Faceless portraits from Chris Ozer

With over 400,000 followers on Instagram, photographer Chris Ozer has been solidifying a success story that began rapidly with the help of internet. Those who know the work of this photographer from Brooklyn, New York, swear that he has been doing this  all his life. Slight mistake! Chris was a former jazz musician and only discovered himself professionally in September 2011.

His first series of pictures was taken in North Carolina, near his and his mother’s home, and was published in Instagram. From there he got a taste for photography and began studying perspective, light, composition and all the technical and artistic issues that involve a good image.

With idols like Vivian Maier and Henri Cartier-Bresson, his goal is to make a photograph more organic, but without any pretensions to reach this level of quality.

Very nice work.

Floating Flowers

The floating ripple vases designed by the Japanese at oodesign is almost imperceptible at first, but provides a sensational effect to flowers. The arrangement is always dynamic, as the vases are made from PET which is super-light material. That is, with every movement of air, the plants move.

A simple idea that transforms any container with water into a potential flower vase. 

Accessories from Paris Fashion Week

The Paris Fashion Week took place between February 26 and March 6, ending the season of winter parades for 2013. Still in the radical and trendy, we saw many colors, prints and textures, especially the exaggerated accessories, which make up lush looks with harmony.

 Miu Miu, the young brand by Miuccia Prada, bet on the mix of classic patterns, from polka dots to thin stripes, in contrasting colors. The emphasis on accessories was left to the booties inspired in the 1910´s. Chanel celebrated its 100 years in business with a fashion parade "around the world" a theme that also served as the inspiration for a purse-shaped globe. Acclaimed by the public, the centennial maison transformed its iconic chains into props for the long length boot that has everything to be the main object of desire this season.

Hedi Slimane, to everyone's surprise, presented a Saint Laurent grunge, very different from the origins of the brand. Filled with fishnets and chess pieces, the collection also included boots with heavy buckles and an air of defiance.  The Paul & Joe innovated with flush fur around the neck, excellent for the coldest winters. Incidentally, skins, furs and feathers were also seen on the Louis Vuitton handbags and allegorical footwear from Alexander McQueen.

Apparently, the winter in the northern hemisphere will have nothing that is minimalist. 

Louis Vuitton introduces its lookbook for Spring/Summer 2013

The Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer collection 2013 calls upon nautical expeditions, and laid-back outfitting of its expansive range with a certain degree of luxury and a sporting look. While fluorescent plaid and sporty items gain prominence alongside T-shirts and cashmere pullovers, in neutral colors, along with fitted linen shirts and classic footwear profiles display a softer more casual elegance. All of this is very casual, but without neglecting the elegance.

Well fitted blazers and tailoring adjusted to suit the body makes the ideal counterpoint for monogrammed tote bags that can be personalized with the initials of the owner. The lookbook displays the elegant range in East Africa, with a backdrop of stunning scenery that enhances the appeal of the nautical season.

Elegance and comfort in the right degree.

A field of lavender in England

At first glance you may think that these photos were taken in Provence, in the famous lavender fields in France. But in fact, this is another lavender field, this one is in Somerset, England.

A lavender farm in Somerset is home to more than 50 thousand plants in vibrant colors. If you visit them at the right time, usually in June or July, you can capture similar pictures.

How about testing your photographic skills on your next vacation? The setting could not be more amazing. 

The rainbow of lights of the Netherlands Architecture Institute

Whoever visits the Netherlands Architecture Institute will start the trip by having to go under a tunnel that looks like a rainbow of lights. The person responsible for this is the artist Peter Struycken, who turned over 550 meters of columns into a row of screens where the color combination is always a surprise.

The columns are illuminated uniformly by a simple system of red, green and blue lights. The color mixing is done by a software command every 10 minutes that completely changes the scenario.

To illuminate. 

The contemporary vase Benjamin Graindorge

The Heirloom Vase, a creation of designer Benjamin Graindorge was presented at the Maison et Objet in Paris in a quite contemporary way; Benjamin sought innovation in the piece that became a work of art in the environment where it is located.

It resembles the shape of a basket, made from ceramics. Really cool!

Aerial photos of tulip fields delight the eyes

The Netherlands is famous for being the place with the most cultivated tulips in the world. The Belgian photographer Bruxelles5 recorded the beauty of vast fields of tulips that bloom every year, between March and May. In the spring, the fields look like a huge sea of color, incredible.

Nature always highlighted as beauty. Gorgeous!

The real beauty of New York after a blizzard

In 2013, New York made the headlines of newspapers all over the world because of a heavy snowfall. One of them was nicknamed Nemo by The Weather Channel, due to its formation caused by the collision of two weather systems, one from the west and the other south. It was after the Nemo blizzard, that photographer Dustin Cantrell took these beautiful photos.

The photos, which are breathtaking, give us a view of how New York really is after a snowstorm. The photographer chose to leave everything in black and white because he thought it captured the best feeling of the moment.
According to the photographer, a series of photos taken in Central Park aims to make us think about how life would be with time to stop and enjoy the beauty of the landscape.
See the photos in the image gallery and fall in love with a New York covered in snow.

A tool that will help you when washing the dishes!

 As we all know, hygiene is essential to maintain a healthy life. The bottom of bottles or glasses is a difficult place to reach when washing them.

Thinking about this, the designer Hakan Gürsu developed a tool that helps perfectly when doing the dishes. It is a kind of "mechanical sweeper" that cleans your dishes perfectly.

It's that "extra helping hand" that was needed to make your day-to-day much more practical!
