something missing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then Michael met Sandrine… a moment when everything seemed to fall into place and together they found expression through a lens, as a team their creativity sparked to new heights. London became their cradle of creativity and home. Their work and family life all take place in the heart of their beloved photo “laboratory,” Coconut Studios, which is located in West London. </span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Jonathan: A hypothetical... Harper's calls... has an exclusive preview of McQueen's 2014 Fall Collection, Sarah Burton wants... say Codie Young for the spread, the rest is up to you and Sandrine. What happens next? Could you tell us a little of the process going into a project from start to finish?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Michael: </b>We will have a happy moment to start as we love Alexander McQueen. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I would imagine the idea would come quickly. We would start by creating the main character of the story and place it within the scene (i.e. where she would come from, how does she looks like, etc.). Inspiration comes from many sources (art, locations, movie, music, dreams, etc.). We would then draw a storyboard and source the suitable location. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If we decide to do a set build, we would design/make the entire scenery by working closely with our much-loved scenic painter/set builder, Jude Singleton. As we have our own studio, we have also the capacity to create, do the work on a specific set until we are completely happy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On the day of the shoot, Sandrine would be behind the camera and I would be myself sorting out all the lights and ensure the set up is as originally envisioned. Our photo shoots always tend to be very hectic and ambitious, so it's normally a long day for us. After the shoot, we usually take a little bit of time before previewing at the images, we then do an editing and select our favourite images and then do our own post-production during our spare time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Jonathan: The colour sense of your work is wonderful... playful and vibrant, what are your thoughts on colour and the importance it plays?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Michael: </b>We both very much love black and white images so unconsciously, our use of colours is always full on. A very colourful image makes an amazing black and white. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In our minds, the extended use of colours bring our images somewhere between surrealism, exoticism and poetry. Surely not what you see in our everyday lives, the main idea is to create harmony, we mostly do a coloured fill light to create an artificial atmosphere.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Jonathan: As a professional can you tell us what was your big "AHA!!!" or possibly "Eureka!!" moment? The point where, maybe you weren't there yet but just knew you were on your way.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Michael:</b> Our "big AHA" moment is probably when Sandrine and I originally met in a south-of-France photo lab. We both were on our way for a good life doing something we both loved doing… We can't however really say we've had our "Eureka" yet. We are still searching…</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Michael: </b>We own a Hasselblad H2, 80mm lens with and phase one digital back. Very basic, we like it for its simplicity and technically, there is no limitation, like on a SLR with shutter speed. Saying that, we are now very interested by the new Canon/Nikon as they are very flexible with the ISO. </span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Jonathan: If you had a pick a favourite shoot so far, which would it have been? Why?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Michael: </b>The one shoot I loved the most - not only for the images we created but also for the fun we had on the day was, in fact, a test shoot we did with actress Anna Friel. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We met Anna via our favourite make-up artist, Karen Alder. It was a summer evening at Anna’s house in Windsor. We started by a bottle of wine and end up drinking all night, David Thewlis singing Johnny Cash songs in his guitar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">From this moment, we end up shooting a "Gothic" themed story. Few months after, we found ourselves in the middle of the winter with freezing temperatures, shooting Anna in various locations from Oxfordshire to Windsor without any budget. Anna is a talented actress and we loved this experience. The images of this shoot, taken 7 years ago, never were published yet.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Jonathan:</span> Okay, I am pretending to be a young photographer with more talent than sense (business sense for sure), what advice could you give me, something you wish someone had told you when you were starting out?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Michael: </b></span>I would probably recommend becoming an assistant to the best photographer around you, it is the best way in. It might take a few years for you to fly on your own but you will be able to connect with so many people; from stylists to make-up artists, from models to publishing people, etc. Doing so, you may even end up testing with top assistant stylists. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">After interviewing some really incredible
designers, stylists, and photographers, I couldn’t wait to finally interview a
model. Never imagined it would be Magdalena Frackowiak, one of the best in the
world. Magdalena’s career reads like a Fashion Who’s Who list that could go on
forever. From the runways of Paris, Milan, New York and London to gracing the
lenses of the world’s best fashion photographers, her work is simply amazing.
According to her friend, model Edita Vilkeviciute, “She’s the perfect girl.” </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Born in Poland, Magdalena got her start when he
mother sent her photos to model competition in Warsaw. No big deal, right? Then,
the news came… she’d won!!! At 16 years old, she was quickly signed by the
agency and appeared on her first magazine cover and her life would never be the
same.</span>

