Sexy Pirates

For the Winter campaign 2008 of Agent Provocateur posed Helena Christensen as a sexy pirate.



I don’t think that there is a reference to any particular pirate painting. But the whole series seems to be inspired by the pirate pin ups of the thirties.

Mondrian once more

Chinese actress and pop singer Fan Bingbing featured on Harper’s Bazaar China for the month of January 2008.


Maybe it’s not necessary to say that this is also a Mondrian quotation.

Iwo Jima Flag

Very popular in advertisings is the famous photograph of the Iwo Jima flag rising.


The original is from 1945 and probably the most iconic photo of the United States.

Levi’s on a Skyscraper

This nice ad for Levi's Cling fits is from 2007 and was made by JWT Advertising Agency in Bangalore. The photographer was Steve Koh.

To me it looks like a quotation of the famous photo by Charles C. Ebbets "Lunchtime atop a Skyscraper" from 1932. Above all because I think that no photographer in the whole world can take a picture of a crossbeam with people on it without thinking of Ebbets.
