London based fashion photographer Gemma Booth has been shooting professionally for about 10 years, and her work has been published in publications such as Japanese Vogue, i-D, Jalouse, Nylon and Lula. She says she’s inspired by stories, old photos, films, books and exhibitions: “- they can all inspire, but sometimes it just comes from within, from a dream or memory.”

Gemma mentions that she’s currently working on a photography and film project, without wanting to reveal too much. So keep an eye on her, exciting things are to come. And I will of course keep you updated.

The following selection of Gemma’s photos contains commercial work for clients such as Chanel, ROXY, and American Eagle, and selected pieces from her many wonderful editorials:

Katja Rahlwes has been in the fashion business for decades, and started her career as a professional fashion stylist in 1995 after having studied Fashion Design at Studio Bercot in Paris. In 1998 she became chief-fashion editor and photo-editor at BIBA, a major market fashion magazine in Paris. At the same time, she continued to expand her vision as an independent stylist with magazines like Dutch, i-D, Dazed and Confused, Made in USA, Vogue Japan, Index and others. Throughout those years at BIBA she would live a parallel life as a professional stylist and part-time photographer. She said it was, “like having a husband and a lover.” In the first years she mainly shot women she wanted to meet and spend time with. Photography had a very important impact on Rahlwes, and made her feel free and independent in her work. [Wikipedia]

Now you can see her work in magazines like French Vogue, Vogue Nippon, Vogue US, Self Service, Purple fashion, i-D, etc. And she has done work for clients such as Gucci, Miu Miu, Chloé, A.P.C., Martin Margiela, Hysteric Glamour, Levi’s, and others.

Bottom line, her photos are great, here’s a taste of her work:

Dutch photographer Matthias Vriens is some kind of a wonder man within the fashion industry. Besides having shot editorials for Another Magazine, Men’s Vogue, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, New York Times Magazine, Vogue Homme, Numéro, Japanese Vogue, Russian Vogue, GQ, Pop, V Magazine, Interview and Details, he has done ad campaigns for a lot of big clients, and he has been the Editor-in-Chief of Dutch Magazine, Creative Director of Giorgio Armani and Senior Art Director at Gucci Group. Amazing.

His photography is somewhat erotic, with a touch of glamour.

First up, his famous SS09 Guess by Marciano ad campaign, starring models Emily Didonato and Cory Bond. After that a selection of his other work.
