VERSES

I really like the concept behind this editorial.. It's something I haven't seen before and I can really appreciate the transformation from the simple dresses, clean skin and pulled back hair to the final product..

Stephen Smith has taken this story somewhere new.. I wish I had the opportunity to work with photographers with a more clear vision even when the concept isn't something typically seen..

The Guy With An Awesome Eye.. Dusan Reljin..

Dusan Reljin.. amazing visions with the camera, he's eye for beauty is unmistakable. From his angles to his play on light, he seems to capture the very essences in each and every frame, I'm a huge fan of black & whites, and his are some of my favorites.

Artistic and sensual, his style of photography is one that has received high praise from some of fashions power players and he has worked with some of the most in demand faces of the modeling industry.

Raw Sex, take a look at Hugh Lippe's Dirty & Sweaty take on editorial.

I recently came across some of Hugh Lippe's work on one of my favorite websites, that I’m devoting to checking every single day.. I automatically fell in love with his raw and almost grimy style of work. To me he seems to catch the intimate moments of what could very likely be seen as raw and not-so-intimate situations. Here is some of his bio, borrowed from his website...

Hugh was born and raised in Texas, his background lies within the arts. He graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design. His rural background brings an edge to his approach with the camera and he currently works and resides in New York. Check out more of his amazing work, and more information on him on his website at..

The two images bellow are some of his most recent work with male model Tony Ward who is known as a risk taker in the industry and I think that's an obvious observation given the amazing images below. With Lippe's recent interest in the editorial world, I'm looking forward to seeing more of his work in the future..
