Last Call

A Journey through Airports by Belgian photographer Harry Gruyaert

A pioneer of color photography in Europe during the 1970s and 1980s, Gruyaert helped transform the medium, shifting it from commercial use to a more emotive art form. His work showcases a blend of texture, light, color, and architecture, beautifully capturing the liminal spaces of airports and transient moments.

Gruyaert’s photographs possess a surprising calm, often exploring the play of light and shadow through windows and reflections. For him, airports become stages, with a cast of travelers moving through. Rather than focusing on narrative, Gruyaert delves into the emotive and abstract potential of color in these spaces.

Born in Antwerp, Belgium in 1941, Harry Gruyaert studied photography and cinema in Brussels before moving to Paris, where he worked as a freelance photographer and a director for Flemish television. He visited countries like India, the U.S., Japan, and Morocco. Joining Magnum Photos in 1982, Gruyaert initially faced skepticism for his use of color, but he eventually became a pivotal figure in Europe.

Anatomy Of A Scene

Lost In Translation is a movie that is set in Tokyo with the main character Bob, who is a middle-aged actor who is shooting commercials for the money, while Charlotte is a Philosophy grad who tagged along with her husband, who is a photographer in Japan. Both of them feel extremely isolated in an unfamiliar country and out of their element trying to operate in a wildly different culture. Without knowing how to understand the language, simple everyday tasks like walking around a city or going out to eat became daunting. One way that the movie depicts the feelings that Bob and Charlotte are feeling is by having the weather constantly gloomy and depressing, along with the weather; whenever they are inside, the rooms are dimly lit, which could cause the same effect as the weather. Both characters become isolated and distant from their significant others, causing them to feel alone in a sea of people. Because of this, Bob and Charlotte are drawn close together into a relationship that they both know is doomed to fail. This draws in the big question, would such an ill fated encounter be worth it?

The movie Casablanca is set in 1941, just before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. The town of Casablanca, Morocco, serves as a town where people try to seek refuge to America. The main character, Victor, finds himself in Casablanca as a fugitive resistance leader. I will be analyzing the scene where Ilsa confesses that she still loves Victor. The scene starts with Ilsa insulting Victor and almost immediately backtracking and apologizing, clearly in an extremely emotional state. Ilsa points a gun at Victor, trying to force him to hand over the letters, but. Victor refuses, even telling her to pull the trigger, but due to the love she feels towards him, she is unable to. The music being played in the scene perfectly portrays the mixed emotions of intensity, anger, and love. The lighting in the room also represents the mood that Ilsa is feeling, with light piercing through the room onto Victor and herself; this can indicate that Victor is her true love and that he stands out amongst other men.

"Casablanca," directed by Michael Curtiz and released in 1942, is a classic wartime romance set against the backdrop of World War II. The film stars Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine, a cynical American expatriate who runs a nightclub in Casablanca, Morocco. Ingrid Bergman plays Ilsa Lund, Rick's former lover who unexpectedly re-enters his life with her husband, Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), a Czech Resistance leader being pursued by the Nazis.

The film is paced meticulously, balancing tense wartime drama with moments of heartfelt romance and sharp dialogue. The scenes are constructed to build suspense and emotion, often using close-ups to capture the characters' internal conflicts. The technical aspects, such as the chiaroscuro lighting and fluid camera movements, contribute significantly to the overall dramatic effect, enhancing the film's atmosphere of intrigue and longing.

"Lost in Translation," directed by Sofia Coppola and released in 2003, is a poignant dramedy that explores themes of isolation and connection. The film stars Bill Murray as Bob Harris, a washed-up American actor in Tokyo to shoot a whiskey commercial, and Scarlett Johansson as Charlotte, a young woman accompanying her photographer husband. Both characters, feeling lost in their respective lives, form an unlikely bond over their shared sense of dislocation.

The pacing of "Lost in Translation" is deliberately slow, reflecting the characters' introspective journeys. The film uses long takes and minimal dialogue to emphasize their sense of alienation and the cultural dissonance they experience in Tokyo. The technical elements, including the soft lighting and carefully composed shots, contribute to the film's melancholic yet hopeful tone.

One particularly effective scene in "Lost in Translation" is when Bob and Charlotte spend the evening together in a karaoke bar. The scene is set up with wide shots that capture the vibrant and somewhat surreal atmosphere of the bar, contrasted with the intimate close-ups of Bob and Charlotte singing and interacting.

The sequence is edited with a mix of longer takes and quick cuts, emphasizing both the carefree moments and the underlying emotional connection between the characters. The lighting in the bar is colorful and dynamic, mirroring the characters' fleeting escape from their isolation. The direction by Coppola ensures that the acting feels natural and unforced, with Murray and Johansson delivering subtle yet powerful performances that convey a range of emotions.

This scene, though comedic in nature with the karaoke antics, carries a deeper dramatic weight as it underscores the burgeoning friendship and unspoken understanding between Bob and Charlotte. The ambience of the karaoke bar, with its lively yet transient energy, contributes to the overall effect by highlighting the ephemeral nature of their bond.

In the broader context of the movie, this scene is crucial as it encapsulates the central theme of finding connection in a disconnected world. The lighting, set design, and acting all come together to create a moment that is both visually and emotionally impactful, resonating with the audience and deepening their understanding of the characters' inner lives.

Both "Casablanca" and "Lost in Translation" are exemplary films that use their technical and narrative elements to create profound emotional experiences. While "Casablanca" employs dramatic lighting and suspenseful pacing to tell a story of love and sacrifice, "Lost in Translation" uses introspective pacing and subtle performances to explore themes of isolation and connection. Analyzing scenes from these films reveals how technical details such as lighting, editing, and shot composition can enhance the overall effect and meaning, making these movies timeless pieces of cinema.

Amanda Charchian

Amanda Charchian (b.Los Angeles) creates work with a feminine sensuality that is simultaneously epic and intimate. Amanda earned a BFA from Otis College of Art and Design in 2010 with a focus on painting and sculpture. Her current practice is focused exclusively on photography.

An exhibition of 2015’s “Pheromone Hotbox” at Stephen Kasher Gallery in NYC evolved into the artist’s first fine art monograph on Hat&Beard Press/Dilettante Paper with the same name. Comprised of images shot between 2012-2015, the book features 27 female artists nude in dramatic locations across the globe, including in Iceland, France, Costa Rica, Morocco, Israel, and Cuba.

In 2018 she exhibited a new body of work at Fahey/Klein Gallery entitled "7 Types of Love" which presents mediations on the seven categories of love as described by Canadian psychologist John Allen Lee based on Greek ideas. Her photographs create visual narratives on romantic, spiritual and dutiful love through a feminine lens.

Charchian’s most recent works entitled MONO, exhibited with Huxley-Parlour gallery at Photo London 2018, combines her background in painting with contemporary nude studies in black and white. A second monograph and solo exhibition will present these works in 2022.

She is represented by Fahey/Klein Gallery in Los Angeles.

Commercial Clients include: Gucci, Bulgari, Chloe, Lancaster, Cartier, Porsche, Versace, Balmain, Nordstrom, Glossier, Sony Music, Vivienne Westwood, Atlantic and Universal Records. Publications include: Vogue UK, Vogue Italia, Garage, i-D, Purple, Numero, and So It Goes.

Amanda lives and works between Los Angeles and Paris.

