I recently purchased a book - i know hold the phone, Kate reading of her own free will- well this book is no ordinary words books, no, it is a photographs book by Lauren Dukoff. Yes THE very woman who shot the cover of Adele's 21 album sleeve. This book is full of yummy images that exude beauty and the bohemian lifestyle; Family is a collection of photographs taken by the wonderfully talented Lauren Dukoff and placed inside this majestic looking book with over 150 photographs to muse over and over again!!
One of my favourite photographs from the book
Even the inside covering is vintage bohemian
Family is a window into the close knit 'family' of Lauren and her friends including Devendra Banhart - close friend and musician and her extended family which has grown through out the years and through her experiences behind the lens. The inspirations for this collection of images comes from Lauren and international family of artists who share and combine the passions for folk, Tropicalia, and of course each other. The album of beautifully unique photographs of portraits and candids include many faces such as Banhart, Bat For Lashes,Vashti Bunyan, Feathers amongst others. This book is an exciting treasure chest of an unseen world, it is like looking into the reflection of the water and going that little bit deeper.
After having another little wonder into this book it got me thinking what other images have I been inspired or have been memorable for me, well then I came across this little pic:
I did not know before I had a leaf through this book that this image was taken by Lauren Dukoff, i have had this pic on my computer for so long now I just though it was one of those photographs that was taken and just left on the Internet, y'know. If you take the time to have a look through this beautiful book you will not be disappointed one bit, I guarantee.
Peace x
