Stewart Sizzles in Michelangelo di Battista Shoot

It certainly has been a while since I've blogged so to start the 're-vamp' of M.A.S.H I've decided to blog this beautiful set of images by renowned fashion photographer Michelangelo di Battista of Kristen Stewart for November 2011 issue of Vogue Italia. She wears designs by Alexander McQueen, Roberto Cavalli, Blumaine, Marchesa to name a few. Well known for her portrayal of Bella in the Twilight Series she certainly oozes gothic vampire sex appeal. Stewart is certainly the one to watch with her highly anticipated new movie being released, Breaking Dawn and also a new trailer for another new film, Snow White and the Huntsman coming out next summer. Although I'm not really a fan of Twilight or the media obsession with Stewart I love how Battista captures her raw simple beauty with a touch of class and mystery. These images are most definitely captivating and atmospheric which I love. I also think the hair and make up is alluring.

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

Photograph of the Day > Alex Pettyfer by Tyler Shields

OK, so I try not to be biased in my 'Photograph of the Day' feature however after viewing the talented and often sexual images of LA based photographer/video maker Tyler Shields I couldn't resist. He has set his trademark in portraiture and fashion photographer where he often snaps Hollywood's rising stars. To some his work is tasteful and arousing, to others exploitive and unnecessary; whatever your view is he simple demands your attention nonetheless. His style is reminiscent of Terry Richardson however I think Shields has his own established style.

 I chose the handsome young actor, Alex Petterfer who has starred in Stormbreaker, Wild Child and upcoming blockbusters, I Am Number Four and Beastly, as I have found him charming since 2007. He hasn't failed to impress as he has also been featured in Burberry campaigns.

I particularly selected this shot as I liked the intensity in his eyes and how his intensity with the camera hasn't been distracted by two blonde models nibbling at him. His torn shirt and wet tousled hair exerts his masculinity which I find exciting and the models adds the glamour. I like the fusion of humour, sexiness and intensity in this shot and Shields has done a great job with this shoot. I also like his use of high contrast in his images.