In the contemporary art world, the cultural perspective of the male gaze is consistently challenged in many different and interesting ways. Los Angeles-based photographer Amanda Charchian is an artist doing just that—her new series, titled ‘Mono’, is part of a new collection that celebrates the female gaze: art created by women, for women. 

Charchian’s ‘Mono’ is part of Huxley-Parlour’s ‘The Female Lens: 9 Contemporary Female Photographers’ at the Photo London 2018 art fair. The body of work explores Charchian’s relationship to female intimacy through the use of multiple art forms, shadows, and color. 

Working within the established trope of nude photography, Charchian creates almost surrealist images that confront the concept of the gaze, whilst informing our sense of abstraction through her use of geometric shapes. Cast against architectural spaces, Charchian’s black and white images are then painted on in primary colors, a technique that is attributed to her artistic inspiration, conceptual artist John Baldessari. “For me, color, texture and form are always the essential elements in art,” Charchian recently told AnOther Magazine. “How do you make something graphic feel sensual? I think everything I’ve ever made has been about intimacy”.

hi!! i looked in your fic rec MP and i didn't see it, so i thought I'd ask. i read In Vogue recently and LOVED it and then I've been binging project runway episodes (bc why not) and now I'm craving good fashion fics. maybe even a project runway one. have you read any good ones? and could you maybe rec some?

Hi sweetheart. Ohhh, I love that fic. And yes, I’ve got a few that have to do with fashion.

In Vogue by otpwhatever / @thecelineharry (M, 121K) This one is just….so much. The intensity of the characters, the crazy hot smut (oh god, the window scene), the FASHION, the angst (I had to take a walk around the block after reading it), the epic love story between two men who could rule the world if they could just figure their shit out. The fic has been deleted, but the link is to a download.

These Constant Stars by stylinsoncity (M, 31K) This author has written so many great fics and this one is really lovely. I also always like when one of the boys is not what he seems to be on first glance. There’s also a second part, told from Harry’s POV.

Three French Hems by 100percentsassy, gloria_andrews (M, 20K) the characterizations and set up for this fic are sharp and funny, making this a really fun read. Plus there’s a lot of talk of Louis worshipping Harry’s thighs. LOL!

Fading by tothemoonmydear (M, 202K) Let me start by asking you to please read the tags on this one. It’s a very well-written fic, but it deals very graphically with Louis’ character’s eating disorder. At the time it was written some people felt it did not portray ED recovery accurately, so if the subject is at all triggering for you, please don’t read this one. Of that’s not an issue for you, make sure you have tissues ready because I ugly cried through almost all of this. I read it years ago and loved it at the time, but it’s not one I could handle reading twice.

sweet, where you lay by @infinitelymint (E, 27K) I read this ages ago and my notes only say that it was “sweet and sexy”, which is not terribly helpful. But this author is a good one, in general, so I feel safe including it here.

The rest of these were suggested by @cuethetommo who generally likes the same sort of fics I do. I either haven’t read these, or don’t remember enough about them to have an opinion! 😆 But I trust her.

Put It All On Me by LoadedGunn (M, 15K)

"Yeah, yeah, give it to me, that's it, spread your legs a bit, there you go."

The camera follows Louis as he does. Maybe if the modelling thing doesn't work out, he could try the porn industry. Then again, he's a bit too stocky to be twinky and a bit too twinky to be anything else. He likes that about himself, though. Well, directors and photographers like that about him. He could pull off pretty and edgy, could do GQ in the morning and a perfume commercial in the afternoon. Right now he thinks he could pull off anything, because it's Harry fucking Styles directing him.

Or, a Top Model AU where Louis is accidentally there to make friends, not become Britain's Next Top Model. (Also Zayn is the supermodel host.)

you pull me in by yoursongonmyheart (NR, 7K)

“Did you really wear silk jammies to meet him?” Fizzy is almost in tears.

He’s going to kill them.

He’s really going to kill them.

Ernie throws his backpack on the floor before telling Fizzy, quite loudly, “Mr. Styles looked at Achoo like this” and making an exaggerated jaw dropped face.

“That is not what happened!” Louis protests.

“And Achoo looked at Mr. Styles like that, too!” Doris pulls the same face before laughing.

------

//or the one where Louis is a model, Harry teaches Doris and Ernie at primary and now might be a good time to fall in love.

This Road Leads Where Your Heart Is by LittleLostPieces (E, 15K)

Alright, so Louis has a bit of a type is the thing. And as fit as his supermodel flatmate (Harry) may be, he isn't what Louis is looking for in a potential partner. That’s all. He’s not Louis’ type, with his miles of lanky limbs and his bright, boyish eyes. His impossibly tight, little body and infectious laughter are not what Louis wants. They're not. Really.

swimming in a champagne sea by delsicle (E, 17K)

Louis is a supermodel. Harry is a celebrity photographer known for capturing the brightest up and comers in their most candid moments. They meet at London’s most exclusive New Year’s Eve party.

An alpha/alpha fic filled with confusion, banter, Ubers, and glitter

Life at Shutter Speed by zarah5 (E, 20K)

AU. Having landed a job modelling for an outdoor clothing catalogue, Harry certainly wouldn’t mind doing some extracurricular work for photographer Louis Tomlinson. Say, a private photo session? Yes, please? Good thing that Harry has ten days and three beautiful locations -- Morocco, Indonesia and the Swiss Alps -- to make Louis see just how good they could be.

Special Topping by LoadedGunn (E, 20K)

'Who would even want so many pizzas so late at night?' Harry wonders before the door opens.

Oh. Apparently short guys with shaggy brown hair and a scruff and bright blue eyes and heart-stopping smiles. That's who.

Harry's not even ashamed of how he nearly drops all the pizzas. This guy is gorgeous and Harry hasn't noticed anyone like that in ages, let alone provided services to them. If he opened his mouth right now the only thing that would come out is, "By special topping did you mean my dick?"

Or, the AU where Harry delivers pizza and Louis really just wants Tim Gunn to spank him.

everywhere (i want to be with you) by itiswhatisbutterfly (E, 42K)

Harry and Louis meet because they have terrible friends, they fall in love because something feels right in a world of uncertainty and shifting grounds. Louis is an actor and Harry is a model at the top of his game, the best things in life are the most unexpected ones and the things that hit you when you are least expecting it.

Featuring winter in London, nights in Paris, early mornings in New York, burning heat in Monte Carlo and an enduring love spent transcending four corners of the globe.

Young Gods by sincewewereeighteen (E, 77K)

“Why don’t you stay?” Harry looked down at him and snorted. “What?”

“You’re not my type, Louis”, the boy rolled his eyes sitting on the edge of the bed to put on his boots.

“Says the man you just had sex with”, Louis pointed feeling smart, but Harry was one step ahead of him, with the answer on the tip of his tongue.

“You see, if you were my type, I wouldn’t have”, Harry winked, cheeky as hell. “I would’ve gotten to know you first.”

“Bullshit”, he accused the boy not letting it show how intrigued he was. “How can you know I’m not your type if you don’t know me?”

“How about I list five things about you to prove I’m right and if any of them are false I’ll lie down again.”

“Ok. Go.”

[Or: the one in which Louis is a model and Harry's supposed to be a normal guy... Until he isn't.]

Architecture Brief - Task 1 (Pre-production: Inspiration)

Ferdinando Scianna often included buildings and stairs in his work, he wasn’t massively known for colour work but I love the colours in this interior shot of a spiral staircase in the Vatican museums. I enjoy that there’s a single person walking up these stairs, it makes them seem so much larger.

