Photograph of the Day > Alexander Skarsgård by Steven Klein


Was getting my daily feed of hot guys at homotography.blogspot.com and was utterly captivated by Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgard in this wonderfully sexy shoot by the one-and-only Steven Klein. I must admit when I saw him in Lady Gaga's Paparazzi music video 2 years ago I wasn't completely sold by the guy however after watching True Blood (OMG his acting and mere presence is a pleasure to watch!) and now seeing this incredible shoot I am blown away! It's been a while since I've done 'Photograph of the Day' and this shoot is most deserving of that title... plus what better photograph to get me back in my regular features! The True Blood star is styled by Karl Templer and is photographed for the June/July issue of Interview magazine. He is joined by model Crystal Renn. I wish I could get my hands on this magazine where I live so if you can.. get it! :D

The Naked Violence by Mert & Marcus ft. Naomi Campbell


So I had posted this entry before however I accidentally deleted this, so I'm posting again. :(
I love these photos by talented duo, Mert & Marcus of Naomi Campbell. I'm not too keen on Campbell however she looks stunning here. The storyline is also very intriguing, brutal yet strangely sexy. This is something you would see from Steven Klein however M&M have embraced sex & violence into fashion. The concept was Russian-Mafia inspired and you can see positions of torture but also sensuality. Like the photo below, a naked bloody man looks like his neck is dislocated but between Campbell's legs. The setting is also amazing and the dark teal/turquoise tones adds to the atmosphere. The angles are very interesting and would be one of the best editorials from Interview Magazine this year.

Photograph of the Day > Lady Gaga & Marc Jacobs by Mario Testino

I love this picture of Lady Gaga and Marc Jacobs! Lady Gaga's humorous yet lovable expression and Marc Jacobs 'fed up' look with pushing Gaga in a trolley! Testino certainly knows how to capture wonderful atypical portrait shots. I also love Gaga's shoes, it's a wonder how she can walk in them! 
This was shot for the 67th issue of V called The New York Issue by marvellous photographer Mario Testino and wonderful stylist Nicoloa Formichetti. This shoot features 26 inspiring New Yorkers from the likes of Tyson Ballou, Jake Shears, Debbie Harry, Mark Ronson, Chloe Sevigny amongst many other famous names. Wish I could get V Magazine where I live! I love New York, I'm certainly going back there again!

Sexy Mannequin Shots of Megan Fox by Craig McDean

Not your typical fashion shoot! But when is great fashion photography ever typical!? These awesome shots of Megan Fox by amazing photographer Craig McDean are certainly captivating, sexy and demands your attention. Fox oozes sex appeal and wasn't hard to capture this side to her however Craig McDean adds an interesting narrative to this which makes these images more than photos you'd gaze upon in awe.


Her expression is angelic yet sultry; how does she do this!?!

Watch the short video to this editorial by Craig McDean, music by Charlotte Gainsbourg, for Interview Magazine.


I love this shoot especially photo below. Megan Fox certainly looks sexy here, but two Mrs Foxs is double the fun. Although this may be a playful, sensual image there is an underlying message to this; confrontation with oneself and facing up to 'who you are'. She holds the mannequin's replica of her own face with force and anger however there is sexual tension? Also the mannequin's wrists has chains on holding black rubber gloves suggesting a BDSM element. intensifying the sexual content.

The dominatrix jet black bob, porcelain skin and luscious red lips makes this shoot charged with sexual energy.


She's spooning herself!?!

And straddling herself!?!


This shoot uses a lot of underlying sexual content!

Plays on vanity; does she love or hate herself?


Is she secretly obsessed with herself. She holds her own hand as if she needs comfort or longing lust.

She goes on top and blindfolds herself!?!


I love the styling, fashion and make up. This is one of the best Interview editorials I've seen. Shot for June/July 2010 issue.

Only Lady Gaga can make Raw Meat look Fashionable!

Lady Gaga is my hero! Photographed by the famous awesome Terry Richardson.


Raw meat?!?! She really pushes fashion and photography to the extreme! To be able to do this is extraordinary and iconic. This cover shall certainly be remembered as one of the most 'gutsy' magazine covers for 2010, if not this decade!

Looks like Vogue Hommes Japan REALLY love Lady Gaga as she recently did a photo shoot/cover where she looked like a man (under the name of  Jo Calderone) Check out more from that shoot here.
