Fashion photographer Christos Karantzolas is the man behind the editorial spread for Schon! magazine featuring albino model Stephen Thompson. The fashion community is constantly looking for different in terms of a non-standard notion of beauty and Stephen Thompson does an excellent job of filling that void. His looks are so striking and alluring. This collection of photos titled 'White Out' utilizes the models pale complexion and hair to work with the white back drop and white clothes.
In spite of the overwhelming amount of white and brightness, I still find myself drawn to the pictures. Christos Karantzolas captures the spirit and purity that remains once something is drained of all its color and shows us how beautiful it can be.