is the queen of reinvention and in my pre-teens and teens (i.e.. the 80s and
90s) she could do no wrong! The movie My Fair Lady was a great fashion
inspiration for me as a little girl - for a couple of years I drew bows on
everything I designed. In my early twenties it was the fantastical work of
David La Chapelle and post impressionist artists. My parents always encouraged
me to travel and enjoy foreign cultures and traditions. I find switching
countries and era's very inspiring both in life and my work. </span></div>

a big Romeo and Juliet extravaganza with Annie Leibovitz. Grace Coddington was
styling Coco Rocha as Juliet and I was styling the male characters for the
shoot plus Juliet's nurse. I sourced vintage pieces from costume houses in the
UK and packed them all up in to 10 trunks and flew solo to NY for fittings a
run though and the shoot. It was a very busy few days, and an inspiration to be
on set with amazing talents such as Grace and Annie. I don't think I exhaled
until I was on the plane back to the UK. </span></div>

to follow your passions outside of the fashion industry even if fashion is your
first and foremost - be it art/theatre/fencing/etc -
whatever you love, it will also bring inspiration to your work.
Surround yourself with others who inspire you and that you will learn from.
Dare to take a few risks, they will expand your experience and it is unlikely
you will regret whatever they may be. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This image started from a stock image (below) from last month's issue of Advanced Photoshop. I thought it was kinda cool and thought it would make a great base for experimenting in Photoshop CS6.</span><br />

After, I tweaked it with "Refine Edge" and a small round brush (on the mask layer).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>STEP 2:</b> Another stock image (same source) of a stormy sky was placed in another layer beneath the model.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>STEP 3:</b> A really great resource for finding brushes and other resources for Photoshop is a site called <a href="http://www.brusheezy.com/" target="_blank">Brusheezy</a>. Using some brushes I found there, I created another layer between my model and sky and laid in some brushwork in white drooping the opacity to 80%.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>STEP 4:</b> Creating another layer above the model, I added a few more brush strokes, leaving these at 100% opacity.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>STEP 5:</b> I duplicated the sky layer and moved it to the top at this point.

I can play at the same time with the collage, the graphics, the<br />typography and the diverse associations of ideas. Furthermore, I can work from my<br />home without having to move. I also like to work on my own projects. Work on the<br />study of a topic, to make research, to raise sources of inspiration and to make<br />photos in studio with a team if I need. The photography is essentially the base of my<br />illustration's works."</span></span></div>

I started doing
digital collages a mix of photos, textures and typography, as Dave McKean
and Vaughan Oliver, two fabulous graphic designers, which I appreciated their
work through album covers.<br />
I took great pleasure in making these digital collages, and step by step it
took more time in my life. I began to have more order of illustrations for
magazines and publishing house. Then I made exhibitions and fashion
photography. This is the day I got my first agent, I realized that I wanted to
an illustrator.</span></span><br />

that I saw an interest in art. When I was 20, I had a girlfriend who was at the
School of Fine Art in Bordeaux (France). She knew me awake at art. I visit art
galleries, museums, I was blown away by the Louvre, and step by step to modern
art and contemporary art. I think, I could say there was ten year I am
interested in art before starting to make myself illustrations. I am self
taught, I can not really say I had a mentor, or my best friend who is an
incredible art director and know guide me, pushing, shoving me in my work!</span></span><br />

I put these collages on a blog which luckily was visited by one of the artistic
directors of Le Monde. She loved what I was doing and I was asked to do a
portrait of a scientist in the style of my collages. It was therefore my first
illustration for a magazine.</span></span><br />

It made me to realize the quality of my work. Told me many believed in me, saying that I had a lot
of talent. It changed me a lot, because before I had a very amateurish approach to
my work. With him, I became a professional. The presentation of my book, my
website, my "image" somehow transformed into a professional. To have omeone who
believes in your work, your potential, it changes a lot of things. But do not believe that an agent will do everything for you. You must work and
work continually.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
My experience with a second agent in France was catastrophic. But it made me realize that I
needed to continue my own efforts on the side business and also meet potential clients,
art buyers, artistic directors. Continue to do my own marketing... An agent
does not do everything for you but for him, so one must continue to rely on oneself as well.</span></span></div>

