Fly Quarterly

Oh how our heart goes pitter pat for our feautured artist @madidiaz She finished up her recent tour in #Chicago this week. We had the opportunity to shoot a #FLYSession with her..Her amazing record #Phantom is out now..you can buy it here.. Stay tuned for more photos..Heres a shot from #SXSW by @slowlife-exhibit 

So much to post, so little time..Once again updates have fallen on the wayside..Is it ever to early to start a New Years Resolution..Our #BalthusProject has begun to spawn a life of its own..We are beginning to feature a variety of #lingerie and #fashion clothing lines, spotlighting the stunning craft and skill of their amazingly talented designers. As the aesthetic of the project lends itself beautifully to showcase the garments while continuing to create a visually fantastic body of images. Here are teasers shot by slowlife-exhibit from recent shoots with the equally beautiful #JoleneGrace and #EvgeniaLingerie. Stay tuned for more to come as we continue to work on our launch issue. Any designers or models interested in collaborating in the project, can contact us at either [email protected] or [email protected]

Im working on a new project in the studio and am looking for models interested in posing. Either comment below or send an email to [email protected] if interested in participating..Thanks  "Freckles" is the first in a series of new essays .. Freckles can be found on anyone no matter their genetic background; however, the number of freckles is genetic and is related to the presence of the melanocortin-1 receptor MC1R gene variant. Freckles are predominantly found on the face, although they may appear on any skin exposed to the sun, such as arms or shoulders. Heavily distributed concentrations of melanin may cause freckles to multiply and cover an entire area of skin, such as the face. Freckles are rare on infants, and more commonly found on children before puberty. Upon exposure to the sun, freckles will reappear if they have been altered with creams or lasers and not protected from the sun, but do fade with age in some cases. 

The band formerly known as @twinsistermusic released their self titled debut, #MrTwinSister today. Such a wonderful next chapter for an amazing band..They'll be hitting the road for a brief tour, opening for Julian Casablancas + the Voidz. Head over to their website and you can still grab an original pressing..

In 2011 I had the great pleasure of meeting the amazing Claire Boucher @Grimezsz while she was touring with Lykke Li. One week later I met back up with her on the road in Seattle and shot a FLY Session with her. Tonight she co hosted the red carpet show for the MTV VMA Awards with fashion designer, Rachel Antonoff. Check out clips over at Pitchfork as well as the FLY Session featured on BV Chicago .
