In Julia Field's 'Model of the Week' photo shoot for Tush Magazine, soft femininity is abandoned in favor of cool, brooding glares.
Dressed in vibrant vintage-inspired outfits, including a cute yellow sweater and a purple pin-up girl bathing suit, Field stares into the camera with an intensity and fierceness that stops viewers in their tracks. Combined with Lea Nielsen's fantastic photography, which uses top-lighting to make Field's face stand out even more and over-saturated colors to make the entire editorial pop, Field is a model that deserves a second look.
Her pouting expressions and narrowed eyes create a femme fatale persona, or perhaps an unhappy housewife. Either way, these photos tell a striking story; one that would not be possible without the stunning talents of Field, Nielsen and the whole Tush Magazine team.
