erwin olaf

remember that 1999 diesel campaign with nuns wearing denim or that old woman grabbing a passed out drunken man's crotch. erwin olaf was behind the flash. since the 80s olaf has put together a collection of masterpieces that will no doubt leave you a lifelong impression. here are a few of my favorites but his portfolio is a must-see! - scratch that, a must-live! thanks sean

Emmanuel Rouzic

delve into emmanuel rouzic's fashion photography. his website certainly allows you to do just that. sleek and clean, i have rarely seen pixalated portfolios this easy to navigate. even the background soundtracks are a must-hear (from archive's 2006 light album). oh, and did i mention emmanuel takes great shots too!

mario sorrenti bis.

once again i give you mario sorrenti in an outstanding shoot of menswear's most electric Spring styles for Vman10.
