Digitalistic inspirators: Herb Ritts

Famous photograph by Herb Ritts: Naomi Campbell as a Dolce&Gabbana pin-up girl

If one would ask me (Digi K) which photographers I admire, then Herb Ritts would definitely be high up in my top 10. “He set the tone for more than two decades of fashion, celebrity and art photography.” as mentioned on Nowness. The website published -what they say to be ‘unreavealed’- pictures of the late Ritts. Surprisingly enough I already knew the photograph of an Amazonian Cindy Crawford

Digitalistic video: Girl Panic!

The Topmodels as Duran Duran © Stephanie Pistel for Harper's Bazaar

During the topmodel-era in the early nineties, artists made a habit of filling their music videos with Naomi’s, Cindy’s, Helena’s, Eva’s…etc. I guess George Michael was the record-holder – he managed to put them all together in a video (Freedom)- but iconic rock band Duran Duran were actually the first to use models in their clips (Simon LeBon even married one of them). Now they’re pulling the same trick two decades later with a 9 minutes short film in collaboration with Swarovski Elements. The video for ‘Girl Panic’, directed by Jonas Akerlund features the 5 topmodels who made a body switch with the band’s members (except for Yasmin LeBon, she’s an anonymous guitarplayer). Watch and enjoy after the jump! >>>>
