Ben Hassett: Minimalist Beauty Photography

Despite only ever using three or four colors to comprise his shots—a technique he calls “color monochrome"—Ben Hassett has managed to ascend rather quickly to the top of the world of beauty photographers. It is this simplicity and attention to detail that Hassett has honed into his signature style, catapulting him to fame as “the [Irving] Penn of his generation”, or so says German Vogue.

His work can be found in such publications as Harper’s Bazaar, L'Express Styles, W Magazine, Numéro, GQ, Allure, Vogue Japan, Vogue Paris, Vogue China and—last but not least—Vogue Germany. In addition to his editorial work, he has also shot advertising campaigns for clients such as Anteprima, Pringle of Scotland, Dior, Lanvin, and Givenchy.

Stiff Pose Victorian Postmortem photography (140 Pics)

Postmortem photography or memento mori, the photographing of a deceased person, was a common practice in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The photographs were considered a keepsake to remember the dead. Child mortality was high during the Victorian era. For many children even a common sickness could be fatal. When a child or other family member died, families would often have a photograph taken before burial. Many times it was the first and last photograph they would ever possess of their loved one. Many postmortem photographs were close-ups of the face or shots of the full body. The deceased were usually depicted to appear as if they were in a deep sleep, or else arranged to appear more life-like. Children were often shown on a couch or in a crib, often posed with a favorite toy. It was not uncommon to photograph very young children with a family member, most frequently the mother. Adults were more commonly posed in chairs or even propped up on something.
