Photographer Alexi Lubomirski started out as the assistant to Mario Testino. He became an immediate success after his test shots were spotted and placed by Katie Grand in magazine The Face. He now shoots regularly for many big fashion and art magazines as well ad campaigns for leading designers.

German Vogue- May 2009



I was immediately drawn to his photos in German Vogue for a shoot titled Magic Black, aboveHe had 7 pages and the cover all shot in black white, with the exception of the cover in colour. This particular shoot by Lubomirski was filled with strong and very contrasting silhouettes that caught the eye immediately. I saw that this was a common theme he used throughout many of his campaigns. For example, below is an image from Time Magazine which could almost be mistaken as being a part of the German Vogue shoot.
I find his photography extemely powerful and very unique.
