As far as jewelry shoots go, Eric Guillemain's gorgeous editorial featuring Jessica Stam for Vs Magazine has to be up there in terms of elegance and understated beauty. The editorial was published in the magazine's Fall/Winter 2009/2010 issue and illustrates the axiom "less is more" wonderfully.
The black-and-white jewelry spread features Jessica Stam clad only in jewelry; Eric Guillemain's photography showcases both her inimitable beauty and the milkiness of her skin. Gorgeous.
Implications - Jessica Stam does a fantastic job of being expressive and sensual without ever appearing over the top or lewd. She makes the perfect partner for Guillemain. Here's to hoping they team up for more shoots in the future.
