Eerily Sensual Photography

The Uliana by Grant Thomas Vaga Magazine 2 Shoot is Dark and Dreamy

— August 20, 2011 — Fashion
The Uliana by Grant Thomas Vaga Magazine #2 Summer 2011 editorial serves as a strong example of the power of monochrome to establish a moody theme in a shoot.

The Grant Thomas Vaga Magazine #2 Summer 2011 editorial is one of the biggest coups in the very short career of the 18-year-old Welsh shutterbug, and he takes full advantage of his opportunity. He captures Uliana looking mysterious, sullen, and sexy in a variety of different settings, including seated on a swingset, walking in the middle of an empty street, and posed seductively against a wall in a residential neighborhood.

My favorite shot in the Uliana by Grant Thomas Vaga Magazine #2 Summer 2011 shoot features Uliana indoors and seated, her hands up in a position that looks ready to type. She gives the camera an alluring and mysterious gaze, her mouth slightly agape. It is one of the most naturally beautiful shots I have seen in months of sifting through fashion photography.

If this editorial is any indication, Grant Thomas has an incredibly bright future in the fashion world.
