King of the Magicians...

There are those rare occasions when you are so captivated by someones work that you have to post immediately; as you may have guessed this is one of those...

Presenting Gregory Michael King, a London based photographer who professes "photography is about illusion, and he is the magician."

Magical work indeed, with an outstanding ability to work with both the fresh and the dark.

I've selected this image to share with you for its soft, alluring appeal.

Midnight at the Oasis...

Regular followers will know I'm not adverse to duplicating mentions of much loved talent, including that of Midnight Express / Philip'e - a shining star.

I couldn't not share this masterpiece; the texture, the colour, what's not to love...

The Miranda Obsession!

Irina is still high on my list of the supers, however Miranda Kerr is becoming my new obsession! A Victoria's Secret Angel & extremely radiant beauty; her natural glow exudes through in each of her photos. I also admire her philosophies towards health - an advocate for yoga, meditation and an organic lifestyle, Miranda comes across as a very positive role model. A real inspiration!

I'd love to credit the photographer, but sadly don't know who he/she is. However I did find the above image on Photobucket.com. Miranda has a new website coming soon: http://www.mirandakerr.net/

A stunning reality!

I'm always on the look out for new inspiration for my blog and MM's Picture of the Day provided just the thing; the work of Karelea, a female photographer who resides in Seattle. Karelea's work blurs the boundaries between fact and fantasy; outstanding models enhanced to an an almost doll-like reality.

Impeccable talent...

Back in October I wrote of the amazing Midnight Express, with talent that incorporates not only photography, but hair and make-up as well. Well now I bring you the work of Yolanda Kingdon of Key Photography; Yolanda's expansive talents stretch to photography, make-up artistry, styling, modelling and retouching; all in all a human fashion machine! Her style is bold, yet flexible, allowing her to create images from high fashion to commercial glamour.

I'm thrilled to have booked Yolanda for a shoot in April, and am sure her magic will enhance my portfolio no end.

Check out all of her MM pages from the following: www.modelmayhem.com/415238 and don't forget to look at her website: www.keyphotography.co.uk

The Gorgeous Eva!

I'm thrilled that Desperate Housewives has finally returned to the UK screens, how long I have waited! It's a show that makes me want to up the glamour stakes, the type of programme you must paint you nails to! The stunning Eva Longoria-Parker is particularly inspiring, of course ignoring last season's fat suits and no make-up look, she is ever the svelte, glossily groomed housewife. So today's post pays homage to her sexy self! This image was taken from a Mexican GQ shoot, I don't know the photographer's name - if you do, please let me know!

Enjoy!

Paul White!

London based Paul White is a true talent, capable of producing both the finest fashion and wedding work. (Something that many don't successfully achieve) I'm extremely lucky to have Paul booked for my forthcoming wedding in 2010. Not only is he talented, he's down-to-earth to boot. I particularly love this beauty shot.

Victoria Beckham - A Modern Icon

Victoria Beckham's image has been synonymous with modern fashion - accessible to the world and keen to please. I'm sure everyone has had the opportunity to admire Victoria's amazing work for the recent Armani campaign.

A shot I was keen to share with you, but have struggled to find online is an older VB shot, taken for the book 4 Inches by Elton John. (A celebration of female bodies & shoes - fabulous!) It's a rare shot capturing Victoria smiling and it appears to be barely touched by the airbrush. Hopefully this link will work: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v197/tinker2/shoes/victoria_4inches.jpg

The shot for 4 Inches was taken by Vanessa Von Zitzewitz; admire more of her work at: http://www.vanessavonzitzewitz.com/

Let's start with a great...Rankin!

Not on Model Mayhem, Rankin is simply one of the most iconic photographers of our day. I admire so much of his work and in particular I adore his lingerie shots. (Visit http://www.rankin.co.uk/ for more).

I've chosen this particular picture as it's one I'm inspired to replicate; I love the bedhead hair, the cheeky look in the eye and the use of black and white.

All in all a fantastic shot of a wonderful model!
