SEVENTY SEVEN LOVES ... JAMES MERRELL

Hmmmm ... for some reason, Seventy Seven Loves seems to have become a bit of a collection of our favourite photo sites of late. Once this latest one is out of the way, we'll find something else. Promise.

In the meantime, however, James Merrell is a man that I really want to find a good client-related reason to work with. His portraits are just lovely.

But the fact that he shoots interiors as well as people means that all of his portraits have a strong design aesthetic in their backdrops.

I've haven't seen other photographs that have such a strong aesthetics of their own, but which still enable the personality of their subjects to shine through.

Well-worth fifteen minutes of your browsing time ...

Oh ... and while I am writing, you might also like to check out Books Online. A French-based site that has various projects in "books" that you can have a quiet browse through for the princely sum of no pennies. How good is that?!
