Eerie Insect Editorials

The Origin of Monsters Shoot from Love Magazine Spring 2012 is Creepy

The incredibly imaginative Tim Walker photographed the ultra creepy, yet stunning photo story ‘The Origin of Monsters’ for the Love Magazine Spring 2012 issue. The edgy shoot is an intense combination of crazy hair and makeup, couture and the insect world, all of which is captured with model Kristen McMenamy.

The editorial is bound to be a hit, as even if it's a bit too creepy-crawly for your taste, you'll definitely remember the masterful styling of Katie Grand, who features vintage Dior couture, chain mail headdresses from the Royal National Theater and ethereal Alexander McQueen dresses.

The photo shoot for the Love Magazine Spring 2012 issue is one of several revealed online, and the latest makes the anticipation for the next issue of the biannual magazine that much more exciting.