I love this Rene Burri shot of the national congress building in Brazil, I really like how the person walking through the frame gives the buildings a much grander scale as two massive looming figures. There’s an interaction at play here.

The next two images are by commercial architecture photographer Theo Tzia, they are both interior shots of two very different spaces. I like how they both show the space in the best possible way, despite being so different in size. Theo manages to photograph buildings and spaces that really showcase the architects vision.

This is architecture from more of a fine art viewpoint and I really like it. It took me a while to realise the person in the image is lying down with their bag next to them, I think this is a walkway connecting two buildings. I just find this image very appealing.

Another image by Rene Burri that shows an apartment building made in the 1930′s in Paris, almost brutalist looking and very harsh.

While the building in this Trente Parke image is the background detail I still believe it’s a massive part of this photograph and what I love most about it is the light falling on it. For me, it really highlights the shape of this building and draws me straight to it.

 I really like Lorenzo Meloni’s shot of this housing estate in Paris, the way the light is falling on it, the fact it shows the buildings wrap around curve too. I find myself drawn to a lot of “urban” housing buildings, things like the Glasgow tenements of the 1960′s.

Iwan Baan’s photo’s of the Harbin opera house really give you a sense of scale and really capture the architects vision for this space.

This is a University building in Morocco, photographed by Doublespace Photography. At first glance, you would be forgiven for thinking this was a modern art museum building. The time of day, angles and lack of people really give this image it’s power. This, to me was the best way to show how incredible this building is, waiting for the right moment really paid off.

A 20-Year Legacy of Support for French Artists

A show at the Pompidou Center highlights the work of Kapwani Kiwanga, winner of the Marcel Duchamp Prize, and those who won before her.

PARIS — The conceptual artist Kapwani Kiwanga, whose latest exhibition here recreates elaborate floral arrangements from archival photographs to capture a moment in time, was awarded the Prix Marcel Duchamp on Monday in a celebration that also marked the 20th anniversary of the prize.

The award, viewed as France’s answer to Britain’s Turner Prize, is named after one of France’s most influential 20th-century artists and is given to an artist born or working in France. Ms. Kiwanga, a native of Canada, works in Paris.

The winner was announced by Bernard Blistène, director of the Musée National d’Art Moderne at the Pompidou Center.

“At a time of rising nationalism around the world, it is important to emphasize that this is not a ‘nationalistic’ prize, but the recognition of an international artist who is part of the French art scene,” said Mr. Blistène, who also presides over the seven-person jury. Members include Gitte Orskou, director of the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and Marie-Cécile Zinsou, president of the Zinsou Foundation in Benin, in West Africa.

The award ceremony at the museum went ahead despite the pandemic that forced the cancellation of the annual International Contemporary Art Fair, or FIAC. The fair, which would have opened on Thursday, is usually the focal point of a buoyant week of art-filled events in the French capital. This year, the ceremony was held against a background of global travel restrictions compounded by a local nighttime curfew in place in Paris.

“It isn’t because we are going through a terrible period that this public institution should not stand for hope for the future,” Mr. Blistène said.

With the prize Ms. Kiwanga was awarded 35,000 euros (about $41,000). The other nominees were Alice Anderson, Hicham Berrada and Enrique Ramírez, selected by a committee of the Association for the International Diffusion of French Art, a group of about 400 art collectors that created the prize.

The appropriation of history is the subject of “Flowers for Africa,” a series of installations by Ms. Kiwanga that consist of elaborately arranged fresh flowers, suspended as a garland from the ceiling or set in bouquets on pedestals. Each is a “reconstruction” of a floral arrangement the artist has gleaned from an archival photograph of an official ceremony marking the independence of an African country.

“The flowers wilt and dry over time and must be replaced according to a protocol,” said Ms. Kiwanga, who is 42. “They capture a moment in history.”

Sophie Duplaix, the chief curator at the Pompidou Center, where works by the nominees will be displayed through early January, said that “all four artists have touched on the notion of time and its impact on the individual and society.”

“That common thread helped us bring harmony to a show that we hope will resonate with the public, especially in a period when we are all reconsidering our own relationship with time,” she said.

In “Flowers for Africa,” Ms. Kiwanga examines that connection by confronting history and botany. History is retold through the life cycle of flowers left to wilt for the duration of the exhibition. Her reconstruction of ceremonial bouquets underscores the shortcomings of capturing history.

“The project was born out of my own frustration at looking at images that seemed always to depict political leaders present at independence ceremonies,” she said. “I wanted to look beyond those central figures and focus on the flower arrangements, which were witnesses on the sidelines of those historical events.”

After studying anthropology and comparative religion at McGill University in Montreal, Ms. Kiwanga attended the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

This year is also the 20th anniversary of the Duchamp prize, and to mark this milestone, a six-month exhibition at the museum honors previous winners.

“I believe in French art for its spirit, its elegance and its joie de vivre,” said Gilles Fuchs, a collector and president of the association.

“This prize recognizes an artist whose innovative practice is representative of a generation and reflects the creativity of the French art scene,” he added. “The 20th-anniversary show is evidence of our continued support of the artists.”

Mr. Blistène said the award “is not driven by ‘market’ interests.” He added that the association collectors “are not motivated by commercial interests nor by mundane or ‘domestic’ considerations like whether they can hang the art in their living rooms.” Among the other nominees, Mr. Berrada’s artistic practice sits at the junction of science and nature. His installation, “Présage, SiO2,” is a 12-minute video showing the reaction that occurs when he pours silicon dioxide, a component used in making concrete, to activate a controlled chemical reaction in a glass tank filled with a mixture of acid and water. A mesmerizing landscape of moving shapes is captured in the video, projected onto a large screen. Mr. Berrada, 34, a native of Morocco, lives and works in Paris and Roubaix, in northern France.

The French-born Alice Anderson, 47, reflects on memory in a presentation made up of drawings, dance movements and totemic sculptures constructed from “recorded” everyday objects — like a computer mouse or a mobile phone — wrapped in copper thread, that connect man to technology.

“Technology is driving a change of civilization,” Ms. Anderson said. “These objects are mummified to be preserved.”

On a wall in the space dedicated to Mr. Ramírez, 41, a Chilean multimedia artist who lives and works in Paris and Santiago, are the words: “The future always repeats itself inseparable from the past.” The sentiment ties together several pieces that touch on issues of migration and history.

At the center, a video depicts a man entangled in the twisted fabric of a sail floating in the sea, in what could be interpreted as either a slow struggle for survival or a metaphor for a return to the fetal state inside a womb.

“The sea and the sail evoke both freedom and failure,” Mr. Ramírez said. “My work is less about politics and more about poetry.”

Mr. Fuchs said the ADIAF (it is referred to with its French abbreviation) was founded in 1994 to promote the nation’s art. At the time, French artists were at a low point, their work was being purchased only by the state, and there were few private French art collections.

“Matisse had not been dead very long, yet the French art scene was completed discredited to the point that some even referred to Marcel Duchamp as an American painter,” Mr. Fuchs said.

“But thanks to the support of the Centre Pompidou from Day 1 and our own efforts, this prize has gained the prestige it has today,” he said.

