David: Sarah Kjelleren's Latest Photo Shoot With Amy Douglas

Sarah Kjelleren

It's been awhile since I've featured Sarah Kjelleren on the site, which many of you may remember through the "Sarah Kjellereon Photo of the Week" posts. I've decided to do without that post now because Sarah is constantly coming out with something new that a photo a week just doesn't cut it. Before I get started on this post I'd like to give her a huge congratulations for getting into the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, which means both of us will be sharing the city together! It's going to be a crazy four years that's for sure.

Anyway Sarah's recent photo shoot was with the very beautiful, Amy Douglas. Below is a quick summary that Sarah wrote for the post:

"I met Amy a free months ago after asking her through Facebook if she was interested in modeling. We did a small shoot at a local party and became good friends. On a recent trip to Burlington Vermont, we were staying at my house and had some great ideas for a shoot when exploring my yard. Styling the shoot I decided on a vintage nude colored slip with lace that was previously owned by my grandmother. Amy wore the shoes that she brought with her and we used two vintage mink fur jackets. The temperature dropped fast as it became dark out, but we continued shooting to get the final shots. I was extremely excited about shooting Amy and she did a fantastic time especially for her second shoot. Without previous experience with modeling Amy continued to amaze me with her natural talent for working in front if the camera."

Here's what Amy had to say about the shoot:

"This shoot was a chilling one, literally. Even the cold Vermont air couldn't hold Sarah Kjelleren back from taking fabulous pictures. She made me feel warm, comfortable and beautiful in her vintage styled dress and variety of lovely fur coats. I love being photographed by Sarah because she is not only an extremely talented young lady but she's the coolest, craziest, most down to earth friend anyone could ask for. Her unique style and eye for eccentric and eloquent beauty are portrayed in all of her photos and this shoot is no exception."

David: Sarah Kjelleren Photo of the Week!

Sarah Kjelleren

Once again Sarah Kjelleren comes back with another amazing photograph, this one of Marlena Tremback. This is definitely my favorite photo from this shoot and I know it's one of Sarah's as well. Here's what she had to say about the photo:

After taking my first trip to NYC ever, I was inspired even more by fashion. The people in the city were so unique in their tastes and it shows how you can really be anyone you want to be while you are there. I did a bit of shopping before the shoot and picked up some vintage apparel. Once my model Marlena Tremback arrived I dressed her up and we headed out into the cold. After trekking through the fields and the falling barn we headed over to a bamboo patch my father had planted. There I pulled out my film camera and took a few shots of Marlena in the leaves. Those can be seen on my blog (www.SarahKjelleren.com).  We then ran inside did a quick outfit change where she was able to wear her grandmothers vintage jacket, and headed out again to the "Stonehenge." The lighting was incredible and air was fresh and crisp. It was a very successful shoot, with many more to come!

David: Create Build Destroy 2011 Spring/Summer Lookbook

Click images to enlarge

"Cradled and nestled within a womb reeking of urban decay, Children of a Lesser God is a figurative and explorative search seeking to uproot and manifest a sensibility of polarized extremes in consciousness and dogma. Adhering to a regimen founded upon rather scattered principles, the story begins with a budding dream sequence, following the wearer into an encapsulated and fragmented vision, each piece revolving around around a greater search–that which isolates the god complex within each and everyone of us.”

If you were paying attention a few months ago I posted the 2011 Spring/Summer Lookbook for Create Build Destroy Clothing called, Children of a Lesser God. I had to take it down because of the timing, but now I'm throwing it back up for good so everyone can check it out again. CBD is family to TKFV and we're very close to the people behind the project. So you know there's nothing but love coming from us every single time something new comes out. Most of our TKFV photo shoots even feature nothing but CBD clothing (Up top photo: Gray is wearing the Pencey Prep sweatshirt and I'm wearing the Isis Rising tee, though you can't see it under my jean jacket). So as you can probably guess, we're very excited for the 2011 Spring/Summer season to drop! Here's a look at what is to come:

David: Sarah Kjelleren Photo of the Week!

