Blurb from YAMS:

Since the phenomenon with Chyna and the scenes from Napoleon Dynamite including Rex Kwon Do’s wife, I’ve taken a liking to muscular, woman who are cut-the-fuck-up! A few years ago, I had the opportunity to shoot with a muscular woman who goes by the moniker SuperFrench, but Miss French has nothing on these babes! I wish I took these photos. Photographers unknown.

Kindly take a look at my photography of SuperFrench by clicking here and watch the video below!

Beth Ditto

Blurb from YAMS:

I have a love for photography with Beth Ditto in it — especially the photo work done for Pop — hence, the photograph taken by Steven Klein and overseen by Katie Grand on the GrungeCake homepage and all sister sites. In short, size matters… I wonder if Ditto and Gaga get along.

About Beth Ditto:

A resident of Portland, Oregon, she is a close friend of Scissor Sisters lead singer Ana Matronic, and considers her favorite song to be “Oh Bondage, Up Yours” by X-Ray Spex. She courted mild controversy in 2006 when, during an interview for NME magazine, she claimed to have eaten squirrels as a child, saying that “people in Arkansas just do – they’d think you were a freak if you ate squid there!”

Ditto is known for her noticeable stage dances and her unique and revealing image. She classes herself as a punk, and thus does not wear deodorant or shave under her armpits, having once remarked that “I think punks usually smell”. She has been lauded for her support of positive body image, despite comments from doctors that she may be causing harm to public health by normalising obesity. She also formerly contributed an advice column on body image to The Guardian newspaper.

In February 2009, she was featured in London as the cover model for the premiere of Love magazine with prominent public advertising. On July 9, 2009, Beth’s fashion collection for the UK retailer Evans was released for sale, both online, and in selected stores across the UK.

Ditto on the premiere cover of London’s Love Magazine. She has been an outspoken advocate for large women being body-positive and has been regularly photographed as an editorial model. Ditto, who is lesbian, is well known for her outspoken support of both LGBT and feminist causes.

Kimothy Camilleri’s Bio:

Front of cameras for 6 years now, and most of the make-up and styling you see in both my modeling and photography portfolio is done by me unless credited otherwise. I am a young hectic artist with no big lights and flashes unless a friend has helped me out for a night with lending me a set of lights, then most of my portfolio is done with natural light. My life is my artwork and basically I feel like I was put on this earth to create and I hope to force my reality on you.

GrungeCake Magazine had the pleasure of working with Ms. Kimothy Camilleri for our The Push Episode as our theme photographer. For Camilleri images, kindly order our magazine.

Blurb from YAMS:

“Look at that rack.”

Making airwaves was the recently shot 2010 Pirelli Calendar which brings together a remarkable topless cast of some of the world’s most beautiful women. The shoot– which includes the likes of Daisy Lowe, Lily Cole, Eniko Mihalik and Miranda Kerr– was photographed by Terry Richardson.

Terry Richardson’s Bio:

Terry Richardson is an international celebrity as well as one of the most prolific and compelling photographers of his generation. Known for his uncanny ability to cut to the raw essence of whomever appears before his lens, Mr. Richardson’s vision is at once humorous, tragic, often beautiful, and always provocative.

Born in New York City and raised in Hollywood, Terry began photographing his environment while attending Hollywood High School and playing in a punk rock band. And he hasn’t stopped shooting since. Terry has lensed campaigns for such clients as Gucci, Sisley, Miu Miu, Chloe, and his editorial work has appeared in magazines such as French Vogue, British Vogue, i-D, GQ, Harper’s Bazaar and Purple, and his impressive list of subjects includes Daniel Day Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Vincent Gallo, Tom Ford, Jay Z, Kanye West, Johnny Knoxville, Karl Lagerfeld, Pharell Williams and many others.

Whatever the medium, Terry Richardson continues to prove that he is a true American Original.

Blurb from YAMS:

When Nico made the connection, it was official. His subjects, composition, props, and tones are attractive. Every time I sit and read his work, I feel like I am in a music video. I hear music when I look and read his work. We are now chummy. Go figure. (Laughs) For Nico’s great port, click here. The background has been devoted to Nico Stinghe. I hope you enjoy his work.

Another Side Walk’s Mission Statement:

A photography and video studio of mental movement, a life documentary and interpretation body. Anothersidewalk is a creative studio.

GrungeCake: Your photographs embody fun, illusive and dreamy, jovial, flexibility times through a lifestyle subject. Does your personality reflect your masterpieces?

Nico Stinghe: Photography is very simple, the beautiful part of it is that it let’s you go wherever you want physically and mentally and contact whoever you want, if you are a curious person you should be a photographer.

GrungeCake: It seems you share a love for geometric shapes. Is there any deep reasoning behind the shapes or was it thee ol’ designer’s trial and error?

Nico Stinghe: Abstract! I never realized this until you told me. I could maybe go back in time and analyze parents, forms, courses, games I would play. One day I was on a sofa and I remembered a game I used to play on the TV and this guy sitting on the other sofa told me, “I would never play it.” How did he knew, it was just a thought.

GrungeCake: Cooley said, “An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.” Is this what fuels you to create so beautifully?

Nico Stinghe: I had problems admitting I was a photographer and still cannot say I am an artist. Now I say I’m a photographer and the artistic side I’m still confused with understanding it. Imagine: I have to think about my profession and describe it. I generally like to let things go, not have control over, and improvise with what is around.

I personally prefer less people near us, more energy, less perfection. It’s important to let people go into their imaginary and forget the most possible. And not explain too much stuff.

GrungeCake: Being an artist, we usually criticize our work 12,000 times over before we release it to our pets. Are you completely satisfied with the campaign you have created with the two fashion industry giants Adidas and Diesel?

Nico Stinghe: There was quite a team behind this campaign. I like the results very much.

GrungeCake: The city of Montreal has a photographer to boast about from today into the next 10 decades. You are rather large on the Internet. Are you aware of your e-presence? Do you type your name/s in the search engines sometimes?

Nico Stinghe: Such an intimate question! And nice compliments! Thank you!

GrungeCake: What were your beginnings like?

Nico Stinghe: A mix of science and spirituality.

GrungeCake: Do current photographers in your league inspire you?

Nico Stinghe: I prefer paintings to photography. And at the end I prefer photography to paintings because it has constraints, the laws of physics. And the psychology of the model and mine. I also prefer portrait photography.

GrungeCake: I feel it is odd to ask a photographer which tools they utilize to create, but could you share what brand you prefer to shoot with and if you are content with the state of digital photography?

Nico Stinghe: I use Canon cameras and now thinking of getting a large format camera and just bought a 35mm Konica. I have no idea what’s on the film inside it yet. I used a webcam once to filma NYC train. Ill show it to you. It’s nice.

GrungeCake: Anothersidewalk is a name that I cannot forget. Have you done this to me on purpose?

Nico Stinghe: Yes, thank you for the feedback! I won one point.

GrungeCake: How did you find GrungeCake? What do you think about our name?

Nico Stinghe: I always look for interesting links, what people do. For sure, I found it after I typed my name in Google and we were two clicks away. The name is great! I like the Grunge part!

GrungeCake: What’s next for Nico Stinghe?

Nico Stinghe: A lot of travels.