The prize is less a launchpad for young artists than a spotlight on a body of work by more established names like Kader Attia, the 2016 winner, who went on to receive both the Joan Miró Prize and the Yanghyun Prize the next year. For many past winners, the prize has been a genuine boost to their careers, particularly thanks to the three-month show at the Pompidou.

“All prizes and encouragements are welcome in the life of an artist,” Thomas Hirschhorn, a Swiss artist who was awarded the first prize, wrote in a statement to the French press ahead of this year’s announcement.

“As an artist, I need my work to be shown, talked about and critiqued,” he wrote. “What is concrete about this prize and what really mattered to me were the prize money, the funding I received from ADIAF for a new piece, and my show at the Centre Pompidou.”

Laurent Grasso, a French multimedia artist who won in 2008, noted the attention the prize brought him. “Some 45,000 visitors came to my show at the museum,” he said. “This prize generates a lot of positive energy around the work of an artist.”

Upstairs, in the main galleries of the museum, works by all 19 past winners are displayed among pieces from the museum’s permanent collections.

“The dialogue with our historical pieces shows how more recent works fit into an ongoing artistic tradition,” said Nicolas Liucci-Goutnikov, the curator of the show.

“Some people consider contemporary artists to be engaged in a perpetual reinvention of art,” Mr. Liucci-Goutnikov said. “But this show demonstrates that art is a heritage being constantly renewed.”

Stones of India

In 2020 India possesses a wide range of natural stones that include granite, marble, sandstone, limestone, slate, and quartzite, spread out all over India. India has the best quality Natural stone amongst and we are the largest producer of raw stone material and the sectors are quite developed and vibrant in the South, as well as in Rajasthan and Gujarat, with a dedicated resource of entrepreneurs. India also has an indigenous resource of machinery and tool manufacturers that cater well to the demands of this sector.

The Indian stone industry has evolved into the production and manufacturing of blocks, flooring slabs, structural slabs, calibrated – ready to fix tiles, monuments, tombstones, sculptures, artifacts, cobbles, cubes, curbs, pebbles, and landscape garden stones.

Tradition of stones

India’s history, dating back to 3200 BC has been influenced considerably by the disposition, development, and use of stones and other construction materials. Dimension stones have also left deep imprints on the architectural heritage of the country. Innumerable temples, forts, and palaces of Ancient Indian Civilization have been carved out of locally available stones. The Taj Mahal at Agra was constructed from Indian marble. Some of the rock-cut structures include Khajuraho Temple, Elephanta Caves, and Konark Temple. Besides, all major archaeological excavations have revealed exquisitely carved statuettes and carvings in stone. Ancient Buddhist monuments like the Sanchi Stupa of 3rd century BC have also been carved out of stone.

This tradition of Stone Architecture has continued to the present era, with most of the important modern buildings in India like the Presidential House, Parliament House, and Supreme Court made from high-quality sandstone of Rajasthan. The Baha’i House of Worship of New Delhi stands testimony to the relevance of marble in modern Indian architecture.

Stones are still the mainstays of civil construction in India, with stones being used extensively in public buildings, hotels, and temples. It is increasingly being used in homes, with the use of stones now penetrating amongst the growing middle class of India. The success of the commercial stone industry solely depends upon defects in rock/stone. Natural defects in ornamental/commercial rock deposits adversely affect the quality of rock deposits. Detection of natural defects in the decorative and dimensional stone industry plays a vital role in the quality assessment.

India is a pioneer in the exploration, mining of commercial rock deposits, and in establishing a firm base for the stone industry. India, with an estimated resource of about 1,690 million cum, comprising over 160 shades of Dimension Stone Granite, accounts for about 205 of the world resources. Of the 300 varieties being traded in the world market, nearly half of them are from India. Commercially viable granite and other rock deposits are reported from Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and others.

Marvelous Marble

Marble was used for building tombs, temples, and palaces. For a long[weasel words] time it was considered as Royal Stone. It is, however, now used in hotels and homes too. There are many varieties.

Makrana

Makrana is the source of the marble used in the Taj Mahal. It is situated at a distance of 60 km from Kishangarh and falls in the Nagaur district of Rajasthan. The region has various mining ranges, mainly Doongri, Devi, Ulodi, Saabwali, Gulabi, Kumari, Neharkhan, Matabhar, Matabhar kumari, Chuck doongri, Chosira and Pahar Kua amongst others.

Rajnagar Marble

World’s largest marble-producing area, with over 2,000 gangs saw units located in the nearby town of Udaipur to process the material produced. Agaria is the best variety of this area, with numerous other varieties and patterns, primarily in white base. The marble is dolomitic and often has quartz intrusions.

Andhi Marble

Located near the capital city of the state of Jaipur (also known as the ‘Pink City’), it is dolomitic marble with intrusions of tremolite and is commonly known by the name of pista (pistachio) marble, because of the green-colored tremolite against an off-white background. One of the famous varieties of this area was known as Indo-Italian, owing to its resemblance with Statuario Marble. Most of the mining of this famous field is now banned by the Supreme Court of India because of the vicinity of the area to the Sariska Tiger Reserve.

Slumber Marble

Also known as Onyx Marble, it has thick bands of green and pink hint. A resemblance to Onyx Marble from Pakistan gives it this name. This is also highly diplomatic.

Yellow Marble

Though it has not been metamorphosed and hence is still a limestone, it is known as Yellow Marble in trade circles. It is mined in the Jaisalmer District.

Bidasar

These are ultra basic rocks in shades of brown and green color found in Rajasthan. The criss-cross linear pattern gave it a remarkable resemblance to a photograph of dense forest. These are also known as forest green/brown or fancy green/brown.

Morwad Kishangarh Marble

Gujarat – Amba Ji White Marble: It is one of the finest marble produced in India. It can be easily compared with Makrana Marble. It is highly calcic and is produced in a town called Ambaji (famous for its temple of Durga Devi). The marble has a very soft and waxy look and is often used by sculptors.

Rajasthan – Abu Black: This is one of the rare Black textured marble available. Only produced in the mines of Abu road, this amazing Black textured stone is the finest decorative marble ideal for homemakers, temples, sculptures, and corporate houses.

Madhya Pradesh – Katni Range: It is famous for its beige colored marble which is dolomitic but highly crystalline, with very fine grain size and some quartz intrusions. The marble accepts excellent polish. Another variety of the same range is red/maroon-colored marble.

‘Jabalpur range‘ contains dolomitic marble of excellent whiteness. It is more often used as dolomite lumps for chemical and industrial uses.

Indian Green Marble: It is found in Rajasthan India, Indian Green Marble’s most quarries are situated in Kesariyaji it is 60 KM far from Udaipur Rajasthan India. This Indian green marble is famous is many names all over the world. In Europe, people have known Indian green marble as Verde Guatemala.many kinds of varieties available in Indian green marble. Indian Green Marble is Exporting in Africa, Europe, Australia, Middle East, and many Asian countries. It is found in Udaipur District state Rajasthan of India.

Gorgeous Collection Granite

India has varieties of granite in over 200 shades. As of 2005, Granite reserves in India were 37,426 million cubic meters and ranked fifth in export of the processed product. Resources are found in Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Rajasthan, and Andhra Pradesh.

Classic Sandstone

Sandstone reserves in India are found over the states of Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Karnataka, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal. Over 90% of the deposits of sandstone are in Rajasthan, spread over the districts of Bharatpur, Dholpur, Kota, Jodhpur, Sawai-Madhopur, Bundi, Chittorgarh, Bikaner, Jhalawar, Pali, Shivpuri, Khatu and Jaisalmer.

