Photographers as Their Own Muses

Mario Sorrenti Bares All with Kate Moss

Trend Hunter has seen rockers, pop stars, basketball players and fashion designers as models. Now we can add photographers to this growing list.

If you have to pose with someone, supermodel Kate Moss is as good as it gets. That is exactly what famous photographer Mario Sorrenti did on the cover of the Fall / Winter issue of Purple Fashion magazine.

Sorrenti took the picture of himself, bare naked, with a glamorous looking Kate Moss in a ultra-short zipped Balmain dress.

The pose is very intriguing, considering that Kate Moss dated Mario Sorrenti for about a year and a half before he was famous.
