Top model Natalia Vodianova stars in Beijing Romance in Vogue China June 2011. Photographer Peter Lindbergh and stylist Nicolette Santoro combine creative efforts for the pictorial, which takes place on the streets of Beijing.
Natalia Vodianova wears a variety of all-white short dresses from top designers that include Calvin Klein, Balenciaga and Lanvin. Her male counterpart in the editorial is Zhao Lei, who is captured wearing several dapper, well-tailored suits.
Bejing Romance in Vogue China June 2011 features artistic photographic techniques and post-production that give the images a cinematic feel. Reflections and superimposed shapes transform otherwise ordinary photos in a beautiful way. In the first two images, the reflections make Vodianova's expressions look almost wistful; later in the editorial, the blurred lens adds drama.
