The Attitude Magazine June 2012 Issue is en pointe. The editorial entitled 'We Don't Cry Out Loud,' is featured in the UK's best-selling gay magazine Attitude. The shoot captures the extensive movements of the models and was beautifully shot by Australian photographer Philip Riches.
The entire editorial is not only physically charged by the dancers' choreography, but is also very emotional. One of the shots even has the model on the brink of a breakdown, proving to be both a compelling and powerful image.
The styling by Attitude fashion editor Frank Strachan works to provide models Benjamin Warbis, Cameron McMillan and Thom Morell with breathable clothing. Each piece of clothing emphasizes the models' extended motions as they dance through the pages.
