About a week or so ago, my friend Patrick Shipstad sent me a link to Belgian photographer, Marc Lagrange. I didn’t have the chance to look at it for a couple days, but when I did, I was absolutely floored. His work is just gorgeous; it’s got a unique feel, both in composition and tone, with smatterings of Helmut Newton, Paolo Roversi and maybe a little Ellen von Unwerth, impeccably styled and extraordinarily sexy. Like Newton, Lagrange has an obvious chemistry with his models and his work is a celebration of women, their power, their femininity, their beauty. His work is not restrained by the same aesthetics found in ultra-sharp, overly-slick fashion campaigns and, instead, languishes into a sensuous dream world, where inhibitions give way to fantasy. Models become characters, performing both for the camera and for their own amusement, while we are invited to take the role of privileged voyeur, watching the acts of eroticism and intimacy unfold like a stage play.
