Greg Kadel is no stranger to fashion photography, one visit to his website gives you an idea of his breadth and scope. These photos are striking, racy, and edgy; they remind me of a more provoking spread in POP magazine last year (I'll track it down).

The soft tones within the atmosphere coupled with innocence and piety, juxtaposed with the bold/raw outfits and makeup partnered with sexuality, create a duality that is loud and rebellious, and tame and conservative all at once. Great use of lighting, color, perceptive, and fashion.

Henrik Bülow covers a wide range of styles that usually features a progressive fashion-forward aesthetic. But it was these shots of Christel that caught my eye, perhaps because they are so stark, pale, dull. I think of the future, isolation and concrete; we are all together but very alone.

Not sure why I have never really paid attention to Panoramio; the Googlemap photo mashup service. I realized the other day, while trying to identify an abandoned soviet town up for auction, how amazing the photography is in this little web service. It's clear that professional photographers use this to get their photos out there, but don't expect just basic landscapes, this service is full of thoughtful, intentioned, mysterious photography. Expect to spend time flipping through worlds you may never get to see in person.
