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/

FrizzyCube!

International photographer and artistic Genius (a word never to be used lightly), FrizzyCube enticed me to view his work, and goodness me did I want to stay and browse! Each picture is an artwork, exploding with colour, passion and creativity.

I am particularly drawn to this shot, a melting pot of Barbie-esque Lady Godiva riding a bright-eyed My Little Pony! When written it sounds like a disaster, but when viewed it's a real pleasure!

I'm intrigued by the thought process and in awe of the result. To learn more about Neil Nakahara (FrizzyCube) and his work visit his official site: www.frizzycube.com or www.modelymayhem.com/99

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!

A winning smile!

It came to my attention that my blog was lacking something...smiles! Although I am certainly a fan of the pout, you simply can't beat the infectious glow that radiates from a truly happy face.

Searching for such a smile proved more challenging than expected, however a Google Image Search of Elle Macpherson suggests that she is perchance one of the world's happiest models!

With her fresh faced beauty she proves that a smile is the perfect accessory to swimwear!

I'd love to acknowledge the photographer in this post, but sadly do not know who took the shot - if you know, please get in touch.

Full of soul...

I'm thrilled to have found the work of Polina Viljun on Model Mayhem and really admire her soulful portraits, in particular the above shot of model, Egija.

Hailing from Latvia, Polina certainly has the ability to draw emotion and intensity into her work.

I also appreciate Polina's philosophy regarding working with models, read for yourself: www.modelmayhem.com/221814
