Leslie Bibb: L’Officiel

I shot this L’Officiel cover of the lovely Leslie Bibb a few months back in a desert just outside of LA. It was a crazy windy day set in a deserted hotel but Leslie was an amazing sport, even donning a fierce white bob (thanks to the sweet and talented John D) and more than a few latex accessories.

I love the stark quality of these photos and the gloomy narrative set inside a sun drenched locale. The clothing was all black with simple shapes and clashing textures and I wanted the make up to reflect these same elements as well, appearing both dramatic and minimal at the same time.
