Authenticity and personal style are prevalent in these July 2016 editorial that range from androgynous beauty portraits to supermodel shoots that capture an honest moment in time. In addition to the pared down celebrity editorials and vibrant beach photoshoots, other standouts include suburban rebel photographs and fashion stories that center around elderly style icons in Nairobi's hip hop community.
Breaking the mold, these July 2016 editorial features celebrate unique styling and unconventional clothing picks that are showcased with a myriad of interesting photo imaging techniques. While the month's candid imagery takes on a nostalgic aesthetic that is evocative of vintage and low-fi photos, the month's digitally altered portraits are more expressive when it comes to color.
Standouts include chromatic shoots that evoke a cinematic look and feel along with conceptual makeup editorials that fuse vivid cosmetics with backdrops and props that are equally as loud.
