Annie Morton: heads and tails
model annie morton photographed by juergen teller bit over plucked on the eyebrows but fabulous otherwise. if i’m not completely off here, i think this is part of the series that juergen took when he was married to / or with the incredible stylist venetia scott and thanks to her encouragement he photographed his castings just straight on. i have the book somewhere buried under others and its too late to double check so don’t quote me on that. by dd
Chloë Sevigny
this is probably one of my favorite pictures of chloe. she looks amazing and graceful which is not always the case with her. that said shes a very cool girl, or at least she was when i met her on a shoot and she was so low key and down to earth. all that coudl have changed by now of course. by dd

back from the islands
a week of nothing to do but lay around sipping on cold drinks and watching the sunset, well set. i watched the fishermen pull their catch out and hand selected what i wanted for dinner… the way it should be. it was great but glad, in a sadistic way, to be back. by dd
SURF ROYCE: SURFING IN STYLE
great vibe by brit photog magnus reed. some of his men’s work is really great, others quite lifestyle-y and less inspired. but you cant be right all the time or you’d be george bush. by dd
david downton
it looks like rene gruau, but it’s not rene gruau, it’s david downton. at first i couldn’t really figure out if the guy was still around or if he was 80 years ago, but now i know. the dude is not so old, just some really talented guy with a kind of classical vision. by pp.
rosemarie auberson – less is more

fireworks studies – pierre le hors
had a glimp of this work some weeks ago and it’s really staying in my mind, maybe it will be the same with you. by pp.
michel amet – darkness of calm
michel amet’s dark portraits capture his subjects in the purity of calm. straight forward yet mysterious, i have been haunted by these images. you can see more of his portraiture here. by kl