Now, I have an agent for Germany (Caroline Seidler), and everything is perfect.
She is doing a very good job and good with her clients and promoting their
artists. And I do the same in France, for me!</span></span><br />

At least for me, it
is not possible. I always want novelty, discovery, learning new things for me.
Imagine an illustration and design it, it will take you on a lot of new paths. I constantly question myself for progress' sake, to shake myself up, otherwise... it becomes a
form of repetition and routine. This is not something I like. But maybe one
day, weariness will set in, and I might fall into a kind of routine. Let's hope not.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Very proud to present a selection of my favorites from Ted Baker's S/S 2013 collection and a chance to win 3 pairs of Ted Baker shoes (please see details below). Ted had his beginnings in Glasgow, Scotland. Word of mouth quickly spread as did his reputation of quality served with a quirky sense of humor. This season's collection is a perfect blend of 1950s elegance with a fresh modern twist. I love it. Hope you do, too!</span><br />

I don't know.... It just happens... I'll sleep.. wake up... remember a

love sleep... If I'm too tired, the magic's not there. Sometimes I'll make dresses in my sleep. Literally... dream first, so I
know what I'm going to do in my head beforehand, then I don't waste any

For months, I've been daydreaming about doing some retouch work in Fashion. I do it all the time in other work. Remove a double chin, whiten those teeth, take that tree out of the background kind of <br />
stuff . Then I met California fashion photographer <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tyra.hansen.3" target="_blank">Tyra Hansen</a> on Facebook. She was wondering if I would like to do some retouching for her. (Thank you, Tyra) The shots are of the lovely <a href="https://www.facebook.com/iiitsD" target="_blank">Dee Sproles </a>(model) and here are the results.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fzBjxWeevNU/T-0OOLvXRyI/AAAAAAAABG0/O2j63BVCbCU/s1600/1-00.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fzBjxWeevNU/T-0OOLvXRyI/AAAAAAAABG0/O2j63BVCbCU/s1600/1-00.jpg" /></a></div>
1. Original raw file shot Dee by Tyra (above) and was graciously given a free hand to be as creative as I liked. My goal was to create something slightly ethereal or ghostly. I also wanted to experiment with a new techniques I read in Advanced Photoshop Magazine (awesome magazine)... a quick Bokeh effect.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zAHPLoNNlxY/T-0OQMMc88I/AAAAAAAABG8/fFU7_kqzSW8/s1600/1-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zAHPLoNNlxY/T-0OQMMc88I/AAAAAAAABG8/fFU7_kqzSW8/s1600/1-01.jpg" /></a></div>
2. I work in Photoshop CS5 with just a mouse... I should use a tablet but I don't like them that much.<br />
I invested in the plug-in Color EFEX Pro from Nik Software a few months ago and was blown away. Note: I put an (EFEX) notation when I use one in this tute. Here, I just went around the image, cleaning up loose hair, any blemishes, etc.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RJN5Ljni3WI/T-0OSkEGHJI/AAAAAAAABHI/ixa-aaC67Nk/s1600/1-03-LIp-HL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RJN5Ljni3WI/T-0OSkEGHJI/AAAAAAAABHI/ixa-aaC67Nk/s1600/1-03-LIp-HL.jpg" /></a></div>
3. Here, I used a Glamour Glow (EFEX) on a new layer and adjusted the opacity until I liked the result. Also did a little highlighting (like the bottom lip) on areas with the Dodge and Burn tool.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1nVELERKzbc/T-0OVLwdN1I/AAAAAAAABHc/uzoDM6ZUPHk/s1600/1-05-film-s-curve-color-balance.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1nVELERKzbc/T-0OVLwdN1I/AAAAAAAABHc/uzoDM6ZUPHk/s1600/1-05-film-s-curve-color-balance.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
4. Then I wanted to get a cross processed effect which attained by creating a subtle S-CURVE in CURVES. After which I went in the COLOR BALANCE and played around with the green. cyan and yellow until saw what I was after.<br />
<div>
<br />

