Daring Denim Photography

'A Little Blue' in BlackBook Magazine Makes Shirts Optional

'A Little Blue' in BlackBook Magazine is daring, thanks to its barely-there concept of shirts. The concentration is centered on the denim and the stunning body of the model. The spread features denim from Levi's, Radcliffe and Joe's Jeans, with shirts from D&G and American Apparel.

Definitely a spread that fits all budgets, 'A Little Blue' in BlackBook Magazine will have you wearing denim too. See images of the shoot above.

Implications - Shirtless denim ads are certainly the hottest trend in jean advertising as they focus on the product and use sexually-charged imagery to attract viewers and generate buzz. The ads scream, "Forget the rest of the outfit, the sex appeal is in the jeans!" Nothing beats the way a good pair of jeans makes you feel, and these confidence inspiring ads are a great reminder of that.
