Milk and honey

I haven't been following fashion photography for months now because the volume at [info]foto_decadent was more than I could keep up with, but I've been missing it lately, and so thought I'd do another vaguely themed tour through my vast image archives again (I previously did a post on redheads) to dig up some old favorites, this time with the approximate theme of "white." Hope you enjoy!
Needless to say, very image-heavy, and some (well, one) are NSFW.



Model and/or photographer provided where I have the information.


Lily Donaldson


ph. Carl Bengtsson




ph. Patrick Demarchelier


You might have fun guessing whether this model is male or female, so name is spoiler'd below (highlight to see).
Kim Peers; female




ph. Bernard Tartinville


Alix Malka


Alana Zimmer, ph. Greg Kade


Natalia Vodianova, ph. Peter Lindbergh


Natalia Vodianova, ph. Peter Lindbergh


Julia Stegner

ph. Denise Grunstein


ph. Denise Grunstein


ph. Craig McDean


Gemma Ward and Du Juan (+ next two)






Unknown


ph. Carl Bengtsson




Natasha Poly (+ next two)





And just for fun...


Yup, I'm an Elyse fan. :X


Haha, I only ended up getting halfway through my archives, alphabetically, before I had to break off. If anyone wants me to continue the theme later, or has suggestions for others, let me know!

I love-love-love the Carl Bengtssons. Nordic, I assume? It has that atmosphere.

I'm not sure where the shooting location is - agree though, the rockiness makes me think Iceland, or else Nova Scotia, maybe Maine. I love that shot! If you'd like the see the rest, the original post is here: http://community.livejournal.com/foto_decadent/1736318.html#cutid1

Everything is gorgeous. I want to be married in this dress:

you have fantastic taste! I seriously doubt I could choose a favorite, it's all too lovely.

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed. :) I always have so much fun putting these posts together because I have soooo many photos that I forget ever having saved half of them, so I get surprises and I get to share prettiness!

Elyse was always my favorite~!

She's hilarious and SO sharp. She's really the only reason I kept on watching the show!

these are so beautiful especially the second and the androgynous one

Glad you enjoyed! I love the androgynous angel set; s/he looks so elegant and strong.

Lovely pictures. Also looked through your earlier post with red-heads (I wasn't a member back then yet), those pictures were very beautiful too, but I was kind of creeped out by the one pic where the model is holding the cat. I just can't keep myself from thinking the cat was stuffed or something, it somehow doesn't look alive.

[info]eluneth

April 13 2009, 23:22:12 UTC 3 years ago

Haha, I do wonder about the cat - I was just thinking about how absurdly difficult it would be to shoot with a live animal at the same time that you're trying to get lighting, hair (since it looks like they were blowing her hair a bit), pose, etc. just right, so I was thinking that it might have been Photoshopped in separately. Although the theme of the shoot was "Allegory," so it kind of works that the cat looks more like a still life than a living animal.

These are so wonderful. I can't imagine what your archives are like. :) Also, the redhead post (I was also not yet a member) was splendid! These are so inspiring!

So glad you enjoyed!! My archives are... enormous, haha. I just checked and I have 612 files (and some of those are zip files of >100 images themselves...), 189 megabytes. It's pretty absurd. And that's after I forced myself to stop actively collecting photos at least half a year ago.

so much beauty! :-)

..I would love to see more, if you'd be so kind as to share!
^_^

thank you for sharing these!

No problem! Would you like to see the same theme continued, or do you have any suggestions for other ones? :)

Nice post! I especially love that second set of pics...they almost looks like paintings.

[info]eluneth

April 13 2009, 23:14:08 UTC 3 years ago

Aren't they fantastic? Definitely one of my favorite ever fashion shoots. I especially like that the model does not have the typical 15-year-old waif look, as much as I'm a guilty fan of that look!

these are lovely! very enchanting.
and also, i'm very pleased to say i guessed correctly on the model. :)
