‘Slashers’ is an editorial story
featured in the latest issue of OUT Magazine. The story is portrayed by Parker Gregory a story that is told of that need to be multiple people with many
roles to survive the lifestyle the lifestyle in Beverly Hills. World class
photographer, Mariano Vivanco, is behind the lens of this editorial and
captures this charming tale.
I really like the concept to this
shoot. The story seems viable and realistic which in my opinion I think
resonates stronger in menswear editorial. I think this because of what
we have become accustom to within our menswear media. Our photo shoots in
magazines such as GQ and Esquire don't use the same fantasy that it's female
counterparts have. Admittedly, GQ Style and L'Officiel Homme do hold that
envisioning ideology but when you think of the Men's magazine stand at the
local store the everyday man isn't looking for surrealism but for
reality.
I find the colours of this shoot very
captivating. They are light and inviting but not feminine; with those muted
tones of green, burnt orange, grey working remarkably with the sunlight. A
credit to the detailed vision of Vivanco.
Grant L Woodhead portays a great
narrative through his styling choices. As I mentioned the colours in the above
paragraph the majority of these come from the clothing. Each looks plays the
role in portraying the characters of the story. The all grey shopping look is
my favourite.
Andy LeComplete and Nicki Mnray have
done an outstanding job with the hair and makeup. And my final thought, who
ever decided to add those dogs was genius; awesome ways to stop the shots looks
static and add texture.
