I have seen various examples of balloons being used in editorial and fashion shoots, but the images in the gallery above are by far the best I have seen.
Quirky and cool, the ‘Magic of Colours’ editorial shot by Sølve Sundsbø for Vogue China totally complements the clothing and works brilliantly in delivering some really striking images. I love the sixth image in particular, with the red long balloons peeking around the hem of the model’s dress—strangely compelling.
