Rukiya's World: Something New - Vogue Africa

Lately , photographer Mario Epanya has been photographing models each month and creating a new (faux) VOGUE AFRICA cover.

He's not the only one rooting for a African Vogue! With the Vogue family extended to Greece, China, Mexico, Korea and Russia - why not introduce the world to the fabulous fashions of the motherland. Africa definitely has a lot to offer and would bring some much needed diversity to the Vogue enterprise.

SNAPSHOT: The Fashion Photography of Don Brodie

One of my co-workers is getting married in October and turned me on to her amazing photographer, Don Brodie. He is a good friend of the groom. Isn't it great to have an amazing photographer as your friend? So he is gladly shooting their fall wedding in Vermont. But Don's day job is fashion photographer extraordinaire. He has such a great eye and makes you feel something when you look at his work. His images are surreal and a little haunting. He seems to expose little secrets about his subjects in these shots. Here are my favorites images from his portfolio.
