Greg Kadel - Photographer

[Hana_N]

American photographer born and raised in Philadelphia.
I don't quite know how to describe his photography but I think it's beautiful. The ones out in the nature are very romantic and sweet-looking to me, maybe not the right choice of words... anyways some pictures.
And this is his website... www.gregkadelstudios.com

From Harper's Bazaar...

Of his photography I definately prefer those in the nature, they seem to have more atmosphere to me.

The lovely Hermes ads.

i definetly like the natural ones better..the ones from harpers i find really boring.

I like the first ones posted very much.

hm...there are some that i like but when i see greg kadel's pictures i always think "kitsch"...not ironic kitsch but plain prettiness and also i get a feeling of exploitation of sexiness...maybe it's just me.
thanks for the thread anyway it#s good to think about why one likes or dislikes certain images...

I really like his photography...especially the Hermes campaign with Gemma.

I too find that most of his photography can be a bit too plain, but he's very consistent, he's far from being my favourite, but I think he's good.

Here are some from Numero.

apparently he was a model at one time...

i think he might be better at shooting men than women...

I love his outdoor shoots.

(And the video of Nicole T. )

I love Greg's work, especially the shoots he does for Numéro, he has the glamour of Steven Meisel, the sexiness of Nick Knight and very nice use of colours. Wonderful!

I love the first set ...shot in nature......they have a spiritual kind of glow to them that I find quite enchanting.

I really like the male shots aswell. Thanks for posting...great topic

I think Greg is one of those photographers that was always billed as "the next" something and never really went anywhere. He's been shooting for the same B-list mags for ages now. That Bazaar shoot is atrocious and so dull. But the Numero ones aren't that bad.

Some of the menswear shoots he's done for Numero Homme are my absolute faves - the women's shoots I don't care much for but I like how he shoots guys B)

^those are so... rich.

thanks for the pictures, stilista (i've been missing you in this forum!!)
i, too, prefer the men's depiction much too the women's ... he is working with clichés anyway but while i feel he only represents them in the women's photography, there is a sense of irony in the men's ...

You're welcome Anna Thanks for missing me I'm back with lots of new photographers in my head to post about!

I didn't like the Hermes shoot at all, I thought it was dull. However, the rest of his work seems really 'in your face.' The best is his video of Rianne.

I don't like the outside shoot either and Hermès' campaign is one you either love or hate, a bit on the safe side perhaps. But his Numéro ones are usually beautiful (maybe also thanks to the team that works there, styling and make-up are essential of course). By far a B magazine, I'd rather place it in the top three magazines list.

I like his style!!! Here's Daria
