CHOCOLATE RAISINS

I should be asleep :( but I have just fallen in love with Lina scheynius, so i thought i would write about it whilst i can still seeee. She is a Swedish photographer, she starts her day eating chocolate raisins, maybe this is her creative boost. she is currently based in Paris, she caught my attention in a feature for the digital magazine www.ilovefakemagazine.com. Distinct from the current fashion photographers who have walked into planet-art, what she shoots is (...never before until now) thought-provoking landscape parallel to memories that fearlessly confront subjective tension of sexual desire and personal emotion. She blames the run of similarity through her images on her view of the world around her. Everything is so romantic, glamorously fragile, and significant to the everyday but prob filtered through some fancy cinematic lens. She often uses herself as the sitter; she makes self portraiture seem understated, it’s usually just planned and really embarrassing. www.linascheynius.com/