Sarah Kjelleren

Just when I thought I had made a decision on my favorite Sarah Kjelleren photo she comes out with this one to think about with the title, "Death By Riverside". Featured are models, Cat Darling and Domenick Pfau, both of which attend the same college as Sarah. One thing I'd like to point out about this photo is when I first took a look at it, it captured my emotions right away. Sarah's eye, vision, and addition of black and white really made this photo for me. This girl is amazing! Check it out below:

This photo above is the final version and TKFV is the first to hold this image on any website. Sarah's planning on entering this image in a college photography contest so we wish her luck on where this photo will end up! We have no doubt in our minds that this will go far. With talent comes success.

David: Sarah Kjelleren Photo of the Week!

It's been a long time since the last "Photo of the Week" post, but a lot has happened since then. Sarah Kjelleren, TKFV's favorite photographer, has just started her freshman year across the lake at SUNY Plattsburgh in New York. We've been wishing her well while she's been over there, but we're extremely happy to keep this post going once again.

Before I start I'd like to say that this weeks photo is probably one of my all time favorites taken by Sarah Kjelleren. The leaves from the tree, shown in the picture, outline Catherine Feliz (one of Sarah's friends at SUNY Plattsburgh) face in the photo perfectly. It looks almost as if the leaves make up her hair. The use of a film camera and focus on dark colors makes this picture amazing as well. Sarah has never failed to impress me, and I doubt she ever will, but this picture continues to prove how much talent this girl has.

David: Sarah Kjelleren Photo of the Week! (Wednesday)

Sarah Kjelleren & Myself

Hey, hi, hello. The "Photo of the Week" post didn't go anywhere... just went away for a little bit. So sorry for the recent absence, but it's back. This weeks photo is of Emy Geer, who I actually met the day this photo was taken. I remember Sarah was extremely excited for this one because it involved water, clothes, and the great addition of a beautiful girl. And once again Sarah did what she does best. I love the lighting and colors in this shot and the mysterious and heartbroken vibe shown. Great job once again. Check it out below:

David: Boogie x "The Uncovering" Exhibition

One of my favorite photographers, Boogie, has had a showing going on at the Carmichael Gallery in Los Angeles, California. He's known mostly for his black & white photography, but in this exhibition Boogie shows off an addition of color to his style. His fondness for street photography continues, documenting often overlooked aspects of everyday life, but is presented in a new way. Check it out below:

*Thanks to Hypebeast for the images

This weeks photo is of the gorgeous Haley Perkins. This photo shoot was done about a week ago on the same day Gray and myself checked in with Sarah Kjelleren to take a few photos (those will be up on here soon). I love the lighting in this photo and what's also great is how beautiful of a shot this is. A beautiful girl and beautiful Vermont. What could get any better than that? Check it out below:

The photo below is from the first summer shoot done by Ms. Kjelleren so far. It features the beautiful Steph Chang, who is also a classmate of mine. What I like about this photo is that Sarah captures the emotions portrayed on Steph's face, as well as letting off a calm feeling from the background behind her. Check it out below:

David: M.I.A. x Ryan McGinley Photographs for New York Times Magazine

M.I.A.

I actually saw these pictures in the New York Times magazine and read the article done about her a few days ago. I hadn't thought about doing a post about it till I saw the pictures online... so here I am writing it now. Above is one of the photos shot by Ryan McGinley that made it into the article on a two-day photo shoot through Manhattan and Brooklyn for New York Times magazine. Ryan McGinely simply captures M.I.A. at her finest; carefree, young, loose and passionate.

Along with this I had to post her recent music video, "Born Free", which has been surrounding her with so much hype.

This has been absent for a few weeks now since I've been gone in China, and like I said in the first China Trip post they block almost every website I use over there except google lol. So here we are back again with Sarah Kjelleren's next photo of the week. She sent this photo over to me from a little shoot she did in Maine with one of my classmates, Brittany Bullis. Check it out below! I swear this girl is a genius with the camera:

David: TKFV Photo Shoot x Sarah Kjelleren

So we spoiled a few photos on our Facebooks and the new picture at the top of the page, but for those who weren't keeping up with TKFV the past few days we had a photo shoot with Sarah Kjelleren on Friday, April 2nd. It was a long day, but we had a lot of fun. Nothing like a day with the very talented Ms. Kjelleren herself, a camera, and Two Kids From Vermont. Check some of the photos below:
