Lascivious Leather Editorials

The Gianluca Fontana GQ Turkey Cover Shoot Teases

— December 26, 2012 — Fashion
Leather and bondage are having a great year thanks to the surprise success of E.L. James’s 50 Shades of Grey, and the Gianluca Fontana GQ Turkey December 2012 shoot takes full advantage of that trend with a editorial that stars stunning Turkish actress Nurgül Yeşilçay.

The Gianluca Fontana GQ Turkey December 2012 shoot showcases Yeşilçay in various stages of leather-assisted undress. This Gianluca Fontana GQ Turkey shoot marks Fontana’s first for the publication, and he displays a deft touch for capturing sensuality and beauty. One spectacular shot shows Yeşilçay standing between Roman columns, leaning out of an open window. Her arms are outstretched as she looks off into the distance. The image is powerful and gripping; not only does the photo highlight Yeşilçay’s body and outfit, it showcases the gorgeous location -- Istanbul’s Ciragan Palace Kempinski.

My favourite shot in the Gianluca Fontana GQ Turkey December 2012 editorial features Yeşilçay holding a cigarette, her eyes covered by a sleeping mask and her black, leather dress slightly askew. The shot is alluring, mysterious, and seductive -- a shot and pose completely emblematic of the shoot. Something tells me this won’t be the last time Gianluca Fontana and GQ connect for a shoot.

Industry Implications
1. Fashion Photography - Industry potential for fashion photographers to explore new ways of capturing sensuality and beauty in their shoots, inspired by the Gianluca Fontana GQ Turkey editorial.

3. Luxury Travel and Hospitality - Industry potential to create location-based photo shoots and experiences that showcase luxurious destinations and accommodations, like Istanbul's Ciragan Palace Kempinski.