5. Always been curious about Bokeh and found a great tutorial in Advanced Photoshop magazine. The effect was created rather quickly with a custom brush. <b><a href="http://blog.advancedphotoshop.co.uk/tutorials/how-to-mimic-a-bokeh-effect/" target="_blank">Click here</a></b> to check that tutorial out.<br />
<br />

</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The final image. I used a simple white gradient to soften the whole image and leave room for any future typography. Below are some additional images I did for Tyra. </div>

<br />
Just went with a highly saturated cross processed look with this one and threw a little Bokeh effect in for fun.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When I was as a child, I was surrounded
by an atmosphere of art and politics, it was an odd mix but my father was both
a painter and a politician. I use to re-shape his paintings, not by painting
over his canvases but by creating forms using pieces of old fabrics and broken
clocks. A combination of pain, the feeling of suffocation and mind set due to
our family background, experiences of war, our escape and loss of many family
members. Despite our family background, I found myself free to take myself to
the fashion world and the creativity I found there. My first step was to buy
vintage clothes, repurposing pants into skirts and sewing my accessories on
dresses and skirts. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I also found an outlet for expressing
myself by writing philosophical poetry when I was very young, creating garments
and other odd forms for each poem which was mostly about the human condition
and its "darker" side.
The shadowy territory of the mind, where I think not too
many dare to step in to, but I do… out of simple curiosity. These elements are
infused in my work even today...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />In 2008, I left Sweden to study fashion and styling in Milan, Italy.
I was very busy adapting to a new life, city and fashion culture. Taking the
necessary progressive steps in Milan, I grew to an even more creative and
business oriented creature. Having teamed up with various professionals,
creating new concepts and working on imaginative projects, I have reached many
of the results, creatively and professional I had set out to achieve. Since then I’ve worked
my way up into becoming an established fashion stylist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 115%;">I have always been interested in the dark
aspects of the world, about the feelings people are afraid to talk about or even
think about, these thoughts are surrounded by “evil spirits,” our personal
demons, the difference is that I work closely with these thoughts in creating
and it seems to permeate my work.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My goal is to create trends, styling using
a complete set of aesthetic structures, textures and shapes. Combining graphic elements -
using location to connect the perfect feeling for each image. We are in a
futuristic era where nothing is right or wrong and I am trying to take
advantage of that and this is what really interests me - knowing more about
life and its inner treasures. The best way for me to do that is my passion for
styling and the thoughts behind what I trend out. My personal expression has taken
shape in these trends, styles. They continue with my love of the written word.</span></div>

Hard work is needed in order to become better and stronger. I believe that the person that wants something very bad gets even more, but you need to love hard work because if not, someone else does, and that means your spot.

<span style="font-family: Arial;">I
grew up in Lebanon in the middle of a war and when I was 5 years old I moved to
Sweden where I still work today. I fell in love with the hairdressing after my
brother died in the war. My brother was a famous hairdresser and was working
with the royal family of Jordan. My brother is the reason why I became a
hairdresser. My passion is couture fashion and hair, I really love what I do
and I will do it until the day I die.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">When
I was 14 years old, I got my first job in a salon as a shampoo guy and one year
later I went to school to become a professional hairstylist. At very young
age, I won my first competition in Sweden and was hooked. My passion grew and
after a lot of hard work, I went on to win many national and international
awards. My last was Style Master of the Year. I have had the privilege to work for
magazines and television and my work be seen all over the world. Nowadays, I
really am enjoying the opportunity to share what I have learned with others at
some of the biggest hair shows in Sweden in front of thousands of people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

very long hair and she says, “I give you a free hand.” I took the scissors and
in seconds, cut off a huge amount of her hair and she looks at me, almost in
tears, ready to strangle me. I put extra time on her cut because I realized
that something must be going in her life because a women almost never gives you a free hand to do whatever you want. You need to know that something is wrong
here. But in the end, she left with an amazing cut. Two weeks later she come
back with flowers and she gave me a huge hug and said you changed my life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

