Photographer of the Month: Laurie Bartley

Born in 1977, British fashion photographer Laurie Bartley, got his start when he got involved with magazines like The Face, Dazed & Confused and Pop. I remember first noticing his work in a sauna themed editorial in Vogue UK May 2005 issue, and later again in November's Vogue China spread with Sasha Pivarova.

Laurie has the ability to light a scene so naturally that the ambiance is not lost but the subject still pops out of the scene. His lighting is brilliant! He embraces a cinematic approach that brings a mysterious sensibility to fashion photography.
