Sølve Sundsbø...

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Sølve Sundsbø is a Norwegian fashion photographer based in London. Sundsbø is a big name in the fashion industry, having worked for luxury houses like Dior, Gucci, Hermes, and Yves Saint Laurent - whos fragrance ad he shot was the first to feature male frontal nudity. His images are elegant and surreal, and no, he doesn't digitally edit them - which is surprising for the glossy feeling his fresh photographs exhibit.

Day N' Night...

"I firmly believe that everyone is entitled to a little bit of awkwardness, ugliness, weirdness, and individualism. I particularly hate it when people criticize others for their quirky or "flawed" style in clothing, art, or music. So f*ng what? At least they're being honestly expressive, which is more than I can say for so-called tasteful people with their calculated "creativity" that is banal, if anything. Those people have no guts."

New York based photographer Red de Leon says it how it is. His photographs, which are as majestic as his name, have morphed from raw portraits to crisp fashion photography. There is a layer of ambiguity to his images; although he casually writes about current projects and daily philosophies on his flickr page. More work at 990000.com.

Carmen & Elle...

These photographs are by photographer/stylist duo Carmen Fruedenthal and Elle Verhagen (respectively). I found out that the two worked in-house for Bernhard Willhelm from 2001 to 2007, which isn't surprising since like Willhelm's pieces, their photographs are bright, intricate and captivating. Their work is very clean and crisp, but the subjects/settings are ambiguous and bizarre. The duo has also shot for mags like i-D, Jalouse, Visionaire, and Dazed & Confused. Both Carmen and Elle are based in Amsterdam.