dead tired from what must have been a very light night out… couldn’t keep his
eyes open to save his life and continually fell asleep all over the set, that
was classic. Another time this poor model was whining and crying for her shoes were
made too small. It was by accident, but she hated me all the whole time, the
looks she gave me but I just couldn’t help but laugh.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: black; font-family: Arial;">Pawel
Wodnicki was born in 1977 in Krakow. His first contact with photography as a
kid in the late 80s when he stumbled upon an old camera called the
"Smeyena" made in the Soviet Union. Though not the greatest camera in
the world, he was hooked, fascinated with it. With a little help of his uncle,
a photographer and filmmaker, Pawel produced his first images, Together they spent
many hours working in a makeshift darkroom formerly known as the bathroom. For
9-year old boy, it was pure magic... just put a piece of white paper into some
liquids and… viola! A few minutes later… a real photo and made all by him!</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"> <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">Unfortunately
after a few months, he lost his beloved first camera – it got smashed during a bicycle
trip... And sadly, he suffered first divorce with his new love… photography.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">A new love quickly took her place… computers. At
first, it was a simple Atari, then his first PC in high school. Soon he was
immersed in computer graphics, photo retouching and collage. Self taught, he
began designing his own web sites and started landing real client for real
money. By the end of high school, Pawel handed
landed a gig with a youth magazine and found a copy of the book
"Photography" by famed British Photographer John Hedgecoe, which
became a huge influence and inspiration. His first love was back and a new
camera, too… the Canon 500N.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">Pawel continued his work with the magazine
through the end of high school and during his studies at university. Teamed
with a journalist friend, they began covering movie premieres shooting
celebrities interviews. He began working with models on his own and soon had an
exhibition of his work an art gallery. Freelance work in advertising soon
followed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">At the end of his studies, he started working
for a dotcom as a marketing specialist and soon rose to marketing director. The
demands of his job left little time for photography. His Canon was left collecting dust on a shelf
and rather than go to waste, it was sold. So most unfortunately, there was his
2nd divorce with his love… photography.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">As the next few years came and went, his
ambition grew and Pawel started his own small advertising agency. He missed photography. From a distance, Pawel
observed as the digital revolution in photography swept in. He knew this was
the future but at the time the costs were too high and the level of quality not
quite there. He bided his time, he married and soon after the wedding he
decided to by his first digital camera. His love of photography could no longer
be denied. It was advanced compact camera by Fuji - yes, it was betrayal of his
beloved Canon, but thank fully, the romance was very short.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">The rapid advancements in the new digital world
soon made the Fuji obsolete. Pawel bought his first DSLR – made, of course, by
Canon. The inspiration was back. He started buying every book he could find. Learning
everything he could, along with many discussions with photographer friends, his
passion grew. Still, it was only a hobby. His main source of income was
computer graphics and especially web design. Then it came, the first real gig
as a photographer, then a second, a third. He began investing everything he
could into new photo and studio equipment. At the beginning, his wife could
only raise her eyebrows but with every step, every job and every picture, she saw
it was this that made her husband happiest and even sometimes… money. She became
his biggest source of support and encouragement – some of his best lenses were
gifts from his wife. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">In 2009, he opened his own photography studio
and started working more as a photographer than a web designer. With the
arrival of a baby boy to his family, Pawel started experimenting with movies as
well - using his trusty DSLR to the fullest degree of its capabilities. Pure
magic.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">Nowadays Pawel spends his days on a variety of photo
shoots - portrait, artistic nude, glamour, fashion and, of course, advertising.
He’s a member of the Royal Photographic Society and takes part in many photographic
contests. He was won an International Portrait and Nude Contest Aphrodite award
in 2010, and was featured in FIAP International Salon of Digital Photography -
Exposed 2011. His work can be seen in many magazines, newspapers, websites and gallery
exhibitions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

you very much for sharing your time with us. I was wondering with your
experience in graphic design, do you think that helps you as a photographer? If
so, how?</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;"><b>Pawel:</b> It's a pleasure for me to be your guest.
And of course the previous experience in graphic design is very helpful. First
of all you don't need to pay for retouching ;-))) Digital photography without
graphic programs is not so exciting. If you want to make creative pictures you
need to do some changes on your file. Comparing it to the analog photography -
if you don't use any postproduction it is like making a film and giving it to
the nearest photolab. They make prints using typical, default settings and as
the effect You get borring pictures. But if you take the film to your own
darkroom, spend a lot of time experimenting with masks, chemistry etc the efect
is much more interesting and sometimes spectacular. Today, graphic programs have
the same functions like darkrooms in analog age. And some kinds of pictures
(beauty, fashion etc) must be edited and retouched - it is the requirement of
the style.</span><b><br /></b></span></span></div>

