Our very own, Dikka Vega for NYLON

Dikka and Vega are the most stylish husband and wife duo. Not only that, but, they are a photographer/stylist creative powerhouse. Lucky for us, Dikka is Poketo’s in-house photographer! We were so excited for Dikka and Vega when they got the chance to shoot for the cover of NYLON Indonesia. They got some things in the photoshoot from the Poketo site also! Do you see the awesome Merit Badge Necklace there? Below are some photos that made it to print and some outtakes you won’t find anywhere else.

Camera ready!

Summertime is when we go out and have a little fun. That means planning a trip (even just out the door) and taking our trusty cameras with us along for the ride.

This week, we’re sharing a few finds from the shop that add a little oomph to your usual snap.

They all look great, but it’s the photos they take that really add fun to an already awesome summer day. My favorites are the ones that literally change the way you see a shot.

Wide Angle Cameras

The wide angle lens on the Angel cameras expands your view. It makes me realize just how big this world is. It’d be perfect for a trip….


…even ones just outside my door. Here’s Nori out for walk.


The vastness of Downtown LA.

Sometimes, it takes two photos are better than one. The Golden Half camera lets you put together two photos that can tell interesting stories together.


This is Ted on a joy ride in Los Angeles. I love how you can see the driver and the view all in one photo.


What do you think Nori is up to and where is he? :)

Fisheye
If split screens aren’t for you, how about stepping into the shoes (fins?) of a fish? The Fisheye No. 2 Camera takes you there.


Here’s a cow from a different perspective.


The Fisheye makes something old new again. The 1918 Hotel Gellert by the Danube takes on a very different look apart from the guidebooks.

Oktomat
How about seeing the world through a spider’s eyes? The Oktomat takes eight shots consecutively and puts the images all in one 35mm frame.


No cows. How about daffodils? :)


Love how the yellow ball suddenly pops up on frame.

The world can be seen through so many perspectives (and lenses). Sometimes, it’s also a trip in itself to see how it can change from one shot to another.

So, how do you see the world? Share your favorite summer shots with us on our Facebook, we’d love to see where you’ve been and what you’ve seen!

Up, down and around

… that’s where a photographer needs to be to get the “money shot” so to speak. Here’s our primo papparazzo doing his thing:


This is Dikka being all sneaky to get a good shot of Anna in the Peekaboo tank.


We got some funny looks while Dikka was taking this shot. It is in the middle of the street, after all.


Sometimes, photographers have to get down and dirty. Here’s Dikka shooting of Anna in the Smooth Sailing dress punched up with red primary bangles.


Good thing Dikka has a good sense of balance or this shot of the Color Block dress might have not gone so well.


So, we learned that sometimes, you need to ask permission to shoot. Dikka brought out some serious negotiating skills and goofball charm to get that sticker on his shirt.


Look who wants to be in the spotlight. He was on a TV show once, you know.


Oh finally. Dikka’s got great place to rest- behind the fire hydrant!

How far have you gone to take that great shot?

Picture this and help Japan

It’s nice to know our passions can sometimes mean good news for people halfway around the world. Each purchase of these new cameras on Poketo means a donation of EUR 20.000 to the Red Cross Relief Japan.

This mini-Diana F+ is rightly called Jiyu (meaning Freedom). A light floral design and clean color palette lends this analog camera a delicate charm while letting your creative juices loose with dreamy or softly focused photos. Shoot using easily found 35mm film to produce either square or half-frame snaps. You can even shoot in multiple or long exposure.

See the world a different way with the Shiawase, Fisheye No. 2 camera. In Japanese, Shiawase means the spreading of happiness. Share this inspiring sentiment with this camera’s 170-degree radius shots. Your photographs turn into nicely rounded shots within each 35mm print. Shoot in multiple or long exposure for an extra helping of ebullience.
