Using a real zebra -- or dinosaur -- as a prop in an editorial can be quite dangerous, which is perhaps why photographer Rafael Stahelin chose to use blow-up versions in the Myf Sheperd 'Superhelden' spread for L'Officiel NL.
This shoot for the magazine's October 2011 issue features the stunning model Myf Sheperd holding onto inflatable creatures, including the afforementioned zebra and dinosaur, as well as a shark, Spiderman and SpongeBob SquarePants. An adorable photo series, the Myf Sheperd 'Superhelden' (which is German for "superhero") editorial showcases some stunning fall fashions from the likes of Mulberry and Maison Martin Margiela. Styles include a camel coat and trouser ensemble, a gorgeous red pencil skirt and matching stockings and a cozy navy fur jacket.
The Myf Sheperd 'Superhelden' shoot features styling by Ye Young Kim, makeup by Tyron Machhausen and hair by Fernando Torrent.
