my first [minor] styling job

Here are a few shots from a shoot I worked on. It was shot by the amazing Ellinor Stigle who I swear is probably the sweetest person in the world, on top of being super talented. She had a great idea of shooting a turban story, but not in an overly styled/contrived way. She asked me to jump on board and style the boys in the turbans. It was a fun, easy shoot. The photos came out beautifully and totally natural.

models: Zach King and James Cox—Red Models

encens magazine’s new direction

I love when I receive updates from Encens. Those who know the magazine are very familiar with the concept.  Editors/founders, Samuel Drira and Sybille Walters, feature a different designer/theme every issue and create some of the most beautiful editorials and powerful articles. The magazine continues to evolve and gain momentum with every issue. With that being said, beginning September 2010 they are going in a new direction. For starters they are switching from a bi-annual publication to a more exclusive once a year release. For collectors like myself, chasing down the magazine will be even more exciting; thrill of the chase kind of thing. Waiting for a new issue to come out every year will be worth it because there will be 400 incredible pages of inspiration to flip through and possibly salivate over. BE SURE TO GET A COPY.

via: The Imagist From an 1987 Yohji Yamamoto ad catalogue, shot by Nick Knight This just goes to show that advertisements/ad-campaigns don’t need to be bogged down with excess. I love this one from Yohji because it upholds artistic integrity and sells the garments at the same time. Understated, yet thought out, simple yet alluring. Capitalism has become such a driving force in ad campaigns (naturally) that creativity often gets muddled in the effort to sell clothing. It was so refreshing to stumble upon this and know there was a time where creativity and vision weren’t sacrificed. I’m also reminded of  Kara Walker when I look at this, though this preceded her work.
