With the new James Bond movie ‘Quantom of Solace’ set to make its debut soon, fashion magazines are capitalizing on the buzz and interest in the suave spy with action-packed photo shoots inspired by the beloved spy movies.
The recent issue of Kult Magazine features a suspenseful and action-packed editorial titled 'Under Fire' by photographer Bell Soto that pays more than a fleeting homage to the bond movies.
Featuring models Ryan Snyder and Nate Nesbitt, the shoot has the typical helicopter, kicking in the door and gun-wielding action scenes. And of course it wouldn’t be a believable Bond nod without including a romance scene with an attractive female and the iconic jumping-out-of-the-water shot.