In the moment when you buy your first DSLR you choose which company gives you the best solution to meet your needs. And then you buy flashes, lenses and other accessories. Everything works usually only within your system. So, of course, I know people who changed their system but it is very uncomfortable and uneconomical.</span></div>

and we are now part of the digital age, the darkroom has been replaced by a
desktop. What tools do you use once a shoot is over? What tools would you
recommend to someone just starting out?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;"><b>Pawel:</b> To say it in one sentence we should say
that darkroom has been replaced by Lightroom :) So it is much, much brighter
situation. Of course, there is a big difference between professional and
amatour photographers. If you want to edit a lot of pictures in a short time
and in the highest quality you need powerful tools like Lightroom or Photoshop.
But there is a lot of other, cheaper or even free software. I.e. You can
replace Photoshop by Gimp and you can use the software added to your camera to
process RAW files. For managing pictures you can use i.e. Picassa by Google or Flickr.</span></span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #333333;"><b>Renata & Jonathan:</b> Pawel, what is the
biggest challenge for you when work on a project? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #333333;"><b>Pawel:</b> The most important thing is the
satisfaction of the customer so the biggest challenge is always to get to know
your clients expectations. This challange is universal for all kinds of
pictures. And every type of photo-job has it's own challenges and difficulties.
Making a portrait you have to try to catch your model expression and emotions.
Making nudes you must gain the trust with the model - without it the pictures
have artificial and spiritless look. Nude model must be sure that the aim of
photographer is only the great picture of her/his body and not the nudity in
itself.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;"><br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">Fashion photoshoot is also always very big
challenge because of the responsibility of every team member. There is a lot of
work of make-up artist, hairdresser, stylist, model and photographer is at the
end of the long journey.</span></span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #333333;"> The risk of spoiling the work made by so many people is
really big and You have to be fully focused from the beginnig to the end of the
photoshoot.</span><span style="color: #333333;"><br />

I was looking for something challenging to try to do the other week, when I stumbled on another book on Advanced Photoshop techniques. Saw this tutorial and had to give it a whirl. </div>

I selected her eyes and on a separate layer, enlarged them to start really changing the look. At this point she is starting to remind me more of a Mark Ryden painting. Which might be a cool post down the road when I think on it.</div>

With the use of a layer mask, she gets a new doo and some ribbons. The new look is just about achieved. Time for a cool background. </div>

I really had a hard at this point settling. It was too much fun and really wanted the piece to be more than just a run through a tute. Something more original. But due to the amount of projects on my plate, I just went with it. The piece was a little dark and wanted to do something a little different, so I added <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/82340308/the-phineas-alazar-grubb-garden-gnome" target="_blank">one of Renata's necklaces</a> to her, adjusted the color some and here is the final result.</div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Phillip Lim: "We Live by the Dress and Die by the Dress."</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/design/2011/phillip-lim">Excerpt</a> from Bee Shyuan-Chang's great article in Fast Company's United States of Design</span><br />
<br />
"I WANT MY WORK TO SPEAK FOR ME." Phillip Lim says these words flatly, much as he says everything when you first meet him. It's really quite a fashion-designery thing to say--rather predictable, a tad pretentious, and not meaning much at all. Except in Lim's case, he's not kidding, because he doesn't seem to want to speak for himself.<br />
<br />
"Phillip is elusive," says Wen Zhou, CEO of Lim's company, 3.1 Phillip Lim. "It's shy," Lim clarifies. Elusive, shy, even distant and aloof--he does not seem like a designer for these times of red carpets and paparazzi, social climbing and social media. "If you're giving all the time to the flashbulbs, to the people at the parties, it's exhausting," he says of his choice to stay mostly off the circuit. He avoids Facebook and Twitter. In conversation, he often deflects prying questions with one-liners that seem direct but are cryptic in retrospect. He once defined his style as "classic but twisted." What does that even mean?<br />
<br />
Whatever it is, shoppers have loved it. Lim's style has, in just six years, fueled a fashion engine that is on target to drive $60 million in revenue this year. Along with his original womenswear collection, he now does menswear, childrenswear, swimwear, accessories, even lingerie. But the genius of 3.1 Phillip Lim isn't found only in the design of the clothes; you can also spot it on the price tag. Tomoko Ogura, women's fashion director of Barneys Co-op, says,"He's a pioneer in terms of bringing a level of sophistication and a true integrity to design at the contemporary price point." In other words, the clothes are made well, look good, and won't cost you a month's wages--a troika in fashion that's all too rare.At 38, Lim finds himself both a commercial and critical darling. In 2007, the Council of Fashion Designers of America presented him with its Swarovski award for womenswear; this year, he was a finalist for menswear. And on September 2, a day after his birthday, GQ Chinamade him its 2011 designer of the year. Fashion-criticism doyenne Suzy Menkes of the International Herald Tribune has praised the "careful craftsmanship" of his work, calling it "dynamic" and "energizing." And, of course, he has his requisite celebrity following. "He designs so beautifully," says actress Rachel Bilson, who last year cohosted, with Vogue, a first-anniversary fete for Lim's L.A. store. "There is always a brilliant nod to femininity with a touch of edge."<br />

