David Bailey

Since the beginning of his career in the early ’60s, British photographer David Bailey has been considered one of the best in the business, shooting everyone from Sir Michael Caine to The Beatles to Mick Jagger. His work was so impressive, in fact, he was contracted by Vogue at the ripe old age of 23. Though he is best known for his work capturing “swinging London” at its height, as well as his countless images of model Jean Shrimpton, Bailey is still around today, shooting for the likes of i-D Magazine and GQ.

Insta-Peep-O-Gram: Colin Leaman

Photographers, when they’re doing it right, should be storytellers. Such is the case for Colin Leaman, a Philly-based photographer whose work takes a quirky, observational distance from his subjects, a style that has earned his photography a place in Oyster Magazine. Similar in tone to his professional work but a little more casual, Leaman’s Instagram feed is a never-ending stream of pretty girls and equally pretty locations, mixed in with regular life back home. A must-follow, in our humble opinion.

David Hamilton

Best known for his images of young women, British-born French photographer David Hamilton has been as critically acclaimed as he’s been critically received. That being said, his dreamy, soft-focused images have been found everywhere from the pages of Vogue to Elle. Despite personal opinions of Hamilton’s work, he has been a mainstay in both the fashion and art worlds, with images that evoke a strong narrative and unique point of view. To dig through the David Hamilton archives yourself, head on over to eBay for a selection of photography books and a handful of collectible prints.

Marilyn and More…

This past weekend, we had the chance to check out Bert Stern’s “Original Mad Men” exhibition at the Staley Wise Gallery in New York (running through May 18th, 2013). On display were a selection of his works, including some of his infamous shots of Marilyn Monroe, as well as Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, and Marlon Brando. There’s something about a vintage black and white photograph (or colored image for that matter) to add a unique kick to a room. Check out eBay’s smattering of Marilyn Monroe prints - for any price budget.

Coachella Viewpoint

More dogs eye views from the Coachella Music Festival through the lens of photographer Timmy McGurr aka 13th Witness. Gone are the trippy Woodstock days of getting lost “within” the music. Hello cell phones!

Insta-Peep-O-Gram: Marissa Kaiser

Brooklyn-based photographer Marissa Kaiser’s moody, narrative-rich work can be found in the pages of Oyster Magazine and Vice. She’s worked for massive companies like ESPN and Nike, as well as Adidas. Kaiser’s even been known to roam film sets taking stills (have you seen Thumbsucker yet?). And you, my lucky friends, can find her more candid snaps on Instagram. Follow this talented and dynamic young woman for a personal look into the life of a photographer.

Insta-Peep-O-Gram: The Modern Surrealist

For artist (and exceptionally savvy Instagrammer) Nyssa, subtlety and surrealism are the rule. For those who like the more heavy-handed approach to documenting one’s life, this might not be the feed for you. But for all you readers out there who understand the value of delicate, childlike drawings mixed in with photos of the seemingly mundane, you’ll love what Nyssa has in store. It’s a softer take on life, and we think it’s rather wonderful.

Zoo Portraits

This series of portraits, taken by Barcelona-based photographer Yago Partal, features bears, bulls, and beagles dressed and ready to impress. Each chosen outfit lends the animal a distinct personality: a precious giraffe from the Upper East Side, a koala bear with an affinity for beaches, an awkward monkey — all of whom are certainly passport ready.

Insta-Peep-O-Gram: Jenavieve Belair

LA-based photographer Jenavieve Belair’s work is unashamedly So Cal. Laid back and bleached out, this is lifestyle photography that would give any West Coaster nostalgia for road trips, skateboards, beaches, and pretty girls — all of which Belair delivers in spades.
