sofia coppola.

Sometimes I wish I was a little girl living in a Sofia Coppola film, there is almost nothing more inspiring and intriguing to me than the characters she depicts and creates in each movie. We always love a good combo of Kirsten Dunst, 90's films, pale skin and troubled spirits. While flicking through the new Vogue we found an amazing write up on the director/producer/actress with a list of all of her favourite things. There is something so fascinating about reading what inspirers those who inspire. We hope one day we can do the same!

It was January this year when Claire and I decided to collaborate for a final shoot before she moved to Melbourne, and we made it the biggest either of us had ever done to that point. We kept it raw and local: young designers fresh out of TAFE, and unsigned models scouted off the street. But what I loved most about it was the way it brought out our different styles: the contrast of the darkness and the light.

Our concept for the shoot was for the styling to be inspired by the elegance and strength of birds, but looking back I see a split personality reflected in the shoot, the simultaneous darkness and light that we each have inside us. Go to Claire's facebook page to see even more beautiful images.

We're so excited for a not so little project that has been brewing in the casper&pearl studio these last few months! What makes it that bit more exciting is that some of our most favourite Australian bloggers are getting involved! This collaboration is giving us tingles of excitement, what is better than supporting emerging designers, street style, hand written letters and saving lives? Well we can't think of anything!

Every day is a good day to shoot a roll or two of Ilford HP5+ 35mm, which is what made me so excited to spend a couple of afternoons hanging out in the studio shooting for my old friend's debut EP. While the mixes are still in the works, you can hear his husky-toned demos on Jake's soundcloud.

I do have to apologise for the quality of the scans; I'm very unhappy with all the places I've tried so far in Adelaide (various Diamonds and Camera House outlets - Atkins can be difficult to get to within opening hours). It's the first time I've had anything push processed (400 ISO pushed to 1600) and I'm thrilled with those results, though. Got any thoughts on black and white film/processing/scanning? I'd love to hear them.
