HENRIK PURIENNE
I was surprised that a thread for Henrik Purienne didn't exist yet, since I find his photographs always very aesthetically pleasing with a delicate focus on portraying the women's body.
Henrik Purienne is a South African Artist, photographer, film director and founder of fashion publication Mirage. He is focusing on only shooting women with unmade faces, hair and clothing unruly in order to encapsulate the beauty of his subject in her truest form. The only critique that I have about his work, would be that he could shoot more thin models for my taste, rather than average sized girls.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE FEMALE FORM THAT INSPIRES YOU?
Ultimate power. In alluring packaging.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE OVERALL THEME OF YOUR IMAGES?
"Women." The variation is allegedly "A parallel universe of natural beauty and escapism."
