For the October 2010 issue of Interview Magazine, supermodel Naomi Campbell is decked out in designer goods as she tortures a bare naked, tattooed man. This series is a Mafia-inspired, dark and dreary set with highlighted hues of of green. This dirty industrial-type setting is reminiscent of the SAW movies, but with a more fashionable twist.
Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott shot the photo story brilliantly, with the aid of stylist Karl Templer. The tortured man in Interview Magazine has had his life handed to him by Naomi and since she has had a violent history, here's hoping he learned his lesson.
