With a strong sports influenced aesthetic, John Gripenholm really strands out from other fashion photographers. His work uses stark backgrounds, whether they be shot in a studio or on location. Favoring voluminous patterned clothing, Gripenholm is an expert at capturing motion and the essence of the clothing despite many of his shots using a wider frame.

“Everything is how you dress. Everything. I would never do some sort of stupid picture where everything is dark and you can’t see the fabric or whatever, or crop something badly so you don’t get the right impression of a garment. I did have my problems with fashion before, maybe. As a heterosexual man, I was always a bit embarrassed of being a fashion photographer and didn’t have the confidence to describe myself that way. Now I do have the confidence. It’s a weird thing to do, I know, but I just kind of got into it and I think I do it very well.”

Not sure exactly where I found these two, but I am so glad that I did (so much that I want to tell everyone I know, and all of you Indies that I don’t know about it).  Formally Tomás and Geraldine, these childhood friends have created one hell of a design team that puts LaChapelle at the end of the line.  Photographer and artist Tomi, and artist/illustrator/graphic designer/teacher Cherry reside in Argentina and are constantly creating the most insane work I’ve ever seen.   A big way these two are creating such off-the-wall work is because of their similar visions, and passion for art.  Tomi described to me:

 

“How we work together, is by doing everything side by side. We work together from the beginning designing and manufacturing the scenography’s, and also afterwards taking the pictures (deciding best angle for the shoots and illuminating a scene together). So we don’t credit our work separately as nowadays our knowledges are melting into each other more and more.. usually we credit as doing the photos together, as the final photo is the result of all the work previusly done. But it’s not like I’m specifically the photographer and Cherry the set designer.”

There’s something so creepy about Terry Richardson with half naked women…

Since I got a Twitter account I’ve been randomly followed by a few different people each day.  Luckily, last week it was Radiant Jungle.  I noticed he was a photographer and clicked his link to his website, and was not only impressed by his crazy photos, but also his blog, complete with party photos, fashion opinion columns, and photographer recommendations.  But what I think is the most impressive thing about Radiant Jungle, or Zak Krevitt (formally), is how thought-out his photographs are for a seventeen-year-old. Let me say that again, this kid is 17.  I immediately emailed him and asked a few questions about his work:

FASHION INDIE: How did you get your start in photography?

RADIANT JUNGLE: I got my start when an ex of mine got his first SLR. We fooled around with it for a bit and I made some of my first stabs at party photography. But, that was short-lived and I didn’t start Radiant Jungle until about 6 months later. I had connections to using some old movie lighting equipment and for my first few shoots I used this old, awkward light equipment. Now I own my own stuff and can explore a lot more options.

FI: Where do you come up with your crazy concepts for shoots?

RJ: I do a lot of people watching. Since I was little I would always make up stories for the lives I would imagine people living.  Long drives to the city were always my favorite because you would see a lot of really interesting people on the way there. I like to take these made up stories and try to convey it through my photography.

FI: Where do you hope to take your photography next?

RJ: I’ve had my eye on fashion from day one. I do enjoy doing party-pic stuff but in the end  I want to be working in high fashion. I’m in talks right now with a couple designers (Brian Lichtenberg, Yotam Solomon) about the concepts we want to go with for a future shoot.

FI: What is your favorite thing about art/photography?

RJ: I love how art allows me to put my mind out there. Others can interpret my work however it may apply to them, and I love that. I’ve grown up in a family of artists, I really feel that may have influenced my view on the concept. I’ve always been encouraged to see art everywhere.

FI: Who are some of the best/most creative people you’ve worked with, or enjoyed working with the most?

RJ: The first photographer I worked with was Christoph Barthe, he was french and had really great ideas. He helped me start Radiant Jungle actually, but over that we realized our creative differences were pretty large. Working with Brittany Flickenger (from Paris Hilton’s my new BFF) was … well interesting. We showed up at her North hollywood apartment and she was still asleep. So the male model for the shoot and I went thrifting for a bit. Then she called us and we came over; she was still in her underwear and pajamas and was just dancing around her apartment. It was hilarious. Once she got ready though we had a great time shooting. She’s a really fun subject to shoot.

FI: What is your least favorite thing about it?

RJ: I hate how just about anyone with an SLR and a Myspace account can call themselves a photographer.  The field is becoming a bit over-saturated which has its pros and con’s. One perk is that there is amazing talent being produced by people that would never be able to get their name out there if it wasn’t for the advent of social networking sites. One name that comes to mind is Kris Kidd. He has amazing talent and he’s only 15, he’s very smart and has been extremely successful at getting attention through the internet.

FI: Any advice for hopeful amateurs out there?

RJ: Never take the camera away from your eye. There are a million amazing photographs happening every moment, try not to miss them.

If you aren’t already familiar with his stuff, head immediately over to Rankin’s site.  You’re bound to find something you recognize (like the shot from Mary Kate and Ashley’s Influence  cover), and be unbelievably impressed with his extensive portfolio.  Rankin co-launched Dazed & Confused in ’91 with his business partner, Jefferson Hack, and has continued to shake up the photo world ever since.  He’s done dozens of famous ad campaigns (from Nike, to Dove, to Jameson), and shot just about every celebrity (Madonna, Heidi Klum, The Rolling Stones, Kate Moss…), but I was impressed the most by his beauty portfolio, a series of creative shots, crazy makeup , and perfect lighting.  Rankin is best known for his intimacy with his subjects, and these up close and personal shots display just that.
