Wes Anderson studied philosophy before diving into film-making. His early short film Bottle Rocket (1994) caught the attention of producer James L. Brooks, leading to his first feature-length film.
Over the years, Anderson has built a distinct cinematic universe, collaborating with actors like Bill Murray, Angelica Houston, and Scarlet Johansson. His films, including The Royal Tenenbaums, Moonrise Kingdom, and The Grand Budapest Hotel have earned critical acclaim for their unique storytelling and visual mastery.
Anderson’s aesthetic is unmistakable - symmetry, pastel palettes, meticulous framing, and a sense of nostalgia that feels both whimsical and melancholic. His films often resemble living storybooks, with characters navigating worlds that are both meticulously crafted and emotionally rich.
This sparked the "So Wes Anderson" trend on social media.
Over the past few months, my partner and I have tried our hand at a few Anderson-esque photographs - adding filters and stylising them to perfection, and these were our best picks of the bunch...
