ZOMG GIRLIEZ. Lomo has just released a hot pink Valentines Day version of the Fisheye 2 for you and your beau!!!!!! It's totally hot and sexii and you can take awesome indie-cool photos thanks to it's 180 degree circular distortion feature! Just don't forget to upload them 2 ur facebook ASAP!

When I'm having a bad day, things of a fuschia nature usually make me want to play that punk rocker song on repeat and bury myself alive. Luckily I saw this neat little baby on a good day, and instead was reminded of rainbows, toffee coated apples, marzipan delights and giant glittery unicorns. Grab one for your analogue lover here. Even better - buy it for yourself, get it express posted to your door and write some kind of kinky accompanying love note that will have all your busybody housemates clutching at their hearts and you seriously questioning your level of asexuality.

On set for the video for 'Sweet Come Down' cinematographer and photographer Stefan Duscio captured some stunning moments of The Black Ryder. 

It's hard not to be jealous when someone fifteen years of age is photographing images like this and you're sitting around writing limericks and dunking carb-fuelled doughnuts (do doughnuts have carbs?) into your coffee, thinking about your phat new year diet resolution. Olivia Bee (or Olivia Bolles as her classroom roll reads), has gained an impressive Flickr following for her dreamy photography, which features her seemingly endless plethora of nymphette companions. Even the mega-giant-corporate-peeps at Converse want in on the Oregon maestro, striking up an advertising deal with the clever young thang. Way to make me feel creatively inferior Olivia.

Since when did British paper The Observer get so cool? Since they gave eight leading photographers, including Nan Goldin, Mary McCartney and Sam Taylor Wood, a polaroid camera for a day and asked them to capture their final images on the iconic film (as produced by the Polaroid brand), that's when.

British photographer Laura Pannack sure knows how to make our eyeballs itch. Her quintissentially English portraits explore the relationship of awareness and distance that exists between artist and subject. There's something a little eerie about that first point of contact with a photographic still; for a distinct moment in time you are able to share in a reality that once existed. Muse away, kids.

In a lush, immersive feast for the senses the creative duo of Denis Montalbetti and Gay Campbell present a stunning array of personal and commissioned work. With a taste for the baroque their images are marked by a rich visual complexity subtly laced with a darker sensuality. In this exhibition the works are staged in a series of installations styled by Cassandra Scott-Finn, creating a fairytale journey through the imagination of two of Australia's most celebrated photographers.

If you’re near Oxford Street tonight, be sure to drop into the Fringe Bar to check out Elle Green’s photography exhibition. Her diverse use of photography is absolutely amazing, everything from fashion, portraits, skateboarding, travel and more. Since studying Photography at RMIT in Melbourne for 3 years, Elle has travelled to South Africa. In 2007, upon her return she designed and self published her first travel/photo book, complete with her own handwriting. She then curated her first solo photography exhibition at MTV gallery in 2008. After her trip to Japan shooting fashion and skateboarding, she then grew the love for skate photography and has shot the Bowl-a-rama in Bondi every year since. Her skate photography led to an interview with pro skater and presenter Corbin Harris on his show on Fuel TV.
 
She has recently returned from Japan, where she documented label, The Critical Slide Society (TCSS) at surf/art/music festival Greenroom, Fishfry Japan and other surf related events. Be sure to check out her blogs, http://criticalslidesociety.blogspot.com/search/label/Elle%20Green, http://www.criticalslidesociety.blogspot.com/, http://hellintokyo.blogspot.com/


Her exhibition “it’s time to go, baby� consists of fashion and party photos from Tokyo. Over 50 are on display and a zine featuring all the prints along with a handwritten description of each will be on sale. Rad stuff, see you there!
