Androgynous

I am a big fan of androgynous photography. The ‘Remember’ spread in Love #4 F/W 2010 stars models Dree Hemingway and Hannah Holman.  Shot by Boo George and features the models in front of a bleak landscape. The spread looks beautiful and sophisticated in black and white, perfectly channeling the old-school class of photographs.

Time Magazine: Aisha’s Cover Story

South African photographer Jodi Bieber took this picture of 18-year-old Aisha, a victim of the Taliban war on women. Her husband chopped of her ears and nose for running away from his abusive family.

This picture has raised so many debates throughout the media on whether the Americans should stay or leave Afghanistan.

I feel that the situation has become worse, when there is a war, there are guns, Taliban men with guns is not a good idea.

But what really breaks my heart is beautiful women like Aisha have to suffer, their pictures are on magazines that the do not even know. It’s terrible to take advantage of such sad stories for the cause of war  propaganda.

  Aisha is soon to undergo surgery in the United States to rebuild her face.

Vanity Fair April 2009

Photographer Annie Leibovitz is funny.

 

“In the new April 2009 issue of Vanity Fair, the iconic photographer parodies her own Vanity Fair March 2006 cover, which had a clothed Tom Ford with nude Hollywood starlets Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley.

The comic recreation features Paul Rudd as Tom Ford alongside Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, and Jason Sege. “

Elle Muliarchyk

Belarusian-born, Elle is a former model who was discovered in a Soho cafe. She was making a name for herself with her guerrilla-style self-portraits taken in high-fashion dressing rooms without the permission of the boutiques, she was often arrested. I love her latest work, so called “pop photography”

“For five months, Muliarchyk scoured New York places of worship in search of statues on which to showcase some of the most divine clothes and accessories of the season. And while this time round Muliarchyk asked for permission from church leaders, she has lost none of her dazzling irreverence or infectious joie de vivre.”
