Hedi Slimane is Genius
Okay, so to switch things up, we’ll do (as in I’ll do) a tribute to the man. Guys don’t really get the spotlight much in fashion photography, and when they do, it’s pretty cracked up and bizarre. Or they use guys for disturbed tranny androgyny shoots, which isn’t all bad, but c’mon. What ever happened to the alpha male? You’re makin us all look bad. Except...

Iekeliene
You are becoming my favourite model. Yes, you, Queen of the Desert. This bucktooth beauty is really in her element here. I found my parka, so I’m ready for winter. Memories made in the coldest winter. You have to listen to Coldest Winter by Kanye.

Karlie Kloss
So I was going to upload some pics of this super hot model chick. Then I found out she is younger than me. OH MY GASH! So she’s currently 16 years old. Keeping in mind her pristine age, get a load of this:
She has walked for numerous designers including Calvin Klein, Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Zac Posen, Givenchy, Gucci, Valentino and Versace. Kloss has also had an editorial in...

Tiiu Kuik
Estonian, huh? Walked the runways for more than 40 designers, huh? Chanel, Louis V, Gucci, huh? Well this northern looker has caught many eyes, including CoverGirl’s, with whom she now has a ba-jill dollar contract. She was discovered at 13 at a local food fair, so that just goes to show you that you should look good at all times. She’s a true beaut, and this new editorial with the...

Sasha Pivovarova
This is some great swashbuckling photography. The whole desatch phenomena is still popular, and with her white skin and puh-puh-puh-poppin’ lips, this by-the-bay babe knows how to work it. I think it’s always exciting when somebody has their own page on wikipedia. If I ever reach that status, then I think I’ll be famous. Wikipedia kind of gives you insight into the people, even...

Model.live
Follow the lives of Cato, Madeleine, and Austria, three super cool noob fashion models who show you what it’s truly like to be a model. It’s kind of like America’s Next Top Model, but you get to see what happens to the winner. Well, okay, these girls didn’t win a contest, and are bustin’ their asses to get jobs. But it’s ultra-interesting and worth a look....

Steven Klein
It’s so funny how models can make wrestling look good. The poses are unreal, and to keep your composure must be very difficult. I think a lot of people underestimate what it’s like to be a model. Just think about how many pictures you look bad in, and then you’ll have an idea about how long it takes a photographer to get 4 good money shots. Steven Klein is amazing however; And...

Tony Duran
Duran Duran. This guy is great. Quipped the most famous non-famous photographer, he likes the nudity. And I will refrain from that here, but I’ll give you a sneaky peek. His poses, or rather, the way the models pose, is amazing. You can tell it’s his photo by the crazy contortionist interaction poses. And you really wonder, “What in the hell are the models thinking. I mean,...

Merty Mert & Marky Mark
You may have heard of Mert Alas & Marcus Pigott - well-known rulers of the fashion kingdom. I mean, if the fashion world were an animal kingdom, I think it’s clear that Steven Meisel would obviously be the lion. But don’t be fooled, Mert & Marcus take spot number two as Timon & Pumba. Don’t ask me how they met, if they are “just friends” or why their...

Electrically Shocked Youth
So if you haven’t heard of it already, Electric Youth mag is something new on the market. And I’m all for newly inspired cool “magateens” but come on. This video’s verdict… awful. Would you put it on the main webpage of your newly launched magateen website? If you happen to make it through the five minutes of guys doing.. (well, I dunno exactly what they are...

How to Become a Ford Model
Once and awhile I like to deviate from the norm, and today I’m bringing you a blog from Aaron Newbill, a model scout from Ford Models. He’s the creepy guy who asks you how tall you are before slipping you his card, inevitably scaring many young girls away. At first glance you may see him as a horny pedophile, but this guy is as sweet as a.. model scout… uhhhh, yeah. So check out...

Full Functionality
Okay, so I know it’s been awhile. But I hope you haven’t forgotten me. I just needed to take a little vacay; But I’m back, and better than ever! I’m pleased.. so pleased.. to report that Thanks for the Submission is fully functional! Okay, so that may not mean a lot to my two dear readers who visited today, but if that’s you, then you really are close to my heart. I...

Lorenzo Bringheli
If I had Etch-a-Sketch glasses would I be cool or what?! I’m sure I’d attract many feminalia, as in females. Hot stuff. So here are some cool pictorals I uncouthed taken by Lorenzo Bringheli. This cool Italian dude starting taking pics in high school. Hmmm… maybe we’re related. It goes on to say that after graduating, he went on to assist some photographers. I wish somebody...