India is among the leading countries when it comes to mining and export of sandstone. The best part with Sandstone from India is that it is available in different colors and considered best for interior as well as exterior use. Few most popular sandstone products from India include names like Tint Mint, White Mint, Mint Fossils, Modak, Agra Red, Rainbow Sandstone, Raj Green, Teak, Buff Brown, Dhoplur Chocolate, Beige, Dholpur Pink, Lalitpur Pink, Mandana Red, Jodhpur pink, Jodhpur red, Jaisalmer yellow, etc.

This sandstone is available in some finishes and comes with great strength. However, Sandstone like Rainbow is only available in layered form and so is not suitable when the good thickness is required and Jodhpur sandstone is best when used in front elevation and high comprehensive strength. To illustrate it clearly, you can’t have cobbles out of Rainbow sandstone in particular as it is usually available in the slabs form.

An HYH Exclusive Interview with Dominic Mainl

[Over the last six seasons, Dominic Mainl has worked in the camera department on Homeland, working to get the shots you see in each episode onto your screens. For our “On the Record with…” series, Dom graciously answered our questions about what the Homeland experience has been like, including how he got started, what it’s like to work with cast and crew, and his most vivid memories. Thank you Dom for answering our questions! –the HYH team]

Hell Yeah Homeland: Your first Homeland episode was “Tin Man Is Down” in season three. How did the German guy become a part of the production?

Dom Mainl: Haha, pure luck? In 1998 I moved from tiny Bad Dürrheim, Germany, to Los Angeles because I wanted to work in Hollywood. I was already in the film industry in Germany and wanted to work with the best of the best and that meant moving to Los Angeles. It took a few years and a lot of hard work to “break into Hollywood” and yet another few years and even harder work to become established, but in the end it all worked out. I worked on the HBO show True Blood and met David Klein, ASC there. I really enjoy working with him and over the years we have become a good team, business partners and most importantly, very good friends. One day my phone rings and Dave said, “Hey man, I’m taking over as the Director of Photography on Homeland. Are you interested? I would love to have you on the crew” …. and I had no idea what Homeland even was! I had never heard of it! I said yes anyway because I love working with Dave and looked up the show online. So on my way out to Charlotte (where we shot season three) I started watching the first season and really, really liked it. So I was hyped about being part of the project after becoming part of the project. 

HYH: What do you remember from your first day at set? 

DM: Every project, whether it’s film, tv or commercials, I have butterflies in my stomach the night before day one. David Klein says, “if you’re not nervous before day one you are phoning it in,” and he’s right. We love what we do and there are so many things that can go wrong, so even after 20+ years I still get nervous. The first day on Homeland was really easy though because all the actors are sooo unbelievably nice. As a focus puller I am quite immersed in all technical things to make sure nothing goes wrong (especially on day one!), so Homeland was no different from other shows in that respect.

HYH: We know you can’t talk about season eight yet, but looking back at previous seasons, what scenes still stick with you? Why?

DM: This is going to explain a lot about why I love working with Dave Klein: there’s a shot in season three when Brody is brought back to the US and it's the first time Carrie and Brody meet since he was shipped off to Caracas. He’s laying on the bed and the camera is right in his face. Carrie steps into the background and has an emotional monologue directed at the sleeping Brody. Remember that? 

So, my job as a focus puller is to adjust focus during the shot. And I felt strongly about keeping Damian sharp in the foreground although the #1 star of the show just entered our shot and she was the only person talking! General rule of thumb for focus pullers: make sure the person talking is sharp. If a lot of people talk, make sure the star of the show is sharp... So here I was, new to the show, and breaking all the rules at once. But, to me, it felt so damn powerful to stay on Brody’s face to see his reaction as he slowly wakes to Carrie’s words, until he opens his eyes and (eventually) turns around. So I discussed this with Dave and he brought this idea up with director Lesli Linka Glatter and the producer/creator Alex Gansa and we ended up shooting two versions of this scene, one with the focus shifting to Carrie as she enters the frame and one that stayed with Brody. To Dave's credit he fought for my idea and in the end they used my version. That shows you how amazing it is to work with Dave Klein--you’re truly a part of the team.

HYH: Thinking of some iconic Homeland scenes (pretty much all the scenes which left us heartbroken)--like Brody‘s death scene, Quinn driving into a lethal hail of bullets--how much time did you have to prepare these scenes? How do you in the camera and photography department plan for these scenes? How many times do you shoot them before you got the material we see in the final and aired cut?

DM: Brody’s death was rather emotional for the crew as well because that was the very last shooting day of the season. We were shooting all night in Morocco and we had to bid Damian adieu after we wrapped. It was almost the same with Quinn, although we had a few days of shooting left after we killed off Rupert’s character… But Rupert served the crew champagne after the day ended, still bloodied from the scene, which was very sweet…. plus the bubbly was rather good so I didn’t mind killing him off, haha. As far as preparation for these scenes go, it's the same as for any other shot--for me, anyways. I prepare the gear the same way I would for any other scene as reliability is key. The most important part is that the equipment is functioning flawlessly because, in the end, if the camera doesn’t record what’s in front of it… why are we there?

HYH: Homeland’s main cinematographer is David Klein, and you two have worked together on many episodes over the years. Can you describe the working relationship between the two of you? 

DM: I was asked the same questions a few years ago and I have the same answer: it’s a privilege to work with David Klein because you get to work with him and not just for him. There is a fundamental difference. Of course, he’s the boss and all departmental decisions are his to make but he actively involves the camera operators and the focus pullers in the process and that’s what makes it so much fun! Sure, it really does take a while to establish such a good rapport and a working relationship like ours, because it is 100% built on trust. The example I mentioned [earlier] shows that we have each other’s back and that’s when you can get really creative…

HYH: Speaking of the art of cinematography and photography, how would you describe Homeland’s visual/photographic DNA?

DM: That’s a question for David Klein, haha. Of course I have my 2 cents but that’s not for me to answer…

HYH: What's your secret about taking the perfect shot?

DM: Generally speaking, preparation. Hard work beats talent unless talent works hard. The perfect shot is when all the elements come together in synchronized harmony. Think of it as choreography - the actors, the frame, focus and camera platform (hand-held, dolly or Steadicam, etc.)… everything that moves, everything needs to be perfectly in sync to achieve what the director or the DP had in mind and there is a lot that can go wrong. But when it all goes right, it seems effortless. What’s my secret? Easy: Don’t fuck it up. Don’t be the one element that blows the shot.

HYH: You’ve traveled with the Homeland production all over the world -- to South Africa, Germany, Morocco, and several locations in the US. Which trip did you enjoy the most and which one was the hardest work? Why?

DM: I really enjoyed Morocco. And I really disliked Morocco. For clarification, I met my wife in Morocco while shooting the finale for season three there and I will always have fond memories of that time. And I disliked season eight in Morocco, because even though my wife had become a member of the crew by then (she is the script supervisor for season eight), shooting there the second time around was unnecessarily complicated and frustrating for reasons I will not go into detail at this point…. but it really wasn’t much fun.

We loved South Africa a lot, too. That was probably one of my favorite seasons. Not necessarily the scripts but the location.

HYH: Compared to other jobs you did before, what’s different about working on Homeland?

