Hello there Steven Klein! Heard on the gravepine you like the devils nakey?

The intriguing photographer Steven Klein is renowned for pushing the boundaries, shocking all who comes across his statement nude work. Klein's photography isn't constrained by the norm of fashion photography, but sets the standards, making the world of fashion photography a jealousy game. The bringing of homosexuality and transgender nudity to the forefront shows society the gruel reality of today, purely whethere they like it or not.

Lara Stone and Steven Klein go hand in hand; Klein being weird yet wonderful and Stone having no problem with getting her kit off. Together they juxtapose beauty with hideosity. Klein's seven deadly sins photo shoot published in Vogue Paris 2010 featuring Lara Stone, in which he flourished in the storyline; portrayed blood, sex and violence. The murder Klein gets away with is uncanny; sinister poses, fully male nudity and the horror of it all changing how fashion is percieved - changing fashion photography. Fashion is a ticking timeline, constantly developing and never knowing what impends within the next hour. Klein is this, Klein is our surprise.

Though other fashion photographers alike Klein, such as Mert&Marcus, legendary Mario Testino and Steven Meiler create work ultimately with the same characteristics as his, they do not mirror the extreme Klein goes to - creating controversy that cleverly is remembered. Steven Klein in a nutshell; you'll never flick through your fashion bible, walk past that ad or glance at a blog without stopping and envying his incredibly bizarre piece of art.
