This is an image taken by the photographer Alexei Hay, he is based in New York City. Some of the publications he has worked with are : Vanity Fair, Purple, and Details. He has also worked with alot of celebrities like Beyonce, Donatella Versace, 50 Cent, Tom Ford, Janet Jackson and Sienna Miller. His work can be found on www.jedroot.com .

These are some more examples of his studio based work. I really like how simple the images are, the camera angle, and the styling i feel they work really work. He has framed the pose of the model and their body shape so they create a frame and make the viewers eye scan the whole image. The lighting is quite soft and simple but with the image he is portraying this works really well.
