The Wild Ones || Sarah Bahbah
Australian music festival photographer, Sarah Bahbah, simply transports me to the time and place of each photograph she takes. As a lover of music and festivals alike, I cannot tell you how many times I’ve wanted to capture key moments during a concert and wish I could bottle them up forever. Sometimes those moments pass you by so quickly, taking a video or photo won’t cut it or it’ll take you away from the present time. And, if you do capture the story… it’s never like what you saw with your naked eye.
Somehow, Sarah captures those moments and she’s not only photographing the artists on the stage, but has stepped back and started a series called “The Wild Ones”. Here, she focuses on the individuals who attend the shows, and it’s in these pictures, where I fell in love with her photography.
“People thought I was capturing the festival, but I really wasn’t capturing it the way I really saw it, raw organic moments. I was getting really frustrated and decided to step back and photograph the subtle wild ones.” – Sarah Bahbah
“I heard this quote once […] “Observe everything around you as if you’ve never seen it before,” and it’s so true.” – Sarah Bahbah
“I will go around festivals and dedicate certain lighting hours to trying to find people who are going against the norm.”- Sarah Bahbah
“He was really good looking, I was just like “Hey, um you look really good smoking that cigarette, can I take a photo of you?” He had really big blue eyes. I just said, “Okay look at me and smoke.” And then I took his photo and ran away.” – Sarah Bahbah

Style Feature || Farhad Younus
VANCOUVER, SEPTEMBER 2012
Words & Photos by Kate Wotherspoon
This guy, is one hell of a good dresser… I worked with him at Holt Renfrew and everyday his outfits would never disappoint. From head to toe and handkerchief to showy socks, his look is sophisticatedly on trend and a perfect mix of media. He works for Tom Ford and is a family guy with two sons who are quickly catching on to the definition of style. He plans to start his own label on the side catering to urban women who will feel sexy and powerful wearing his designs and you can always catch him walking with a certain je ne sais quoi… #swag
We planned for the style feature numerous times but it never panned out until one day I was sitting in Starbucks and he joined me for break. It was one of my last shifts and we were running out of time and decided we mineswell “get’er done now or never” (That’s obviously what I spat out, not him)… So, I borrowed a pencil from the barista and scribbled his thoughts, preferences and inspirations down on an Americano stained napkin and snapped some street shots with my handy dandy iphone! Check out the photos and interview below. xx
