What are the ingredients of a fashion photograph? This question may be rarely asked, yet it’s an important one to think about. After all, is fashion photography really about the technicalities, or is it about content?You can argue that all fashion images are made of photons, and you would be absolutely right. In fact, every image is made of photons. However, if we zoom out from the basic micro level, we need to consider the content of fashion images. That content is what you see in the image, what the image makes you feel, and what experience the image creates.   Ingredient #1: Great Styling Fashion imagery is impossible without… fashion. Obvious, right? You need to understand the style and societal impact of the clothes you’re photographing. The style dictates what the image wil...

Larissa Barros, Jamia Maddrey, Joan Demeo – these women are just a few of the many victims of domestic violence each year. Their surviving loved ones spoke at the Love Life Now Foundation's annual Heel-A-Thon on June 4 in Brockton. Lovern Gordon, an Avon resident, is the group's founder and holds the issue of domestic violence close to her heart. "I am a two-time survivor of domestic violence," Gordon said. "My passion for helping survivors and victims comes from my own personal experience." A report from Respond Inc., a New England agency working against domestic violence, said: "One in four women, one in three teens and one in seven men nationwide will experience domestic violence in their lifetime." "For trans or gender non-conforming folks, this number jumps to 54 perce...

Elle Fanning was utterly elegant in Santa Monica, Calif., while attending American Cinemathique’s tribute to her career this weekend. On Friday, the “Girl from Plainville” star arrived at the organization’s Aero Theatre for a Q&A between screenings of two of her projects: an episode of the Hulu drama series “The Great” and the 2018 musical drama “Teen Spirit.” For the occasion, Fanning was sharply dressed in a gauzy black Khaite gown with long ballooned sleeves and a flowing skirt. Fanning’s ensemble was cinched with a studded leather belt and completed with delicate gold bracelets.“Thank you @am_cinematheque for this retrospective. A big word for a 24 year old but it means a whole lot!,” Kizik Shoes Fanning captioned a post from the occasion on Instagram. “Absolutely loved getting ...

First published October 1, 2019 By and large, I don’t wear shoes. I mostly walk barefoot to and from work. I go barefoot in the office. I go barefoot in other people’s offices, anytime I’m meeting with someone I know won’t care – with the honourable exception of meetings with honourable Members, when I wear Vibram FiveFingers. I go barefoot when popping out for lunch, or doing the grocery shopping, or going out to dinner – unless I’m dining with people I think will be embarrassed by it or the restaurant is a bit fancy. When I can, I run barefoot. (Though since the time I burned my soles, I no longer run barefoot on the pavement on sunny summer afternoons.) Most days in winter and, Wellington being Wellington, Hokas Shoes  quite often in the other seasons too, I get asked, “Aren’t you...

SAN FRANCISCO — All eyes were on Steph Curry’s feet in the hours prior to Game 4. Anyone watching his dazzling 43-point performance in the Warriors’ win might’ve forgotten his status was in limbo after a foot injury late in Game 3. Maybe a lucky pair of his signature shoes did some magic. Curry wore the same lavender Curry Brand Under Armor shoes for Game 4 that he wore for two key games in Game 3 and for the second half of Game 4 against the Memphis Grizzlies in the Western Conference semifinals. When he’s wearing those shoes, the Warriors are 3-0. With the Warriors trying to avoid losing both road games and falling into a 3-1 hole in a hostile TD Garden, it seemed the shoe choice could have been intentional. But Curry was surprised to hear he was undefeated in the purple sneaker...