DM: After 7 years (well, on and off) of True Blood I was happy I didn’t have to work with vampires and at night anymore. The spy game turned out to be fun and intriguing but you pay the price for getting to see the world. The biggest challenge was the constant shifts in location. One, because we ship a lot of camera gear around the world which adds a ton of work and stress (carnets, inventory, maintenance, etc.). Two, it’s really hard to find and keep a good crew around and given we were on the road for six years we had to start over almost everywhere we went and train the team to the workflow that Dave and I have had established. I admit, I am quite demanding and finding a crew that could do the job to my expectations in all those locations was not easy. But we ended up making some life-long friends… and probably a handful of enemies too, haha.

HYH: From what we were able to follow on social media, we got the impression that filming season eight has been a long and tough journey, much harder than previous seasons. Is there anything you can share about the reasons why?

DM: Well, if you go into Africa expecting you can shoot an American TV schedule with an international crew within the same time frame and on the same budget... you have to be crazy! But there isn't just one party to blame for the exhausting Moroccan portion of season eight but rather a combination of unfortunate misunderstandings paired with inexperience and a healthy dose of negligence. As they say, “everything that could go wrong, did.”

HYH: Was there ever a scene for which you had just one take to get it right? Which one?

DM: Let’s just say there is going to be an explosion in season eight and we only had one try at it. And we nailed it.

HYH: For the tech nerds among us, what's your favorite camera and objective and which scene you shot with it comes to your mind?

DM: Hands down, the ARRI Alexa Mini. Homeland is a predominantly handheld show in order to keep the tensions high while (subconsciously) keeping the audience always on the edge of [their] seat. If the cameras are handheld the image constantly moves. You can even see/feel the breathing of the camera operators. The Alexa Mini is lightweight yet robust and the sensor is the best money can buy. We used ARRI Master Primes for added sharpness for seasons five, six, seven, and eight, but sprinkled in a few Zeiss Supreme Primes this year to take off a little bit of weight. We also like to use Canon Cinema Zooms for their high quality.

HYH: Butter bei die Fische (Now’s the time for straight talk), why is Homeland still filmed in HD?

DM: Because Showtime wants it that way. I would’ve loved to shoot 4K or with a different aspect ratio or utilize a different sensor size but the people at the helm want to keep it “the way it was.”

HYH: Homeland’s eighth and final season is wrapping up and now airing. How does it feel that the show is coming to an end soon?

DM: It’s bittersweet. I have had some of the best and some of the worst moments of my career on the set of Homeland and I know I will miss it down the road but right now I’m happy that Carrie finally gets to…. Never mind, can’t tell you that, haha. I know I’ll miss it but we’re just exhausted right now.

HYH: What other projects are you working on after Homeland? Any plans yet?

DM: Vacation. No more jobs in 2019 and hopefully a good movie with a good script in 2020. I think after six years of spy TV I want to take a break from the small screen, if possible.

[stylinsonlibrary]

FASHION AU FIC REC: fics where Louis, Harry, or both are involved in the fashion industry in some capacity.

Just For Me (9k) Harry is a supermodel with a fake boyfriend. Louis is the captain and star forward of Manchester United with a fake girlfriend. They should have no problem having a completely platonic lunch between friends.

(They do.)

i'm stuck to your shoe, let's run (9k) Louis hates his job and Harry really lives up to his last name. (or, Louis sells men’s shoes, Harry is a rather famous fashion blogger, and they’re brought together by a gaudy pair of boots.)

Just Walk My Way (10k) Louis is a Victoria's Secret Angel, and Harry is the main act of the night.

Paper Houses (11k) “Who is that?” He hisses.

Zayn holds up a hand to stop Louis from speaking any further.

The voice on the other end of the phone continues. “Then, he saw a photo of him on Insta with his little sister and brother, and he was so gone, dude. He basically demanded that I find Louis for him! And he’s never demanded anything from me ever !”

“Pshhhh, Louis’ been jerking off to Harry for years--”

Louis dives from his place on the couch to sprawl across Zayn’s desk, snatching the phone up. There are loud noises coming from the other end of the phone as Louis shouts into it. “Who is this? Zayn has no idea what he’s talking about--”

Someone on the other end has begun shouting into the phone at the same time. “I never demanded anything--” When model Louis Tomlinson admits to having a celebrity crush on a very famous actor in an article in GQ magazine, he has no idea it will lead to anything. He definitely never suspects he will fall so hard and so fast for Harry Styles. When reality begins to interfere, their relationship is put to the test.

Tease (12k) AU. Louis Tomlinson, actor and movie star, is wildly in love with his boyfriend, supermodel Harry Styles. Their relationship is lovely and unlike any Louis has ever had before, which makes the surprise of Harry's newest interest that much more intriguing.

If You Ever Want To Be In Love (12k) Louis is a model. Harry is an up-and-coming singer/songwriter. They haven't seen each other in nearly two years.

You're Either In Or You're Out (12k) Louis' tone is maybe a bit harsher than necessary, but he still stinging from the suggestion that he was staring at Harry. Sure, the way his legs are encased in those skinny jeans is mildly intriguing. But Louis is here to be the next Top Designer, and he'll be damned if he lets a pretty boy with a sinful mouth get in the way of his dream. Especially if that sinful mouth is spewing phrases like bohemian pantsuit. Honestly.

Or the one where Louis tries out for Project Runway, Harry is his stupidly gorgeous competitor, Liam is Tim Gunn, Zayn is the supermodel host, and Niall is the guest judge who knows nothing about fashion.

Overwhelming (13k) He groans and squints at the feet of whoever he’s bumped into. All he sees is a worn pair of tan boots that lead up into a pair of long, long legs. He sits up, sighing, and rubs at his eyes; there’s a hand in front of his face so he grabs it and allows this stranger to help him up.

He blinks once, twice, and can’t believe his bad fucking luck, because of course he slammed his entire body into a pretty stranger. Not only that but—he smells the air once to confirm his suspicions—a pretty, sweet-smelling, alpha stranger. Fantastic.

Pretty stranger opens his mouth. “I didn’t concuss you, did I?”

Louis is an omega attending university to get his degree and most definitely not waste his time with unimportant things such as finding a mate. Harry is the alpha who manages to unwittingly mess up that plan.

More Than Anything (13k) Being able to see through the eyes of your soulmate may seem like a dream come true to many, but reality proves a little more complicated. For two young boys it's all they could ever wish for but as time passes by they come to realise that there's no pain quite the same as longing to have someone who just isn’t there.

Put It All On Me (15k) "Yeah, yeah, give it to me, that's it, spread your legs a bit, there you go."

The camera follows Louis as he does. Maybe if the modelling thing doesn't work out, he could try the porn industry. Then again, he's a bit too stocky to be twinky and a bit too twinky to be anything else. He likes that about himself, though. Well, directors and photographers like that about him. He could pull off pretty and edgy, could do GQ in the morning and a perfume commercial in the afternoon. Right now he thinks he could pull off anything, because it's Harry fucking Styles directing him.

Or, a Top Model AU where Louis is accidentally there to make friends, not become Britain's Next Top Model. (Also Zayn is the supermodel host.)

Found My Missing Piece (16k) “@harrystyles followed you.”

“@harrystyles liked your tweet.”

“What?” He whispers in astonishment, because there’s no way. But he clicks on Harry’s profile and sure enough, the little grey “follows you” appears by his name. After taking a second to just stare at the screen, he quickly takes a screenshot and sends it to his sister. Lottie is one of the few people who would understand his shock. Niall would certainly just make fun of him for it.  

