Sensuality


With the exception of the last image (because it is the only one in color and sticks out like a sore thumb), I think this shoot exemplifies the right way to photograph a woman and express sensuality without making it look like something featured in playboy. There is a fine line between portraying sensuality and sexuality without being erotic and I think that this shoot does a great job at being completely sensual yet not erotic, even though the model, Erin Wasson, is barely or not clothed. I think the soft light and wispy, draping fabrics help to add a sort of ethereal feel to the images and give it a sort of dream-like quality which removes the location and scene from a real world sort of setting. I think the reason she is so perfectly sensual is the fact that it doesn't look like she is trying to be sexy. She is barely posing and it looks like she just simply is there...she exists in that way and that she isn't playing up anything for the sake of the camera, unlike the girls posing for maxim.

Le Chic


I think the beautiful soft light and effortless styling work perfectly in this spread photographed for Elle Belgium. The last image is probably my favorite of the spread because it isn't your typical fashion editorial jumping picture and they did a really classy job of showing just enough of the "set up" and behind-the-scenes with the bottom of the backdrop. I also have a weakness for images photographed in a natural light studio and I liked the colors in the shoot which are consistent with the past few I have posted.

Making Color Work


Continuing in the style of yesterday's blog post, my purpose of posting this shoot is for the use of color. I thought some of the tonalities were similar but I also thought this shoot did a better job of integrating color and black and white images together simply because there seem to be a relatively even number of each type of photograph in the shoot as opposed to two black and white images stuck in at the end of an all color shoot (yesterday's post). As always, Sasha and Milla are absolutely stunning and their upbeat edge provides a nice break from the serious and solemn emotions featured in a lot of editorial shoots.

Harper's Bazaar Spain


What I love about this editorial, shot by Chloe Crespi for the September issue of Harper's Bazaar Spain, is that each image is striking and stunning and ends up being a complete power-house of an editorial. The beautiful soft light, dramatic backgrounds, soft textures, and the coloring of the shoot combine and make an exquisite editorial. The coloring is so perfect that I almost wish that the last two images weren't black and white because I don't want to stop seeing those beautiful colors that infuse the shoot with such emotion. Harper's Bazaar is consistently coming out with amazing new material and editorials with every issue and knocking the editorials coming from other magazines completely out of the park.
