Vincent Laforet Photography

Vincent Laforet is Contract Photographer for the Ney York Times. His website is really nice and simple and full of some pretty incredible photos.

Some of my faves are the shots looking straight down to the ground over large groups of people on the beach or on the grass. I like these images because they highlight social groups and show the limits of everyone's personal space as well as who is friends with who. I suppose they also give a snapshot of fashion and trends in colour and hairstyles. The beach one is also really nice because everybody is framed by a coloured square of blanket.

Yet another reason for me to fancy living/working in NY.. think it is gona have to happen!
