Shot by the brilliant fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti, “The Rules of Deception” editorial for V Magazine is a minimalist take on deception and sensuality. By 'minimalist,' I mean that the work has been, for the most part, stripped down to its most fundamental features.
For example, Guinevere van Seenus, the model featured here, is almost completely devoid of accessories. Most of her wardrobe (if you can call it that) consists of deliciously sensuous little black pieces, some of which have strong hints of S & M, as seen in image #2 above.