Beata Synkiewicz was born in Krakow in 1986 under the shadow of Chernobyl. She began writing as a child and was inspired by fashion even then when she started drawing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Despite her obvious interest in art, Beata’s parents decided to send her to music school since it was discovered she had perfect pitch. Beata loved the violin but the school only had a cello available… she didn’t like the school to begin and that was the last straw. She rebelled. She transferred to a new school and focused on athletics since a child she was always a little bit chubby. With her art ability, she got involved designing posters and such for school activities. When she turned 14, she discovered graphic design and computers and was hooked for life. <br />
<br />
During high school, Beata got her first computer and scanner. Her creativity blossomed… Creating digital collages using trial versions of design software. When they expired she would then reformat her whole PC to use them again. Playing piano and singing along with designing filled her life with inspiration. Songwriting also became another huge form of self-expression. The piano became another of her best friends.<br />

<br />
<b>In her own words</b> <br />
<br />
It all started when I had the chance to go to medical school but fell in love instead and soon became a single mother. My daughter, Kinga, changed my life completely. She motivated me to become a better person and strive to be someone she could look up to. <br />
<br />
So I decided to follow my father’s footsteps in agriculture and studied animal husbandry in college. As my child grew so did my ideas despite some financial difficulty. A scholarship enabled me to buy my first camera and I never went anywhere without it. It became my passion. Shooting anything that captured my imagination; photography empowered me even if I didn’t know exactly what I was doing. I could use my camera and computer to create a world of my very own. My interest in shooting people began when I realized I need actors to populate this world and began seeking out the players to inhabit my creations. <br />
<br />
The owner of M&M Studios in Staszow then discovered my work online. He wanted me to photograph evening gowns with the freedom to do it any way I saw fit. The location was Wawel castle. It was exciting. Working with professional models, makeup artists and directing them was a wonderful experience. <br />
<br />
After that shoot, my career truly began. Fashion shoots of anything from a line of blouses to bikinis, I discovered others appreciated my work and soon was doing wedding photography as well. I felt became a true photographer. Enamored with old black and white photography, the glamour and mood they had spoke to me. Vintage clothes along with distressed textures also worked its way into my own work.<br />
<br />
My music still helps keep me balanced and compliments my photography and continues to help me express myself. <br />
<br />
<b>Interview</b><br />
<br />
<b>R&J: We are pleased to introduce you to photographer and artist, Beata Sienkiewicz. While we are here to talk a little photography, just couldn’t help share some of her art work and the scene at her first art show.</b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z47LIPj4CbY/Tr8C1cAEeiI/AAAAAAAAAoA/0S5EsqPNw6k/s1600/04-Art.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z47LIPj4CbY/Tr8C1cAEeiI/AAAAAAAAAoA/0S5EsqPNw6k/s1600/04-Art.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<b>R&J: First we want to thank you for joining us today, Beata, could you tells us a little about living in Krakow as an artistic, creative person.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Beata: </b>No, no… Thank you for taking an interview with me. Your blog seem to be one of the most interesting I’ve ever visited. About the question… Krakow is very unique city. A place where art is created at the speed of light, it is in the air, where you can meet professional artists playing guitar, singing or painting on the streets at night. We all feel the freedom in creating. It is our reality. It’s wonderful. I don’t really feel like an artist at all… I have passion… a love for imagery, for light … I also love drawing (especially old humpbacked men with birdcages ;) but not on the streets - I draw whenever I can find the time, usually on buses, during my way home/work.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>R&J: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your work, it has a wonderful edginess, intensity and the occasional a dash of mystery, especially your black and white shoots, do you prepare differently for a black and white shoot compared to color? What does fashion mean to you? </b><br />
<br />
<b> Beata:</b> My understanding of word “fashion” differs from most. I feel it’s like a picture, which is created by each person and placed into her environment. A composition of colours and form, a kind of a collage representing a piece of your style, yourself, even your soul. Fashion is kind of language I have only just begun to learn. In my work, I try to make a dialogue with the people expressing it. Fashion inspires, but I still feel more inspired by fashion photographers (like Richard Avedon, Paolo Roversi, Annie Liebovitz) than designers. Of course, the world of fashion does influence my life, but not as much as the photography itself, catching the moment, light and beauty. <br />
<br />
When taking a photo, I already know if it’s going to be in black and white or color. It depends mostly on nature of the shapes sculpted by light. I prefer black and white because I always felt, that colour is only illusion but the sharpness, contrast and structure are always constant, and that’s what black and white shows – truth. <br />

