Looking again, after such a long break, to good, ol' Dazed&Confused makes me feel good because it is simply impossible to go to their site and not find something intriguing, beautiful, experimental.

And here we go with this Russian photographer. I don't know how to approach these photographs from his project titled Crimea Burning. They are absolutely stunning and there is something, I would say magical if that wouldn't be such a vague word, but spiritual would come a bit closer. One can almost read that spirituality between the lines of Maxim's interview. This is obviously my first impression of this artist but I instantly felt like there is much more layers to his work than the ones our eyes are able to capture. I like the concept of connecting individual things with a bigger something.

"It just happens. Or not happens.

I like long processes with surprising results.

Jump in your hollow, my friend. Show

me your waste. Hold on. Take time.

You can't waste it, just be focused.

You can't stop - all you got is now."

OLD POST // LEON MARK

How about an old editorial then?

By the way, I am totally over A. Dunstan! Ha.

I really liked this editorial shot by Leon Mark for Metal Magazine.

Metal Magazine is a mix of fashion and art. Actually, while hanging out at their site I realized it has a quite a lot; books, fashion, films, music etc. So, do take some time to check it out since it looks quite nice! For a background information I can tell that Metal was first published in 2006, it release five issues per year and the magazine is made in Scandinavia, London, Paris, Barcelona and New York.

The photographer, Leon Mark, is a fashion, art and portrait photographer with a nice, soft style. I believe he is based in LDN at the moment and has shot for magazines like Dazed&Confused (another one worth checking out), Vice and The End, to mention a few.

After looking at his work, personally I like the brightness and softness of his pictures and the mood in general. This specific editorial... Well, the model's eyes were just gorgeous and had a nice, deep feeling in them. That is just one of the reasons I decided to put it here.
