I like to call it hand photography, but you might have another name for it

Martin Munkácsi

This photographer is a new discovery of mine, his photos are beautiful, ambiguous, enchanting and surreal, all of which I consider to be most important in a good photograph. Despite the fact that many will consider him outdated (most of his work was done around the 1930s) his work lives on and to this day he acts as an inspiration to some of the best photographers. The thing that first struck me about Munkácsi's work was the remarkable sense of movement throughout, considering the time at which the photos were taken. He was said to have been one of the first people to use movement within photography. If anything I would say that he was the start of modern photography, even all that time ago he has shaped the way photography is today.

As soon as the Prada Creeper Brogues (designed by Miuccia Prada) were first unveiled this year they caused no end of controversy but they immediately appealed to me. Despite being 450.00 over budged at a whopping 510 quid a pair, their bright colour and quirky style was exactly my sort of thing so when I recently came across a really similar pair in Topshop for exactly the price I was willing to spend it was a no-brainer to bring them into my life. The Topshop version come in brown or black but each have the unique chunky soul which was first used on brothel creepers but was reinvented by Prada. Despite not being in the bright colours which originally caught my eye these shoes are a classic piece of design and at only 60.00 (GBP) a pair they are a must have.
