photographer to fashion’s forefront

Bruna Kazinoti :: Website :: Representative
Bruna Kazinoti’s name is one we have heard countless times over the past year. Her dark, low key work has appeared in all the underground heroes (Dazed, Qvest, Tank, Pig, etc). Schooled in Antwerp, Bruna is from Split and currently based in Croatia.

Eric Guillemain :: Website
Apparently Eric Guillemain never set out to become a photographer. It was after he started assisting Peter Lindbergh that the passion for photography took over. Despite only shooting full time since 2007, his clean, impeccably lit images seem effortless. We’re hoping that in 2009 Eric will begin shooting more editorial.

Giuseppe Gasparin :: Website :: Representative
Giuseppe Gasparin takes serious fashion photographs but you can’t help but get the feeling that perhaps he doesn’t take fashion too seriously. His direct approach to photography contrasts with the subtle silliness that can be found in his images. His editorial work is like documentation of an elaborate game of dress up, and his portraits, which we particularly love, highlight the odd beauty of the subjects. There is a sense of humour about his work that is never over the top or gimmicky. Gasparin has shot for Rodeo and Crash.

Glynis Selina Arban:: Website
A degree in medieval studies might help explain the whimsical, romantic quality of Glynis Selina Arban’s work. But what we love most about Arban’s photos is her use of muted colour. Though she hasn’t had much published to date, it will be interesting to see what 2009 brings.

Jonas Bresnan :: Website :: Representative
Glamour. Sex. Extravagance. In a sea of new photographers championing neo-grunge and retro irony, Jonas Bresnan is the guy bringing sexy back. His almost monochromatic images amplify the luxury they portray, yet never to the point of tackiness. German-born Jonas has shot for Tush, Grazia and Squint, and is a frequent contributor to Oyster. He’s based in London.

Sebastian Kim :: Website :: Representative
When you launch a full time photographic career after assisting photographers with as much influence and acclaim as Steven Meisel and Richard Avedon, you aren’t going to escape notice. To date Sebastian Kim has shot for Numero, i-D, Mixt(e) and Interview but there is curiously very little hype to be found about him. Stylistically Kim is something of a changeling, so over the next year we will be watching to see how he refines and evolves his work.Copyright © MODELS.com, Inc. 2000-2008. The Ones2Watch
