Copying Beethoven


I recently watched a movie called "Copying Beethoven". It talks about the great composer, and how he spent his days trying to compose his 9th symphony while deaf. With the help of a young lady he finds himself and finds the music again!
The cinematography is incredible, I particularly liked the shooting during the symphony sequence, specially the last 10 seconds when they focus on his face, you can feel the emotions pouring out.. Everyone should watch it, its very artistic, and deep..

I liked this advert. It's a self promotion piece done by Fabrika. Nice illustration, and very well directed! The translation reads " We don't wait for a BIG opportunity, we take every opportunity!"
Nice statement..

Head Up!

Steve Bronstein

Here are some great shots taken by the great photographer Steve Bronstein. Whoever is into photography would know him from the Absolut Vodka campaign advertisments that he has been shooting since 1978. his website is well worth a look at!

Steve joined a cooperate of professional photographers such as Howard Berman, Carlo Van de Roer, Sally Gall, & Julia Kuskin to creat the group b-hive.

When i first saw these 2 pictures i was shocked! you do not come upon shots of this quality very often.. the idea is great, the woman is throwing her martini glass into the mans face, while the man in the first shot throws his whisky into the womans face. clever execution, and very interesting exploration of the high shutter speed world.







Notice how the yellow is cleverly cut from the white and placed at the opposite side to creat this very original and innovative Ying Yang sign.
