Hot book: Decade by Alexi Lubomirski

Over the last ten years, Alexi Lubomirski has become an established name within the fashion industry, shooting for such publications as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and GQ. After finishing his studies, he was introduced to Mario Testino, who soon hired Lubomirski as an assistant. Toward the end of his four years with Testino, Katie Grand chose him to start shooting for the iconic Face magazine and subsequently Harper’s Bazaar US.
His new book, Decade is a collection of Lubomirski’s fashion and portrait work from 2003-2013.
Combining studio photography and fashion spreads in exotic locations, this book also features portraits of actors and celebrities such as Cate Blanchett, Victoria Beckham, Kirsten Dunst, Kate Winslet and Ewan McGregor against a broad array of backdrops.
Throughout Decade, Lubomirski uses similarities in narrative, form and subject matter to tell a visual story and create a dialogue between contrasting images. In these cinematic photographs, Lubomirski creates a space in which “the viewer is left free to invent their own narrative from what they perceive from the image.” Cool !