Louis and Harry are both fashion bloggers. Louis' been following Harry for years. Harry and his blog really gave him the confidence and the push to make his own. His sister and best friend have been making fun of his silly little crush on him ever since. But that's all it is, a silly, harmless crush because there is no way Harry knows who he is. Or does he?

swimming in a champagne sea (16k) Louis is a supermodel. Harry is a celebrity photographer known for capturing the brightest up and comers in their most candid moments. They meet at London’s most exclusive New Year’s Eve party.

An alpha/alpha fic filled with confusion, banter, Ubers, and glitter

Make a Dime Go One Hundred (17k) “Hey, Haz,” he says, encouraged in equal parts by the weed and the cocoon they seem to have created around themselves. “Do you think you could trust anyone enough to have full control over you?” he asks into the night, hoping his sentence won’t break their bubble. It doesn’t, if the way Harry’s eyes meet his is any indication.

“What do you mean?” Harry’s voice is barely above a whisper, rough from the singing they had done earlier. Louis wants to keep this memory forever.

“You know, if someone wanted to, uhm,” he coughs, “to tie you up, or blindfold you.”

Friends to Lovers AU: Harry volunteers to help Louis experiment with bondage. Things don’t go exactly to plan.

If You Wanna Try Me On (18k) To be fair, Harry’d been half asleep when Niall convinced him to put in his CV in the first place. Like, Harry wants to be a proper serious journalist--he’s not about to give up that dream in favour of becoming a personal assistant at a fashion magazine, or...whatever. Harry’s not actually all that sure what Tomlinson Styles even is, beyond his ticket to fame or any of the other things Niall’d spouted off at him, but when he shows up for the interview and is unceremoniously shoved into an office with the Tomlinson part of that equation, all Harry can really think about is that he would like to be a Tomlinson-Styles.

...or the Devil Wears Prada AU that no one wanted. Sort of.

Life At Shutter Speed (20k) AU. Having landed a job modelling for an outdoor clothing catalogue, Harry certainly wouldn’t mind doing some extracurricular work for photographer Louis Tomlinson. Say, a private photo session? Yes, please? Good thing that Harry has ten days and three beautiful locations -- Morocco, Indonesia and the Swiss Alps -- to make Louis see just how good they could be.

Three French Hems (20k) In which Louis is a designer at Burberry and Harry spends December wearing Lanvin… and Lanvin… and Lanvin.

you think fashion is your friend, my friend (fashion is danger) (27k) "Louis has one rule, and one rule only, that he simply refuses to break. He forbids himself to be attracted to anyone he might work with. No wanking to models who might wear his clothes! It’s hardly fair, considering he spends 95% of his time working with the most attractive men on the planet, but his career is more important. Besides, in Louis’ experience, it always leads to disaster. Harry Styles makes respecting the rule really damn hard though and Louis is not quite sure why."

the one where Louis is a famous British designer and Harry is the clumsy, most likely straight model that makes his heart race.

sweet, where you lay (27k) Louis Tomlinson is a twenty-eight year old successful actor living in New York. Harry Styles is a twenty year old up and coming model and coincidentally also the one who turns Louis’ world completely upside down.

or, Louis is Zachary Quinto and Harry is Miles McMillan. Falling in love was always in the cards for them.

But Why Wonder, Why Wonder? (30k) The one where Marcel Styles has improbably landed a job in the fashion industry, and Louis Tomlinson is the actor-turned-lingerie-designer he’s been infatuated with for years.

These Constant Stars (31k) Louis’ career has nowhere to go but up. He’s living at the height of New York City on the precipice of an epic promotion. Life is good and only getting better. And then one day, things turn disastrous.

This is a story about life, death, and punk rockers turned guardian angels.

Promises We Made (35k) Its been five years since Harry and Louis broke up; they were seventeen and nineteen and it was messy to say the least. Cue Louis, who is worked off his feet making clothes for celebrities, Harry dropping his debut album, Niall who likes to avoid his insecurities by dragging Louis on Holiday, Zayn and Perrie as Louis' right hand stylists, and Liam who wishes Harry would just tell him about his ex-boyfriends before he contacts them about working for him.

Its either going to be a disaster, or the perfect timing they've all been waiting for.

football/designer (series; 2 works; 39k) Louis Tomlinson is an English fashion designer. Harry Styles is an American football player. 

everywhere (i wanna be with you) (42k) Harry and Louis meet because they have terrible friends, they fall in love because something feels right in a world of uncertainty and shifting grounds. Louis is an actor and Harry is a model at the top of his game, the best things in life are the most unexpected ones and the things that hit you when you are least expecting it.

Featuring winter in London, nights in Paris, early mornings in New York, burning heat in Monte Carlo and an enduring love spent transcending four corners of the globe.

to kill the mess we've made (43k) And when he's finally standing, Liam fussing over him, rubbing his hand at the red mark blooming on Harry's forehead, does Harry learn two things:

One, he wasn't actually hit that hard, and Tommo--or Louis, rather--is just as pretty when Harry is staring at him head-on and,

Two, Louis is the Adidas model he's going to be working with on today's photo shoot.

(or: AU where Harry and Louis are both models, and they decide being friends-with-benefits is a great idea. It isn't.)

Why Can't It Be Like That (63k) Louis Tomlinson, head of his local hospital's charity fund, suddenly finds himself in the heart of the Royal family when his mother marries the third son of the reigning monarch. Such an upset in lifestyle brings a lot of changes for Louis, one of them being the need for a stylist.

Enter Harry Styles, a cutting edge fashion stylist who loves his job and prides himself on his passion. The first time he sees Louis Tomlinson on the cover of a tabloid he wants to dress him, style him, make him as beautiful as Harry knows he could be. When he's hired to do just that, he knows this will be a perfect partnership. That is, until he actually meets the man.

A fashion AU with a royal twist, where Louis doesn't need a stylist, Harry's thrilled to have a real life Barbie doll, and they're both very wrong about each other.

In This Light (99k) Harry is a wardrobe stylist who likes to live in the moment, and Louis is a popstar who looks dreamy in double breasted jackets. Harry never stood a chance.

dusted in gold (series; 2 works; 100k) Harry’s an A-list supermodel, Louis’s his make-up artist boyfriend. They’re something of a dream team.

Dress you up in my love (103k) Harry is single, and more than anything wants to find love. Agreeing to sign up to a dating website was a bad, bad idea. Niall's bad, bad idea. Louis is single, but has no interest in relationships. Or so he tells himself. 

Harry is a lawyer whose boss, Nick, happens to give him a bonus, which he decides to splurge on a new work wardrobe. Louis is a frustrated designer, working as a personal shopper at Selfridges. Louis happens to be working on the day a very beautiful, but out of his depth, new customer ambles into their department in need of advice. Louis might have just found the muse he never knew he was looking for.

Featuring: Sophia as Louis' colleague, with a somewhat unhealthy obsession with his love life, whilst being oblivious when it comes to her own. Liam as the ‘IT bloke from downstairs’ with the mother of all crushes on Sophia. Niall as Harry's sport's writer flatmate who spends most of his time making Harry's life as complicated as possible. Zayn as Louis’ flatmate and lifelong best friend, whose cat, Noodle/Princess/Princess Noodle loves Louis more than it loves him. And Nick as Harry's boss and one of Louis' regular customers: is Imelda Marcos reborn.

