Photographer Greg Lotus‘ work can be found regularly in the pages of Italian Vogue, American Vanity Fair, GQ, L’Uomo Vogue, and W magazine.

Aside from his editorial work for major American and European publications, Lotus has shot advertising campaigns for Escada, L’Oreal, Swarovski, Cartier, Levi’s, Neiman Marcus and Van Cleef & Arpels.

 

 

His celebrity portfolio is equally extensive, including the likes of Penelope Cruz, Katy Perry, Rose Byrne, Milla Jovovich, Eva Longoria, Anna Kendrick, Pierce Brosnan, Monica Bellucci, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Chris Brown, Mary J. Blige, Gus Van Sant, Paul Bettany, Channing Tatum, Elizabeth Hurley, Jane Lynch, Chloe Sevigny and Isabelle Adjani among others.

Drawing inspiration from classical paintings and a wide array of sources and life experiences, Lotus reinterprets in his own evocative way the use of light and shadow, playing with angles and composition to enhance the graphic quality of his images.

 

 

Nature is a recurrent motif in his photography, a clear echo of his childhood. Lotus often mixes high fashion with rural or wild surroundings and includes exotic animals in his compositions, using elements that link the rarefied atmosphere of the fashion industry to the organic beauty of the natural world.

In 2011, Greg Lotus presented “IMPRESSIONS”, the first solo exhibition of his photographic works, in New York City. The 34 pieces featured in the show represent highlights from his 20-year career.

Currently, Lotus splits his time between Manhattan, Paris and Miami, travelling frequently on assignment to Europe and anywhere else his craft might take him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rihanna is no stranger to the Vogue empire, from my count this is her third trip to grace the pages of a Vogue. However I am never bashful at saying Rihanna is the one of the baddest females artist or models on the planet, but do we have to look half white to get pages. The Blonde although hot bothers me a lil bit, but hey that is just my opinion she still killed it.
