Inspirational pictures, where did they come from?

My first inspirational picture is of myself, boyfriend and friends at my best friends wedding in Japan Fukuoka. This picture inspires me because of the love I have for the people and the country of Japan. I have great memories from travelling Japan for a few weeks back in May 2015, this photo was taken on the 19th May in a traditional brewery in Japan, surrounded by Chie's (Friends wife) family and friends, it was a majestic day, the camera man unknown and models are of myself, boyfriend, friend and two of Chie's friends. This is an unposed image and I love how engaged each one of us are and its a natural and relaxed, we are sitting at the dinner table at the wedding being engaged on the day, this is why this is my inspiring photo.

21/10/15 Artist Gustav Klimt, 1908 in Austria.

'The Kiss' Gustav Klimt famous painting, first time it was shown in public was in 1908 in an Austrian gallery. 1907 he began painting this inspiring photograph, it shows a man kissing the woman in an embrace, it's passionate, not a lot going on, but I love feeling it shows behind it. The colours and patterns work well, how classical beautiful the woman looks which reflects her love for him and verse versa. Its a unit of love and I simply love this painting.



Photographer: David LaChapelle (b.1964) Model: Debbie Harry: Taxi Crash

Unknown make-up artist. I love the rebellious, attitude in this photograph, it shows power in a sassy, edgy way. In the photo you can see shes crashed into a phone booth in a taxi and is now posing on the taxi, it gives the carefree feel, I could almost imagine her saying 'Yeah I did it and what'. I love her sheer confidence and the way she has open body language, it shows power to women also. This inspires me as a fashion editorial and also shows of glam as well as power. 



Alexander McQueen Fashion Editoral- Punk queen model: Anja Rubik wears Alexander McQueen for the August issue of Vogue Paris in 2013. Make-up by Lisa Butler.
It is only a couple years old, it shows half good and half rebel, it is fierce and bold. I love the pose of Anja Rubik, its strong and inspiring to me because it comes across that she is powerful and there is no need to pose in a timid way it shows dominance and shines through from the picture.

Alexander McQueen Fashion Editorial Model: Anja Rubik for Vogue Paris August 2013 by Inez & Vinoodh
'Half Queen Half Punk' where 'God save the Queen' was headlined below the photograph in Vogue, it was astounding and I like the fact the photo is half glam to represent the queen and the other half which is rocky, bold and genius in all ways. I love the contrast of the photo, It is inspiring because it's different and stylish, it is different to other photos you see in editorials, it makes you stare and but fasinated with the picture, it shows and reflects power of women and I love the angles of Anja Rubik.

Inspiring photograph of my Great Grandmother, a over head, to the side image where she is looking away, I love the positioning. This was taken in the 1930's, it's a classical, timeless image, that will never go out of fashion. This is beauty, she's natural and i've always loved this picture growing up. It's chic and glamorous, the photographer is unknown and the Model is my Great Grandmother, I knew she used to always do her own make-up.

Models unknown, Victoria secret models, 2004 campaign- uploaded 21/10/15
These woman are being natural and having fun in their own skin and it shows and radiates through with this campaign. This beauty campaign is inspiring, as I believe that all women don't have to be skinny to be beautiful, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, it makes each one of us individual. This campaign was in 2004, Dove Campaign with the use of models and every day women. I love the comparisons and shows how real beauty is, there is too much pressure from media to look a certain because of celebrities and it is all around us, I believe more beauty campaigns should be like the bottom one with the use of real women.

Model: Audrey Kitching, Peta Beauty campaign against animal cruelty make-up products, she is showing agression in her face as she is speaking on the behalf of the animals. It is a powerful, with the use of the cat in the photo, it is important to be aware of whats happening within the make-up industry and I find this inspiring to see compassion with animals and to treat them fairly. This campaign reflects the importance and beauty of living animals that this is effecting, its a glamorous shot with good use of colour which is eye catching.
