ALE'S BIRTHDAY

INSPIRED BY FRIDA KALHO

Frida Kahlo de Rivera (1907–1954; born Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderón) was a mexican painter, born in Coyoacán and perhaps best known for her self-portraits. Her work has been celebrated in Mexico as emblematic of national and indigenous tradition, and by feminists for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form. 

Nowadays she's still an inspiration for many people like Anouk Nitsche. So here you have some pictures of the last shooting as assistant photographer of Anouk. It's always a pleasure work with her!

LANDSCAPES

I'd like to show you some of the classical photographers of landscapes.

Apparently this is the first picture known by Nicéphore Niepce, 1826 (8 hours exposure).

Probably this one is the first picture where appear two human beings... 1838 by Daguerre.

Moonrise, New México, 1944 by Ansel Adams.

Ruth Thorne-Thomsen mostly uses pinhole cameras to create surreal landscapes by place together real environments with collaged images and objects.
