For its August 2010 issue, ST[i]LED magazine has models getting lost DC Comic book-style, and photographer Steve Houghton makes sure they do!
Employing the same computer technologies used in the latest feature films, Houghton takes models to the Grand Canyon, the jungle, the desert and finally the beach! Houghton is an image manipulation specialist and a definite pioneer in the new realm of photography.
All models were shot in a studio against a white background -- the rest is Steve’s magic. Styled in a kiddie glam fashion, the ST[i]LED magazine shoot showcases bright colors, exaggerated expressions, surreal settings and pool toys! Check out the gallery to see all the photos from this fun photo spread.
