Warsaw-based fashion photographer Maciej Boryna's recent work for Soul Magazine is anything but pedestrian. Often times, a magazine cover will catch one's eye, then promptly fade into the background. That is most definitely not the case with these photographs.
In terms of clothing, the looks range from high-end fashion to eccentric costumes. Yet whatever the tone, each photograph has a definite David Bowie-Ziggy Startdust feel to it. Much of this is due to the work of stylist and make up artist Annia Rozga, who has styled model Jaquelline (D'Vision) in such a way as to affect an androgynous look similar to that found in the cover art of Bowie's iconic album.
Even if these looks are not one's cup of tea, they will catch one's eye.
