Paper Magazine

Pete Davidson in ‘Break the Internet‘ by Tommy Dorfman for Paper Magazine. This strange editorial focuses on what Dorfman Refers to as Depressed Ken. Placid and somewhat displaced, the story reads like a mono-syllabic spoof. The landscape of lunacy laid out in human form. Art embraces life and… well you get it. He uses the futile nature of things to both connect and detach. This composition can be a compelling construct, when artfully engaged. 

Back in Time Retro Beauty is Defined

Bella, Bella Bring Me Home I’m Calling to the Great Unknown, back in time retro beauty was defined. Art is an energizing theme to explore as we delve inside the makeup artist’s mind.

A transient truth tortured by time as seeking perfection is a waste of fervent minds.

I'm the Leopard She Is Me We're One Heart of Humanity

Julia Hafstrom becomes one with the leopard in this exquisite editorial by Kristian Schuller for Harper’s Bazaar Turkey, December 2017. I see this story as symbol of strength.

We have witnessed a significant shift in our struggle for Equality. Is is she who mimics the animal or the animal the mimics she?

Models are primed and ready to party in “The Celebration Issue” by Mert & Marcus for Vogue Italia, December 2017. Decadence is upon us as each shot heralds the coming of a brand new year.

Boundaries are left behind as images dare to take us deeper into the mindset of model-mania. 

Jazzelle Reaches Out to Find Strength of Her Own Hand

Jazzelle moves smoothly through the camera lens like water through a hose in “Magnifico” by Nick Knight for The Fashionable Lampoon, Fall/Winter 2017.

Never before have I been so moved by the human condition. Viewing this editorial I was touched by this vessel of the visual.
