Hot and heavy

Remaining in the vein of yesterday's editorial choice I've decided to pick another editorial which reminds me of Nigeria. So here were are with an editorial from Numero magazine titled 'Veneneuse and shot by Greg Kadel and featuring one of my FAVORITE models, Malgosia Bela. I feel like you can just feel the heat radiating off the pages and I love it!

More Karim Sadli, but not creepy this time

Just by way of a comparator this another editorial shot by Karim Sadli for the April 2011 issue of ID Magazine, the editorial is called 'Shine' and features the effervescent Malgosia Bela. 

I adore the color palette and it is obviously similar to the last post (his editorial in the fall/ winter 2010 issue of Candy Magazine). The similarity is interesting due in part to the fact that a year separates these two editorials but also because this is again VERY Camilla Akrans esque (and not in a bad way). While the palette may remind me of her there is far more tension in his shots and I think it makes them slightly more interesting in terms of the actual presence of the clothing (which I feel sometimes gets forgotten with the prevalence of nudity, or at least semi nudity in most current editorials.... lest we forget it's really the clothes we want to see!). 

I also feel like I can see some of the influence of his background with mostly male editorials in the posing. Malgosia does not appear overtly feminine in her posing but there's a quiet confidence in the body language and an almost rogueish dissonance to the clothing modelled, which considering it's almost hyper femininity contributes to the tension within the shots.

 Again, I would love to see him do some more work with female models. I also am a HUGE fan of the styling which is courtesy of Marc Lopez.
