Photographer: Ami Sioux

I recently discovered Ami Sioux, photographer and musician, and I was instantly drawn to her work. Her photos almost demand your attention using contrasting values, lights and unusual angles to capture your focus.

This definitely one of my favourites of her photographs. I love the contrast between the white window and the dark room that frames the image but then how the window illuminates the man's face.

Ami Sioux grew up in California. Her parents were Jehovah Witness's so quite strict about her extra-curricular activities. At 15 Sioux became interested in photography and when she was 16, she left home and moved to New York. Inspired by youth culture in early 90s New York, Sioux did a series of portraits of her friends as they showed her their cure for hiccups.

After travelling around Europe for a few years, Ami Sioux settled down in Paris in 2003 and now commutes between there and Los Angeles. Since then her work has been featured in i-D Magazine, French Vogue, Dazed and Confused and several other publications.

Photography

This week I started a new art project at college a large part of it is about learning about photography. For the psst three days I've been taking loadssss of photos so I thought I'd share a few of them with you. They've mainly been taken from around my college and east London.

Frances Bean Cobain

Daughter of the late Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, Frances Bean Cobain's shoot with Hedi Slimane from 2011 is one of my favourite photography sets ever. I adore Hedi Slimane's work and Frances Cobain is such a beautiful muse. Taking the best features from ther parents, Cobain literally has the perfect genes.

Although Frances Cobain didn't spend much of her childhood in front of the cameras, in this alluring portrait she looks like she was born to be there.

'Art is the solution to chaos'

Cobain rocks jet black hair, tons of jewellery and intriguing tattoos. 

Nowadays, Cobain is a self proclaimed 'goth wino' and has also gone blonde, the hair colour of both her parents.

Still just as stunning, and look at how cute her kitten is!

Lots of love,
