Matt, that's Saskia de Brauw.

Casting was perfection. And so was the makeup. ;)

Thanks, great find! I like her in the 'Before' state very much too, but in that particular black and white series you first posted, particularly in the last image of her with legs crossed and hands behind head, she seems to be in a kind of essential perfection.

Unfortunately the outsourced photoshop post-processing is a hit-and-miss.

I think Saskia is a fantastic model. It's also nice to see that someone who's not fresh out of middle school can make it big in this industry (I think she is over 30).

As for Mert & Marcus, the heavy use of photoshop is kind of their signature style. I like most of their work but sometimes they are a bit too reminiscent of other photographers (especially Newton, they also really ripped off Jeff Bark for one of their editorals).

On with the show:

Kristen McMenamy by Tim Walker for Love Magazine

I love love love the work of Paolo Roversi, especially his shots with Guinevere Van Seenus.

Soo. Good.
