Random Homage: Who Doesn’t Love Photography???

It’s been a while since I’ve done a random homage so this is long overdue. Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of amazing photography projects so it’s only right that I share with you all. It would be selfish, but still very visually stimulating, if I only displayed my own work. ;-)

1: One of my favorite photographers EVER, Annie Leibovitz, recently teamed up with Vogue and their creative director, Grace Coddington to crank out an amazing collaboration. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; conceptual photography is the best. It’s always great to see photographs that tell a story, and this particular story is that of Hansel and Gretel. And what is the story of Hansel and Gretel without a witch? Yes, there is a witch, portrayed by none other than Lady Gaga, today’s queen of extreme fashion. Coddington said Gaga was “up for anything.” See what she meant by that here.

2: The Sartorialist, aka Scott Schuman, is M&N approved to say the least. His work is amazing and he is making great strides in the world of fashion and photography. He recently linked up with the folks at Burberry to do a project on trench coats and the finished product was surely something special. Schuman took pictures of 100 people wearing Burberry trench coats and outerwear to create the photo montage now known as “The Art of the Trench.”

3: The Brooklyn Circus is at it again! They have called upon photographer, John Midgley, for a portrait series on very stylish gentlemen 65 years of age and above. I can’t wait to see the outcome of this because BKc and Midgley always produce great work. Almost makes me want to be 65. Almost. Check out the info here and make sure to tell grandpa!
