Tina Crespo



There is a stark quality to Tina Crespo's photographs that gives them the feeling of a crisp, winter morning. Her use of cool shades of blue make the pieces seem fresh and remind me of that wonderful feeling when the cold air hits you and fills your lungs with a clean, full sensation.

Jane Heller Photography



Jane Heller's work covers a wide variety of subjects from sexy pinup-style shots to photos of goats and baby chickens. Such a big range of themes could seem make some photographer's Etsy stores seem jumbled and cluttered, but Jane's capable hands (and eyes) mean that the collection really comes together and each piece seems to compliment the others.

mai autumn photo



When I first saw The Virgin Suicides I instantly fell in love with the dream-like aesthetic that Sofia Coppola had created, especially because it was so close to the way I pictured the Lisbon girls' world in my head when I read the book. When I came across mai autumn's photos I was struck by how wonderfully she had taken the influence of the film and made it her own in her beautiful photographs of suburbia in Upstate New York.

Lola's Room



Pastel colours prevail in the work featured in Lola's Room which give the photographs a delicate, gentle feel. There's something about these photos that remind me of a teenage girl's bedroom in the 1960s. And I mean that in the most complimentary way possible!

She Hit Pause Studios



Matt Schwartz' series of polaroid transfers of girls have an ethereal look and feel to them. They remind me of shoots from Playboy in the 1970s but manage to retain a beauty to them that makes the viewer feel not like they are exploiting the subjects but rather that these girls have invited you into a private moment in their dreamworld.

Carl Christensen Original Fine Art Photography (and special reader offer!)


A vintage Americana aesthetic runs through all of Carl Christensen's prints, with subjects ranging from country living to vintage maps.  As someone who has had a lifelong fascination with American culture and vintage, I couldn't resist sharing some of these with you.

UPDATE: Carl has kindly set up a special offer for readers of Etsy Photography Review. Anyone who purchases from his Etsy store and mentions this article in the notes to seller section will receive a free 5x5 print of his new polaroid 'lila' (which can be seen here). This is a fantastic offer and a great chance for you to own two beautiful Carl Christensen prints for the price of one!

Pamela Klaffke Photography


When I was younger I had a mask of a monkey's face that I loved so much I wore it to bed on more than one occasion. Pamela Klaffke gives that love of animal masks a surreal edge in her portraits of masked people and children. She also shoots exclusively with expired film and analogue film which gives her photos (none of which have been digitally altered) a feeling of something you might find in an old relative's house, their dirty little secret finally revealed.
