Punkish Avant-Garde Photography

This Vibrant Beauty Series was Done for Tush Magazine

This creative beauty series by Markus Jans takes an Avant-Garde approach to cosmetic photography. This editorial was put together for The Eclectic Issue of Tush Magazine. The model featured in this rather artsy beauty series is named Ava Smith. The editorial is titled ‘Ava-Garde’ which seems very on the nose.

In some of these shots, Smith is sporting curly pink hair and pink makeup, while in other photographs she is rocking black messy locks and dark bruise-like makeup. While all of these shots are peculiar and pretty, some are more lighthearted while others are eerie.

These stunning avant-garde style shots were created for the sole purpose of generating a response in viewers. These painted ladies are like living works of art. They’re a lot of fun to look at.