In Vogue (121k) 'Is that why David Beckham has been featured multiple times on the pages of your life's work? Does your criteria seriously consist of one thing – a man's ass?'

'Well the ass is a man's best asset,' Harry smirks, holding the Martini glass high up his face. 'And don't call the magazine my life's work. There are far more important things in life, Louis Tomlinson, than what's printed on the pages of a magazine.'

Fashion AU. Louis is the editor in chief of Vogue magazine, and Harry's running British GQ. Featuring Zayn as the crazy creative director and Louis' confidant, Liam as the sports writer that gets to sit front row at fashion week and DJ Neil as the only sane person in the whole story. 

Let's Fall in Love in a Place You Want to Stay (134k) A George of the Jungle / Tarzan AU where Louis is a model who meets Wild Man Harry in the Congo. He was raised by apes and barely speaks a word of English and turns Louis' life upside down.

Have Faith In Me (183k) As the son of Anne Styles, millionaire owner of one of the world's most luxurious fashion labels, Harry has spent his last seventeen years living in carefree extravagance. And now he's grown tired of it, along with the pressure from his mum to follow in her footsteps and the constant care given to him by her past assistants.

When his mum's newest assistant, Louis, moves into the guesthouse, Harry determines to be treated differently. To be treated like an adult. Except Louis is not at all what Harry was expecting...

This is a story about growing up, growing in love and having the faith to make it last.

Fading (202k) Louis knows about beauty; the combination of qualities that pleases the aesthetic senses. He creates that combination every day in the garments he designs while studying fashion at uni. The cut of the design, the color of the fabric, the intricacy of the stitching; it all comes together to create something beautiful. When the science student with the long legs and dimpled smile agrees to model for him, Louis decides he’s found beauty personified. Harry just thinks Louis needs someone to show him how beautiful he is. [Trigger Warning: Eating Disorder]

Nadja Sayej on her new book, Biennale Bitch

Where are you from originally?

Nadja Sayej: I'm from Toronto! I know, I'm too sassy to be Canadian, I don't apologize enough. That’s what makes me a Biennale Bitch, though. Right now, I am based in Paris, hoping to move to New York.

How did you begin your travels? What made you want to go, and why did you choose your destinations specifically? How did these celebrity run-ins occur?

In 2010, I booked a one-way flight to Berlin and never looked back. Ove the past eight years, I’ve traveled around the world for one reason—art biennales. Not just the major Venice Biennale, but the far-flung ones in Norway, Latvia and Morocco. If a boldface name is making an art world appearance, I show up. I went to Vienna for an interview with Marina Abramovic, met Yoko Ono in Frankfurt and partied with the Princess of Libya in Marrakech. The trick is showing up early at press conferences, hanging out backstage, sneaking into VIP areas and going to afterparties. Sneaking in is the best part. If you’re multi-lingual and charming, that’s the cherry on the cake.

Which one was the most memorable and why?

There are too many! That’s why there are 30 chapters. But, I will tell you I interviewed Salma Hayek recently at the Venice Film Festival, she was totally unpretentious and fun. Other anecdotes include Brad Pitt strolling through a parking lot at Documenta, meeting Cate Blanchett at the Venice Biennale and having coffee with John Waters in Berlin.  

What were the differences in these people when you saw them abroad, versus how they are seen and portrayed as in the US? My biggest interest in this project lies in the ways I'm perceiving celebrities as letting their guards down and becoming more free in these places. Is this true? And why?

I think celebs love the European charm, they’re much more relaxed here. The paparazzi is also less crazy here, Europe is somewhat slower paced—and old school. Social media is also not as obsessive here and because there are so many languages in Europe, the Twitteratti is divided. When I met Thom Yorke in Venice, he was totally relaxed, shuffling through the crowd without much fanfare. There is no equivalent to a Hollywood studio here. There are winding streets, water boats and cute cafes, though (without free WiFi).

Why did you choose to never release the photos until now?

I was going through my SD cards and thought 'I should do something with these.' While my next forthcoming book will certainly be a black-and-white photo book of celebs, I really wanted to take the reader on a journey with each travel story, explaining each trip; I chased David Hasselhoff in a mini-truck down the Berlin Wall, hung out backstage with the Wu-Tang clan and saw A$AP Rocky do performance art. And what they’re really like backstage.

What is your own definition of "gonzo journalism?"

My YouTube show, ArtStars* TV, where I’ve interviewed everyone from Peaches to Bruce LaBruce and Julian Schnabel. Traditional gonzo journalism is best defined by Hunter S. Thompson, who in the 1960s, said: "Sick enough to be totally confident." But for me, it's more about taking a comedic approach to the art world, which often can be a very serious place. I'm the gonzo antidote.

What are the biggest differences between the art world in major U.S. hubs (primarily New York and L.A.) and Europe?

New York and L.A. are much more commercially-driven and star power is used to fuel exhibitions, which sometimes doesn’t happen in Europe, which favors a more anti-commercial outlook—yet, there’s the big bucks Art Basel in Switzerland. But there’s also this anti-entertainment sentiment in Europe. There’s also less digital art, as I remember seeing the 9th Berlin Biennale and thinking the curators (New York’s DIS collective), took a risky pop-friendly take, which was very un-European. Politics and protest play a different role in Europe, too. Last month, the American photographer Nicholas Nixon, who has been accused of sexual assault, opened a solo exhibit in Berlin and nobody said anything. No protests, nothing, meanwhile another one of his exhibit wasshut down in Boston this spring. If his Berlin exhibit was in America, there would have been a different response.

Which do you prefer and why?

I mean, what can I say? I chase art stars around the world! I love getting close to celebrities and hearing what they have to say about art, life and what kind of wisdom they have to share. So I'll see you in Hollywood! Or maybe Monaco. Don’t forget the butterfly kisses, that’s what everyone in the art world simply cannot do without. That and the champagne.

Ricardo Bofill Architect Dies

Barcelona, 14 January 2022 – The architect Ricardo Bofill Levi, Spain’s most international architect, died this morning in Barcelona at the age of 82. Born in 1939 in Barcelona, Bofill leaves behind a wide and varied architectural production, as well as many ongoing projects.

From its innovative collective housing complexes of his early years, such as the well-known Walden 7 and the Red Wall, to infrastructures such as the Barcelona Airport, the corporate headquarters of Shiseido Ginza in Tokyo and that of Cartier in Paris, and current projects such as the Mohammed VI University with offices in Ben Guerir and Rabat, Ricardo Bofill has stood out for questioning the dominant thought in architecture. And from that philosophy an enormous production has come out – around a thousand architectural works in forty countries – very varied in its stylistic expression, deeply rooted to the site, with a strong component of innovation and risk.

Ricardo Bofill founded the Taller de Arquitectura in 1963 with a multidisciplinary team formed not only by architects, but also by other professionals and artists such as the literary critic Salvador Clotas, the poet José Agustín Goytisolo or the economist Julia Romea. This transversal spirit still survives today, with his two sons, Ricardo Emilio and Pablo, in charge of the office for the past few years, leading a plural team of more than one hundred professionals from thirty different nationalities who are currently developing numerous projects. This amazing team of people, along with the whole production of his architecture, is the true legacy left by Ricardo Bofill, in the words of the architect’s sons.
