When I first browsed through Luke Gilford's portfolio, I couldn't help but feel like I had stepped into a disturbing dream. Although Gilford is a fashion photographer, his work is incredibly abstract and artistic.
A recent graduate, Luke Gilford is based in Los Angeles. His work has been published in WWD, Paper, Flaunt, Anthem and Dazed & Confused, which is pretty impressive. Life Lounge notes, "Instead of portraying exaggerated emotions and dramatized smiles, Gilford shows the more melancholy and sexually tense shades of life."
