Bregje Heinen Models Real Life for Vogue Japan July 2011

Fashion model Bregje Heinen poses for the Vogue Japan July 2011 edition in a fashion spread titled ‘Have and have not.’ This beautiful editorial is stunning and thought provoking. The contrast between the photos really demonstrates the difference an emotion or object can make in someone’s life.

The exaggerated facial expressions and modeling is perfect for this particular dramatic photo shoot, setting a tone of seriousness in the Vogue Japan July 2011 issue. Some of the photos leave less room for ambiguity; for example, life as a smoker and life without cigarettes. The photos that were particularly grabbing were not the objects, but the emotionally charged pictures that photographer Isabelle Bonjean seems to capture effortlessly. Bregje Heinen does an excellent job portraying the two-sided nature of life and the parallels that can exist, making the Vogue Japan July 2011 issue a must have.
