A beautiful series of evocative, impressionistic images. The fragile poses and soft focus create a nice sensuality. The onset of darkness adds a dream-like quality. A really great example of mood photography.

Cool little behind-the-scenes video of Steven Meisel’s ad campaign for Lanvin S/S 2010. Features model Jamie Bochert flinging her hair and handbag around in the air in a fast, frenetic shoot. Nice to know that the gravity defying effect was created in the studio, not in post.

For this editorial, Luca Patrone creates a cool noir style through high-contrast black and white images. I love the atmospheric shadows and light reflections. Not sure if the light in the last two images is superimposed or bouncing off a glass window, but either way, it looks awesome!!

Check out this ad campaign photographed by Tom Munro for Brazilian label Forum. It features Dutch supermodel Lara Stone and male model Marlon Teixeira in a steamy… um… children’s playground. I love the use of strong backlighting and smoke to create a wall of white and the voyeuristic feel of the shots through the bars. Very seductive indeed!

I absolutely love the concept and execution of this editorial for the April 2010 edition of Vogue Nippon! The lighting and compositions by Mikael Jansson are just stunning and Daria Werbowy really is a goddess. I don’t particularly like the black and whites, but the color images are sublime!

A slick editorial for Vogue Italia March 2010 by Steven Klein. It was styled by Patti Wilson and features models Rie Rasmussen & Jon Kortajarena in a variety of locations. The cool blue and green lighting and the dramatic poses make it feel like an episode of CSI. Very striking images!

A glorious editorial from Tank Magazine. Photographer Satoshi Saikusa captures Sophi Srej & Melo Dagault in beautiful light. I love the indoor garden concept, the light and shadows, the skin tones of the models and the styling/art direction. Simply stunning!

Check out this editorial by Mario Sorrenti for Vogue Paris May 2006. Titled ‘Nuit Fauve’, the editorial features Iselin Steiro as a creature of the night in a sensual tale of lust and desperation. Bloody good images!

A very slick editorial by Craig McDean for Interview Magazine. I love the strong backlighting through the window, creating a cool washed out look. It goes well with derelict building and the bored, ‘don’t give a shit’ looking models. Effortless chic.

Featured models: Yuri, Meghan, Zachary, Jenny, Anthony, Dorothea, Sara, Alexey, Frey, Kate, Patricia, Ian, Jacquelin, Kristina, Nimue, Nanou, Lisanne

Check out these beautiful large format, tilt shift, b&w film images by Fred Fraser. I love the shallow depth of field and the grayscale tones. They’re just sublime! Also, take a look at Fred’s blog here for his latest work.
