Eric Rose

I take photographs with love, so I try to make them art objects. But I make them for myself first and foremost - that is important. 
Jacques-Henri Lartigue

Eric Rose is a Portland-based photographer and mad genius. You can stalk him online at the same places I do, flickr and his personal site filmesque. He counts Paolo Roversi (weighty and introspective) and Henri Lartigue (sparkling and high-spirited) as heroes and somehow his work manages to incorporate both of those personalities. Here are some of his shots from last week featuring some Le Train Bleu styles: the Sophomore Black Twist Tank and the Heidi Merrick Traveling Dress. The other mad geniuses at work here? Despite her chameleon talents you probably recognize the amazing model Sarah Schroeder--she's been around these parts before. As has MUA and stylist Lindsey Avenetti.
