Hello, I Love You.

Who: Stacey Mark

What: photographer, former photo director for Nylon Magazine

Why: duh!

crush of the moment; Ms. Mark.

just check out the hottness-es she captures in that 'just picked up the camera and this is what i got' look. seems like something your man would shoot after hours of messy hairpulling rolling in the sheets.

the lighting is brilliant.

the grain, intoxicating.

this woman is really on her shit. and on the come up. and all the more amazing that she has only been shooting her own photos for a few years now. i guess the saying holds true; You Either Got IT, Or You Dont.

while on a trip to the Toronto Film Festival during her last few years at Nylon, she picked up the camera to shoot actress Asia Argento and the rest was history. Ms. Argento didnt even know that Stacey had never photographed before! [not that that mattered]

inspired by fantasy and playing with her alter-ego, Stacey rarely photographs men- and im not sure that any of you mind. it really seems like she understands the beauty in the imperfections. every woman is beautiful, simply for being a woman [sorry guys, puss-say power!] even while photographing nudity, it never comes off as raunchy, only absolutely enticing, our form, our curves, our delicasies, mmm mmm! and as sexy as these photos are, imagine this: she feels that all her shots are 'self-portraits', only, of other women. hott!