<br />
<b>R&J: What is your favorite camera? What advice would you recommend for someone starting out in photography? </b><br />
<br />
<b>Beata:</b> I love all of the cameras I’ve ever had. I began with Nokia 3220, then I went with a Panasonic FZ7, I think my favourite one was and still is the PENTAX K100D because of the M42, and the sound of shutter, its also quite heavy – you feel the iron and glass in it. It was my first reflex camera and I still use it sometimes. For beginners, I have only one piece of advice. Don’t pay a lot of money for the camera until you understand your own needs as a photographer. Buy something affordable, learn how to use it, find out what your needs are then invest in the next one – make this choice wisely and try to rely on your own experience. <br />

<br />
<b>R&J: You are a parent, a student, an artist and photographer, how on earth do you manage to do all that and still sleep? </b><br />
<br />
<b>Beata:</b> Sleep? What does that strange word mean? ;) No… I was juggling. ;) It’s gets easier when you doing all the stuff you love, that you’re really interested in. I relax while taking the photos, I feel wonderful while creating some graphics – it’s similar to a moment with good book or listening to your favourite music (my favourites are Bjork and old swing bands) and I love being a parent – so this is perfect situation for me. I don’t feel I just do all these things. I’d even take a risk in saying, that without these all these things I’d be uncomfortable, sad and I’d miss each one of them.<br />

<br />
<b>R&J: Beata, what advice would you give to a single mother out there, who also has a dream, but maybe not sure where to start? </b><br />
<br />
<b>Beata:</b> Hmmm… would it be unkind if I told them just to make their dreams come true and that’s all? It has to be something like determination. Every day should bring to us something new and special. Don’t go asleep if you can’t say, that today you learned something new, you did something special… And try to do everything to make your loved ones proud of you. <br />
<br />
My biggest inspiration is my daughter, I love her with all my heart – and all I do – I do for her as well, so she will be proud of me. <br />

"The queen of cool. Probably one of the most-requested models of all my clients. She is the perfect old-school clothes-hanger with a little eighties androgyny thrown in." <b>Kendall Herbst</b> <i>New York Magazine </i><br />
<br />
Freja Beha was one of the inspirations behind one of 105 LOOK's latest issues, <a href="http://www.105looks.com/guides/rebel-makeup-look">REBEL</a>, so be sure to check that out. Discovered in Denmark in 2005 by an agent in a passing taxi, Freja has been turning heads ever since. On the runway and in print, her work for the likes of Gucci, Chanel and others is just incredible.<br />
<div>
<br />
With that in mind, I am happy to share with you our choice for an incredible weekend look. Inspired by Freja and a rebellious spirit and made possible by <a href="http://www.105looks.com/">105 LOOKs</a>. We hope you enjoy and rock this look. XOXO</div>
