edouard levé
i don’t know if the late edouard levé was the first (and the only) one to do this kind of images but i think it’s definitely making a point. i remember diesel look book from when this brand was edgy with this kind of pictures. mister levé also did a rugby version which is a pretty nice example of action taken out of context. a bit dated but still pretty fresh. by pp.

glen luchford: black magic
glen in early days with handsome jack (sparrow)
our soft-spoken friend, photographer, and film maker glen luchford, has truly reinvented himself with his beautiful black and white work. i saw something of his today and it prompted me to check his work again. his work for prada was for years the holy grail of fashion, and he’s sure to be on top of the list again with his new work above with models mariacarla boscono and malgosia bela, beautifully rich . by uh

patti smith – polaroids
i remember the first time i saw patti smith polaroids in paris at “la fondation cartier” and the book published along with it. that was so great and so poetic, i guess people are nowadays a little more into those not so tech-ish thing but at the time that felt fresh (even if polaroids are not so fresh per say, i know) so i was happy to see another selection of her pictures this week end in the ny times. so from top to bottom, left to right we have: Pope Benedict XV’s slippers / a replica of William Blake’s life mask / Virginia Woolf’s bed / Susan Sontag’s grave in Montparnasse Cemetery / Constantin Brancusi’s grave, also in Montparnasse / Robert Mapplethorpe’s slippers. more here. by pp.
