This might be interesting....
Luchford on how the Hana S shoot was done....

a friend told me to look at this and i find it really interesting,ill try and answer your question,i shot on digtal lightphaze h25,which i love and use all the time,even for large billboards its good, all the lights are film lights all tungsten,didos,1ks 2ks,allot of difussion.and most important dimmer switches on all lights to bring everything into balance,i cant remember exactly as it was a while ago but there is probably about 20 lights making up this shot,the background is made of silk and blown through a wind machine wich i took from a picture of a communist rally in russia on a windy day! the big problem was to bring the background and make it flow with the foreground so the model dosnt look stuck on, her hair isnt blowing! i have a good hair guy that makes it look like that,its actually stiff with hairspray, i used red gels on the lights that spread through the background and onto the model which made the connections and made it feel whole,for images this soft i wou;ld stay away from flash, i think i shot it on a mamiya and about 1/8 sec or poss 1/15 no more,thats about all i can recall, good luck, i hope it works out, glen luchford.

i love that shoot with gemma! granted, i dont think it's ideal to show off the clothes, but the photos themselves are excellent imo.

I love the gloom pics, the way the light diffuses into his pics is brilliant

Oh me too. I love some of his work, especially with Natalia and Gemma! And the Chloe Sevigny one is nice too. My current avatar is from one of his editorials I think.

love him! really has his own recognizable style.

 

[OriginalSin]

^ definitely! His use of lighting is recognizable time and again. I know some people find it repetitive but I absolutely adore it as his signature. His images just have a wonderfully ethereal quality about them.

maybe i should have bought this issue

 

[mikel]

he is an amazing photographer.

 

[OriginalSin]

A Charming Blend was originally scanned by our lovely Faith actually But thank you for posting it here! I just recently got that issue of Vogue Italia and it's even more beautiful in print Maybe you could get it on ebay kasper! or I could check Around the World for you and see if they still have copies

Anyway, thank you also for City Slick! It's great to see his older work and compare it to his style now. It's very different obviously. Does anyone know when his work started looking more the way it does now?
