Photography Inspiration: Nicoline Patricia Malina

I have been shooting photographs close to 4 years now and have looked into a different variety of images and photographers for inspiration. As part of my search to find my vision I would like to share to you guys some of the images that inspire me to shoot or images that I find inspiration for my next photography project. Every day I will post 1 photographer and 5 of his work that I find compelling and visually stimulating.


So first off I'll share you one of my all time favorite fashion photographer: 

She is very pretty too.

Nicoline Patricia Malina is from Indonesia and her works are like very cinematic, rich, vibrant and full of energy. Her works are often showcased in ELLE, Harper's Bazaar as well as Maxim. I find her work to be one of a kind since most of the fashion editorial photos that I have seen are very couture, abstract mostly visually appealing I usually move on to the next but with her it always has a story and every time I looked at it there is always this soundtrack that plays inside my mind while looking at it and for some reason the image lingers in my head.

Jelly for Cinth

Did another shoot for Jelly's thesis but this time Jelly is the model, we did the shoot in Tarlac (where the food and the people was great) and it was my first time to do a fashion shoot with water (the location was under the bridge and it was gorgeous and therapeutic). 

Thanks to Jelly and to the Limos family :)

My favorite photo from the set. I did intentionally
made it out of focus for some unknown reason.

In case you are wondering we shot this one in the middle of a cornfield

Cheers to Cinth!

A big congratulations to Jelly for the successful thesis defense! But before you guys go and check out the photos I would like to take the opportunity to thank her for inviting me to the shoot for her thesis because I was able to work with really really wonderful, awesome and gorgeous people, I had such a great time with them because there was no dull moment during the shoot (thank you Karla for your witty punch lines and I really think that you should write a book). 

I would definitely love to work with them again in the near future. Cheers to Cinth and to future photo shoots with you guys :)

Cheers and a happy holidays to you.
