Steven Klein Studio - the web portfolio


Artist: Steven Klein
Website: www.stevenkleinstudio.com
Portraiture in the past has been regarded as a documentation of a person but for me it is a documentation of the encounter between myself and the subject. It is not meant to reveal them, nor is it meant to subject them to an X-ray; it is a departure from that. I am more interested in the alchemical reaction that occurs when elements are brought together in a space.

Not so much a collaboration between photographer and subject, more a scientific experiment - the studio becomes a lab. For me the portrait is not psychological either. It is atomic. Atoms change their electrical charge continuously, and the more challenging the shoot, the greater the chance of this charge. Yes, I do begin with an idea, a series of ideas that link together logically. But logic is often superseded by events beyond my control.

Art starts as a means of control but the atoms that compose us can spin in a different direction. When you see Madonna in a series of these images, she is neither a perfected icon nor is she revealed – instead she remains ambiguous. I feel the obsession with celebrities is for the most part based on a tired need to know oneself through the other, and perhaps the concept of knowing oneself is all deluded.

There is a desire to link photography with painting. My background is painting and I feel there is no connection between the two. It is as if the camera is linked to a sin, producing a bastard art form that we feel we must link to the past in order to give it credentials. I don't want those credentials. I have no need to apologize for photography. My archives exist only for sound business reasons; otherwise my work would be disposable. And there lies the contradiction, for I am a private person not an exhibitionist, I am a person who lives for the future, not the past; I am standing behind a camera in order that I can extend myself in front of it.

The text above is an artist statement taken from SKS , we can't call Steven only a photographer, even tho he does every major editorial nowadays, hes so much more. And You can check out all genres of his work @ his newly update web portfolio by clicking HERE.

Diesel SS08 LIVE FAST by Laurie Bartley

Ad Campaign: Diesel

Collection: LIVE FAST Spring Summer 2008
Website: www.Diesel.com

Diesel is in a spending mood, increasing its already substantial advertising budget from 5 percent of sales to 7 percent for 2008. But the always unconventional label won't be spending it all with the fashion establishment. The company is planning guerilla marketing initiatives around the world and is increasingly targeting multimedia and digital communication, as well as an outdoor presence via a stepped-up billboard campaign. Creatively, for spring, Diesel is using its ads to showcase product across its different collections for the first time, while tweaking the frenzy of modern, high-speed life.
Diesel tapped British celebrity photographer Laurie Bartley, who portrays a series of models whizzing through a museum taking photos, or out on the streets of Los Angeles, running while putting on lipstick at the same time. "We want to point at the absurdity of these situations, which prevent us from savoring them," said a Diesel spokeswoman. The photos will include pieces from the new Diesel Black Gold line, in addition to the other collections, but the logo appearing on the ads will remain the brand's white and red banner.

Feature: Becki Newton
Photographed by Rankin

Raised on a tree farm in Connecticut ("No pigs or anything like that just pine trees"), Newton honed her sense of the comically absurd from a young age. "I have an inappropriate laughing reflex", she tells our personnel department before interview. "At the the funerals, or any time when it's wrong to start laughing, I'll laugh really loudly to the point where people think I'm crazy. - taken from Esquire December issue, we did post the cover a while ago.

Magazines: Details Zac Efron and Billboard Janet Jackson

Magazine: Details
Issue: February 2008.
Cover feature: Zac Efron
Photographed by: Steven Klein
To begin to understand Zac Efron’s particular strain of viral fame, it helps to stop by your nearest department store, drugstore, or grocery store.

A quick glance will reveal his omnipresence. He’s on gift wrap and party cups and trading cards and lunch boxes. That’s his face inside a pink, heart-shaped locket. On pajamas and night lights, cake decorations and lip balm, backpacks and umbrellas. He’s on the official High School Musical digital camera and the official HSM MP3 player. Lately he’s been leaping for joy alongside his cast mates on Honeycomb cereal boxes to plug the DVD release of High School Musical 2. - More at men.style.com

Cover feature: Janet Jackson
Magazine: Billboard
Outtake: New years are a time for renewal, right? So perhaps the dawn of 2008 is ripe to at last forgive and forget Janet Jackson's past indiscretions. Granted, singles from previous album "20 Y.O." weren't exactly radio-friendly, but in Island Def Jam bow "Feedback," she gives us the goods for a meaningful return to pop and R&B airwaves. The song features a gracious dance groove, but more so, supplies a singalong hook and distinctive melody—a funked-up "All for You," perhaps. Jackson's 10th studio album, "Discipline," streets Feb. 26. It sounds like, at last, she's previewing with a bona fide smash. Welcome back, Janet. Missed you much.

Pop Magazine! Size Zero by Steven Klein

Magazine: POP
Editorial: Size Zero
Photographed by: Steven Klein
Models: Beth Ditto and Blake Kuchta

Edited by: Katie Grand

Beth Ditto, the lead singer for The Gossip, is on the pages of the new edition of POP magazine in an unique fashion layout entitled “Size Zero” photographed by Steven Klein and edited by Katie Grand. Beth gets the glam treatment for the editorial in couture designs by Yves Saint Laurent and Prada along with Giles Deacon, Hussein Chalayan and Proenza Schouler.

You got to love Beth! Besides being über talented, she was selected by NME magazine last year as the coolest person in rock and they placed her at number one in the publication's annual “Cool List.” The magazine cited Beth's "non-conformity" as the reason for their choice -- she's a lesbian, an outspoken advocate of gay rights, weighs around 210 lbs and is in a relationship with a transsexual who was born female but identifies as a man.

Few more outtakes from the editorial: photo 1, photo 2, photo 3 and photo 4.
