The ManTalk Magazine 'Land Down Under' editorial might be shot in Australia, hence its title, but it certainly isn't typical of the locale. The black and white images mute the bright sun, blue skies and bluer waters that the country is known for. Yet it doesn't take away from the bikini beauty captured in each still.
Starring model Lilly Rathie, the ManTalk Magazine 'Land Down Under' editorial was shot by Mark Sullivan-Bradley of Public IMG. With creative direction by Mark Basa & Mitchell Jackson, the blonde bombshell is captured posing seductively on the sandy beaches, clad in nothing more than skimpy swimwear, and sometimes not even that. The looks were styled by Natalya Khomenko with bronzed skin by makeup artist Carly Lim.
