Red Models Strike ‘Funny Face' for Jon Malinowski

While it’s common to see pictures of people goofing off and making funny faces, it is rare to have professional models doing that. Models are often asked to look melancholy and sad in fashion shoots. But that is not the case in these photos of professional models from Red Model Management by photographer Jon Malinowski.

The models strike silly and goofy faces for photographer Jon Malinowski in a bid to present themselves in a fun and fresh way.

The photos in the gallery are fun outtakes from a shoot by Malinowski for a special feature on Red Models in 10+ magazine.

I hope this starts to become a trend in fashion photography. It would be nice to look at a smiling face every now and then in the high fashion publications.
