Pattern Pulp

The Latest in Product Photography




We’ve all gotten used to white-washed backgrounds with shallow shadows thanks to Terry Richardson. Interestingly (and refreshingly), we’re starting to see an evolution of this high-low trend that incorporates a wash of color. From Sous Style’s weekly Tip Off shot by Lianna Tarantin where house-hold products become still-life perfection to Christopher Griffith‘s translation of Jill Lapore’s Battleground America to Tim Small’s The Milan’s Review, the sum of these examples simplify the story for a stark message translated through a punchy color backdrop.

Bringing commercialism (and Terry Richardson) back to the stage, Aldo’s latest campaign playfully incorporates type with a flat monochromatic background. Are you a fan?

 

Trend: Eclectic Plates & Animal Oddities

I’ve been on the hunt for a few pieces to round out the apartment lately and during this relentless search, I’ve found some fantastic treasures. Off the heels of the animals acting as humans trend (yes, there’s a blog too), these plates from A & G Merch are a rather fun spin off of your grandmother’s china.

Here are a few favorites from the blog, a time suck, and small delight, similar to the charms of Cute Roulette.

And returning to the roots of this feature, here are beautifully styled plates from Sous Style. Showcasing the imperfect perfect, there’s a refreshing attainability to this mix and match trend.
