an edit, an update, and new information

previously, a post was made regarding a person using the moniker Peterpunk

a couple photos were attached to the post. i was utterly taken back by one of them in particular. Peterpunk advised that though the photo was found on his site, he did not take the photo. nearly two months have gone by since then and i randomly came across the actual photographer, Marco Guerra. the image was part of a series taken for the World Gold Council.

Marco Guerra:
Marco Guerra is a New York based fashion photographer, originally from Chile. His work has been published in Conde Nast Traveller, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Black Book, the New Yorker Magazine, and other Publications.

Check his site for other work.. i am really partial to his work for Conde Nast Traveler as well, it is gorgeous . see below for a couple examples:

more work also in a recent collaboration:

photos are done by Guerra and ink work is done by Yasmina Alaoui

Yasmina Alaoui is of French and Moroccan descent. She has studied Fine Arts at the Louvre in Paris, and earned a BA in
Sculpture from William and Mary.

“Artist Yasmina Alaoui and photographer Marco Guerra love to tantalize their audience. In their life-sized
photographic series “one thousand and one dreams”, statuesque bodies apear frozen in time, covered from head to toe in meticulously detailed, contemporary Arabic Henna patters. Captivated by the realism and sculptural quality of each human form, the viewer becomes lost in an illusion. Each artwork begins with a black and white nude photograph by Guerra. Layers of Alaoui’s complex ink drawings are then fused with the portrait, with breathtaking results. Originally from Chile and Morocco respectively, the couple were inspired by the Thousand and ONe Nights - a legendary collection of tales from the Middle east - and the magic surrealism of South American literature. “

the RGB color hue for the pink they chose..

Video: “Pink” by Charlie White
Music: “Made” by Greg Weeks

Apparently, Adidas has a new promo going full swing called “AdiColor”. They have let different artists throw together short films that focus on a specific color as a theme. notice all the other colors on the left hand side of the website. each it located at a similarly named domain, referencing their RGB value.

i really enjoyed the red, pink , green, and especially black. pink was the favorite though.

The video for Yellow is pretty sweet too, i had seen it before but didnt realise how it was related to the rest of these.
