ANTM 1

Inspiration from America's Next Top Model




Dan Oliver

Looking through the portfolios of local Wisconsin photographers, I found a man in Wausau named Dan Oliver. Here are my favorite images from him:

 

I love the lines of this nude. She's a triangle, made out of triangles. That sounds weird, I know.



Jan Scholz

I was told by a photographer to look at the work of Jan Scholz. Gorgeous, timeless work. Here are some of my favorites:

I love the sadness in her face and where her arms lay.

Between the sweater and her soft curls, I just want to pet her. Lol. Plus, her face is both strong and soft at the same time.

I relate to this girl, maybe because I wear a ponytail at that height, and touch my forehead a lot.

The girl in this photo and the next, I also can relate to. She looks like a child in adult clothing. That's how I feel, too. She looks lost in the second picture. I love it.

 


 
This picture is also childish (perhaps because the vegetation is the same height as the girl is), but also still strong.

The girl in the two photos below is also beautiful.

The Beauty Bar

Chain of bars around the US based on vintage beauty salons. Drink specials include manicures. I worried that men might not come to these bars, but pictures seem to show lots of them there!

Joel Anderson Photography

I went to the Art Fair on the Square today and had two favorite photographers. One is Joel Anderson (www.joelandersonphoto.com). I love his ability to find rural, "undiscovered" spots. He also has an ability to catch animals into poses. Use of light is great.



This is the photo that made me stop inside his booth:
