MY FAVORITE PHOTO SHOOTS & WHY THEY ARE SUPERIOR

Now when it comes to a photoshoot I’m going to obsses over it for the rest of my life. And with this list of photoshoots it is no different.

Cindy kimberly for En Route jewelry photgraphed by Jack bridgland

Now when it comes to photoshoots and anything photography wise Miss Cindy Kimberly is going to eat it up, and with her recent collaboration with the jewelry brand En Route, she did just that. Shot by Jack bridgland Cindy Kimberly poses in different shots for the collaboration showing off the beautiful designs she created with the brand. What I love so much about this photo shoot in particular is that yes this shoot is for her collaboration with En Route but it can also serve as its own entity. A lot of Jack bridgland’s work is absolutely phenomenal and over time he has become one of my favorite photographers. He has a way of making the person being photographed a different person while still keeping it authentic to them if that makes sense. Jack Henry’s work is something to definitely look out for as it's always something new with him.

Lori Harvey for Instagrams first magazine, The Zine photographed by Coughs

When this shoot dropped with Lori Harvey I was immediately obsessed and when I came to the realization that it was shot by Coughs I became even more enamored by it. For Instagrams The Zine, Lori Harvey is shot by Coughs is my most recent favorite photographer and overl digital artist. I would describe Cough's work in five words: killer, insane, dope, artistic, and nostalgic. A lot of Cough's work is beautifully exaggerated and nostalgic as it brings a call back to the early 2000s and the funky fun ads that would be published in magazines during that time. She is absolutely killing and to see a woman doing what she does in the best way is nothing but amazing. I've only just discovered her work however I never realized how much of it I have already been exposed to which is such an amazing thing to discover as now I can put a name behind the amazing art I see on my timeline.

Dakota Johnson for Allure Magazine (2018), photographed by Petra Collins

Dakota Johnson, that's it. Anything with Dakota I love without a doubt and this Allure shoot is one of them. Shot by Petra Collins Dakota Johnson graces the cover of Allure magazine (2018), Dakota stuns in a mystical fairy like atmosphere that has had me in a chokehold since 2018. Dakota looks so soft and femine in this shoot that it made the atmosphere of the shoot itself feel alluring, no pun intended. This shoot was the first shoot by Petra Collins to grab my attention as I loved the way the photoshoot was shot as it was something that I had never seen quite like before. I remember seeing this shot and thinking ‘oh my god who shot this? I need to know’, from then on I have been obsessed with Petra Collins' work and her artistic ability to make anything magical and fairy like.

Alexa Demie for Fairytales photographed by Petra Collins

Another Petra Collins photoshoot we have here, which I absolutely love and cherish as I myself own this book, ‘Fairytales’ by both Alexa Demie and Petra Collins. This entire body of work is an absolute masterpiece as we see the stunning Alexa Demie be transformed within the world of Petra Collins. As a mermaid, a fairy, and an angel, Alexa Demie truly shows that she is in fact a chameleon and takes on many different roles. This body of work shot by Petra Collins is what made me fall deeper in love with Petra and her artistry. It's just something about the magical freedom to do whatever you want that makes my love for her and her work blossom even more.

Robert Pattinson for GQ magazine photographed by Jack bridgland

Lately when it comes to editorial shoots there has been a lack of storytelling and a lack of creativity, so when the february GQ cover dropped with Robert Pattinson on the cover looking like a rock star I gasped. Coming off one of the most defining roles of his career playing Batman, this cover story was the most perfect thing I have ever seen in a long time within editorial. Shot by Jack bridgland , again he does such an amazing job at taking a person and showcasing them in a new light while still keeping the person in their authenticity. This shoot is insane in the best way and is one of my favorite covers to drop this year alone so kudos to Jack bridgland and Robert Pattinson.

Zendaya for Essence magazine (2020), photographed by AB+DM

Zendaya, the girl that quite literally pulls anything off. She’s such a star that it's not unbelievable that not can she act, sing and dance but she can model. Quite honestly if Zendaya took on a modeling career a lot these girls would be in shambles, it's just a fact. But anyway back to one of my favorite photo shoots of miss Zendaya is her beautifully shot cover for Essence magazine. Shot by AB+DM, this shoot inspired by Donyale Luna is one of the most beautifully shot cover stories I have ever seen. Not only is the reference spot on but the beauty behind it is what makes this shot so special to me. I have always had a love and a little obsession with Donyale Luna and her work back in the 60s so seeing her impact being referenced with Zendaya was such a moment for not only me but countless others who know of Miss Donyale Luna.
