Jonathan Waiter
Really quite stunning photography from Jonathan Waiter. His images takes the standard mold and breaks it with an injection of attitude and personal expression. Waiter lets his models express emotions that other photographers would be afraid of, for fear the model would look too vulnerable. Instead Waiter brings us images that are independent, youthful, intriguing, and of course gorgeous.

NY Fashion Week – Boy by Band of Outsiders Spring 2010
(Click image to zoom in)
Scott Sternberg has transitioned his muse from the French libraries of the 60’s to the bonfire beach parties of the 70’s. One of the more casual and relaxed collections to come from Band of Outsiders still has that great refinement and attitude that Sternberg has seemed to patent. Personally the Jacques Cousteau caps are not my favorite but headwear is hardly a deal breaker in any look.
How to be a Model: Rihanna for Vogue Italia
(Click image to zoom in)
It’s amazing how many professional models Rihanna puts to shame when she graces the cover of a magazine. She has become a brand with the trademark look and attitude of the moment. In the September issue of Vogue Italia the Man Ray-esque images by Steve Klein display Rihanna in one of her most rounded spreads she’s ever done. Very few people can work so many extreme looks and still retain that essence in which you know that’s Rihanna. A lot of models can be a chameleon and adapt from photo to photo, but Rihanna can be Rihanna in any photo and make it work.
“Absolute Man” by Hedi Slimane
I know this site is starting to sound like a fan site. One day Hedi Slimane, one day Kate Moss and so on, and so on…
Well I can’t help it if they produce a large body of excellent work. Slimane’s feature for Balmain Homme is in character with his usual mise-en-scene. The attitude, in classic Slimane style, is young and cool with and edge. Slimane completely owns a signature style that feels like a fresh idea every time. Slimane is on Avedon status these days and I can’t see much changing that for some time.
