A German artist is planning on creating a mobile version of IMAGO1:1 – the only camera in the world capable of true 1:1 reproduction for full-length self-portraits. Originally built in 1970, the camera works like a photo booth, projecting a true-to-life 1:1 portrait onto 60cm x 200cm sheets of black-and-white direct positive paper. Artist Susanna Kraus, daughter of original IMAGO1:1 co-inventor Werner Kraus is seeking £95,000 to fund the development of a mobile version of this famous camera to tour around the world. Click through for more information on the camera and the Kickstarter-funding link.

Futuristic Fashion: 35 Out-of-this-World Designer Looks

28 Jan

[ By Steph in Design & Products & Packaging. ]

Futuristic Fashion main

Looking straight out of a gritty sci-fi movie, these 35 futuristic and sometimes bizarre high-fashion looks envision a future of metallic artificial hair, dresses that dispense actual cocktails, accordion-like protective headgear and outfits that would fit right in on an alien runway.

Metallic Hair by Junya Watanabe

Futuristic Fashion Metallic Hair Junya Watanabe

Human hair is replaced with sharp, shiny headwear in Junya Watanabe’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection. Functional helmets they’re not, and they certainly look a bit odd to our eyes, but imagine just pulling this thing onto your head every morning and walking out the door rather than spending time styling your hair.

Fashion Technogenesis by DZHUS

Futuristic Fashion DZHUS 2

Ukrainian designer Irina Dzhus is certainly thinking outside the fashion box with her DZHUS concept collection, presenting pieces of clothing as ‘metaphysical objects.’ For all their striking weirdness, many of these garments appear to be quite practical, transforming or offering hidden storage. It’s not hard to imagine the accordion-like headgear being incorporated into a functional rain suit of some sort.

Hypnosis Collection by Ara Jo

Futuristic Fashion Ara Jo

The ‘Hypnosis’ collection by young designer Ara Jo looks like something out of a strange dream, especially the garments that stretch over the wearer’s heads and necks. Some look like medieval torture devices. Unsurprisingly, these looks caught the eye of fashion stylist Nicola Formichetti, who chose one for Lady Gaga.

Sharp and Monochromatic Looks from Gareth Pugh

Few designers deliver such consistently dark, futuristic and beautifully bizarre looks season after season as does Gareth Pugh. The Paris-based, London-born designer is known for his performance art approach to fashion, which frequently includes wearable sculptures and is based on visual themes like the apocalypse, aliens and carnivals.

Fujifilm X100S retains retro looks while adding cutting-edge technologies

08 Jan

fujifilm_x100s.png

Fujifilm has announced the X100S – a significantly enhanced replacement for its X100 large sensor, fixed-lens compact camera. The X100S retains its predecessor’s classic styling but has been extensively re-worked inside, with a 16MP X-Trans sensor that includes on-chip phase-detection elements (a technology first utilized by Fujifilm), and a higher-resolution LCD in its Hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder. A faster ‘EXR II’ processor, along with the on-chip AF information help Fujifilm offer what it says is the world’s fastest AF. The X100S backs-up its rangefinder-esque looks with a digital split-image manual focus system, allowing fast manual focusing. A great many fine details of the camera have also been enhanced – we look in greater detail in our hands-on preview article.

‘It nearly killed me’ says Olympus CEO-turned-whistleblower Michael Woodford of writing about his dramatic exit from the Japanese company following his 2011 exposure of massive corporate mismanagement. In an interview with Amateur Photographer Magazine, Woodford describes the strain on his personal life, and the process of writing a book about the experience with lawyers poring over every word. He also tells of his intention to give to charity much of the £10M he was awarded for unfair dismissal. Click through for extracts from the interview (from Amateur Photographer).