Lily Cole
Now all joking aside, I think this would be a great name for a department store. But don’t get me wrong – this lady is far from slumping to that level. Lily Cole is the quintessential English chick with flaming red hair and East European bone structure… Did I get that right? Anyways the funniest story. She got her big break after a hamburger when this creepy guy pounced upon her and...

The Seventh
The Seventh, a fashion model and photographer index, is probably THE best website for combining fashion photographers and models into an easy to use, scroll-through catalogue. Pick your fave, and large photos will appear. Now could this get any easier? I found this website a century ago but forgot about it until I chanced upon it recently. Thank goodness for social bookmarking.

Kate Moss on British Style Genius →
It’s always a treat to see Kate Moss talk — since she doesn’t log much on camera time, with the exception of all those Rimmel commercials — and it’s even better when she’s making silly faces, telling stories about catching girls in her Topshop line, and being all around cheeky. Last night, she did just that on the new BBC series British Style Genius, which for a few...

KoModa
This fashion scanning site brings you the best editorials you’ve never seen. If you can get over the sluggish “snap previews” that are as annoying as a hungry mosquito, and the worst image hosting site, in my opinion, Imagevenue, then you can get around to finally enjoying the photos. If you are looking to get out of the usual posting cycle that leaks around the web, then KoModa...

A Smashing Time
Vogue Italia’s Spring 2007 issue brought me some delights today. And that’s aside from the turkey. Today is Canadian thanksgiving, and there is no better day to be thankful for fashion photography. It has been dazzling our minds and satisfying our senses for centuries.
In fact, in 1856, Adolphe Braun published a book containing 288 photographs of Virginia Oldoini, Countess de...

Three Photos that Changed My Life
One day I saw these photos. I never stopped dreaming about them. They never leave me. There is nothing about them I do not like. Because of them, I want to be a fashion photographer. I want to live my dream.
1. Kiley in the Forest by darkshapes Jay Parkinson. The way this is lit is beautiful and I have never seen it anywhere else. It has the perfect blend of mystery, subtlety, and represents to...

Katiusha
Funnay, her name has the word CAT in it (well, Kat) and she embodies a cat. I mean, if a cat were human, it would be called Katiusha. Okay, I guess I’m saying, holy mother this girl looks like a cat!
She has super long gorgeous hair too. And she’s Russian. Oh and did I mention she’s THIRTEEN?! See more photos here.

Beauty Au Naturel
So it’s great and all seeing the finished product, but to actually see the real person behind the plastic proves semi-interesting. Today I bring you the best in model sites. Three sites that showcase models, pick the best, show you the pics, and let you decide.
Now that’s what I’m looking for. My alienbees lights showed up today so I just may sneak you a peek of some pictures I...

Ode à la Thumbnail
So I thought I’d try something a little mismatched. The photography sites I visit vary from site to site.
I mean, you’ve got those long to load ones where the stupid flash takes a fortnight to load all for a tiny picture you’ve got to squint to make out.
Then, we have the famous name-click sites that is very popular. The one where you have to click their fancy, graphically...

Miles Above the Rest
Another flash of genius - or insanity - from Miles Aldridge. Proves he’s done his bit. Colour is the main motif here. I know this blog is overwhelmed with readers, but can somebody please submit a link soon. You know, I don’t just get this content from a nearby river. The river is running dry and needs to be replenished.

Iekeliene Stange
Iekeliene (Eek-a-lee-na) Stange is the best bucktooth Dutch model around. Notorious for her gap-tooth, Iekeliene is a beauty that doesn’t fit the mold. The mold has shifted to fit her, and she’s quickly scampered up the ladder of success headlining the Marc Jacobs SS07 (Spring & Summer for all you who can’t figure that out) show, and booking campaigns such as Dolce &...

Zeduce
Wendell Levi Teodoro is the man. The man behind some remarkable fashion foe-tog. He sensually zeduces you with his parallel of disgustingly beautiful imagery. This is probably the only photography site I’ve come across that has a plethora of options to view a bundle of pictures. So check out the site, because this guy is going to hold you for ransom.

Anthony Ward
Anthony Ward was a cameraman. Anthony Ward is now a photographer. Who knew?
His work is simple, profound, and simply profound.
He does it all. Oversaturation. Desaturation. Dogs. Light set-ups. Watermelon?
