Whilst in New York I raided Borders in the desire to find inspiration in the magazines not available in the UK. One magazine which really caught my eye was Inked magazine, a men’s magazine (the majority of photos were of scantily clad women) based around tattoos. However I found the whole “look” of the magazine really inspiring, the lighting, the poses. It shows that a men’s magazine can be tastefully done, it doesn’t have to be the typical “tits pushed together, licking her lips, looking into the camera and pulling the porn star face” style of photos that you see in publications such as Nuts and Zoo. I love that each of the girls is shot in a very distinct style, to express the style and personality of each model. The whole aesthetics is very artistic and tasteful, I will definitely use this imagery for my future work, in particular a pin-up girls shoot which I am planning for my next project at uni.
