Feature Friday: The Fanfic that sparked a photoshoot

Just in time for Friday. The past few weeks have been quite hectic, involving sleepless, bath-less days, working. And since there's zero internet connection at work, everything has to be done late at night. Also, this Friday is a double feature!

I normally feature artists, but this time, I'm featuring a fan fiction piece that inspired me to have this photoshoot. After all, Feature Friday's all about inspiration.

Character inspired by Jasper Whitlock.

It's based on a Twilight fanfic by jandco, called Scotch, Gin, and The New Girl. Now normally, I don't read fanfics. Actually, I've never heard of it before, until twitter happened, and I had people on my home page raving about this. I never regretted reading it. I actually enjoyed it a lot. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to have a photoshoot inspired by a character off the fanfic! Jasper's one of my favorite characters because he's just beaming with so much personality and style. Note the signature fedora, and suspenders. There's more that's missing, but that'll be for you to find out. I'd give this a do-over in a heart beat, I promise you that.

What I love about it is that the characters are so alive, and very interesting. It's just so exciting to just think of bringing them to life in one way or another. I've had a photoshoot once, and trust me. Once I get hold of my resources, I'd have one stellar shoot based on each chapter. That, is how fun this fanfic is. Give it a read as well, if you haven't already. It just might inspire you.

Feature Friday: Esteban Diacono

It is through this amazing visual artist that I discovered the amazing neo-classical artist Olafur Arlalds. I've only found Esteban's work a few weeks ago when his video was featured at motionographer, and the moment I saw this video, I've become an instant fan.

I honestly don't have much to say about this video genius. I let his magic speak for itself.

I've been following this photographer for years, and up to this day, I still remain a fan of his work. His photographs are inspiring, and I must say, his works have, in some way influenced the photos I've been taking. His work ranges from the simple, to the elaborate, with stories to match. Browsing through this ubertalented artist really inspires me to go out and shoot, and I do hope it does the same to you. Here are some of my faves off his gallery.
