Feature Friday: Mark Seliger

Another Vanity Fair photographer this week! Btw, have you seen Annie Leibovitz's photos of Tiger in this month's issue?

This week I set sights on one of my favorite photographers, Mark Seliger.


I found out about the amazing Mark Seliger while browsing Vanity Fair. I got started on it when a friend of mine YMd me on a spread he did. Looked him up, and loved everything I saw. I know it sometimes sounds silly to say that "each shot tells so much", because that's exactly how it's supposed to be, but it really is. On some of his shots, it's almost like a frame taken off an entire movie.








What I do love the most are his black and white photos. I find them most appealing in the bunch. Not that his colored photographs aren't great, I just have a thing for monochromatic portraits, and his are ultimately stunning.



You'd think it's easy to pull off any of these shots photographers like him can pull of, but it's not. And that's what I like about it. Check out his website (link below) for more of his awesome works.
