Provocative Boiler Room Photography

The W Magazine August 2012 Smash of Titans Editorial is Bold

The W Magazine August 2012 Smash of Titans editorial is hot and steamy. This editorial features Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender seductively caressing, kissing and holding each other.

The location of this pictorial is in a gated area of a boiler room with flourescent lights, chains and concrete walls. The hair stylist Enzo Angileri has pulled back Charlize’s hair into a tight bun, and Michael’s hair is spiked up with light gel. Charlize is captured wearing a back-less frock that appears to be made out of chain-like material with sleek black pumps. The fire burning in the background adds a dim light, which creates a sultry and romatinic vibe.

This story will be featured on the cover of Magazine W for August 2012, and this editorial is yet another incredible series by the famous Mario Sorrenti.
