A Modern Eye For Cinematic Beauty Iconic photos don´t just happen, they are created by the greats like Tatiana Gerusova, a fashion photographer enabling classic cinematography into her modern renditions. Working very close with the GUESS family, Tatiana has truly made the image of the iconic fashion house with a touch of mid-century flare. From pinup to elegance, her natural sense of angles and lighting will always be marveled as the captivating presence that is GUESS.

s an artist, how do you prepare for a shoot? I think about the mood, the connection with the model, the location and vibes. It all comes in the moment. I have an idea in mind and when we start shooting, the details usually come on the spot. I never usually plan an exact shot unless it’s something specific.
How do you create your enticing scenes and situa-
tions on set? We have a location and story idea in mind. After that the story kind of takes off. I love it when everyone is happy. That’s the best environment for a great shoot.
What element do you believe is blos-
Where would you say things first kicked off in the
L.A. market for you? Not many people know this, but I used to work as a graphic designer for a while. When I started shooting as a hobby I realized that this was something I felt passionate about. I’d ask my friends to be my subjects. I started shooting models that I met. Then I realized I had so much passion for shooting fine art 43\ and fashion. Things accelerated after that somehow.
“I went from a girl with a camera to a 20 people crew and I loved every How were you first incorporated into phase of it”
somed from a woman as she is being photographed? (her confidence, her sexuality, her femininity, etc..) I usually tell my models to imagine that they are not here with me. To picture a story, romance, drama, thriller, anything. I love candid shots. I usually give a general direction but I like when the model can play the part as an actress. I wonder what they can show me. When people are alone and unaware of the camera, you can see their true persona, true emotions. It’s the best when they don’t pay attention to their good angles, they are not aware of how they look from a certain point. To me, that’s when you capture the shot. That’s when the model brings her inner sensuality, beauty, and her secrets. It’s the natural way of showing the real you.
With
fascinated by the image developing. I love film. I still shoot film as much as I can. Old school black and white photography naturally had an impact on me. Then my mother put me into Art school (and then Music school) where I learned composition, lighting, history and how to draw. I used to paint nature and draw portraits before I started shooting. One day I just started shooting street photography and then I merged into the fine art, fashion world. It just happened. And I realized this was my passion.
the loving support from your parents into discovering the arts, how did you make your way to becoming a photographer? Was there ever a defining moment where you declared yourself to pursue your soon outstanding career? My father had an old film camera, he had a dark room, and I always helped him develop film. I was
the GUESS family? I always loved those old classic Guess ads, I was also influenced by the works of Peter Lindbergh, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts. One morning I received a message from Paul Marciano inviting me to meet at the Guess HQs in Los Angeles. I’ll never forget the overwhelming mix of emotions when I saw his message. I met Paul that day which went amazing and unforgettable. This was 2 years ago. And we have been working together since then. Has your love for travel interlaced with inspiration for upcoming shoots? Definitely yes. Naturally traveling is one of my favorite activities. I was lucky enough to see the world, both, bad and good side. It certainly gave me inspiration for my work.

What would you say you’ve learned from your expe-
“I like when the model can play the part as an actress. I wonder what they can show me”
/46
rience shooting for GUESS? As this was my first big client, most of everything I learned was from this experience. From the technical and production parts to creative direction, how to be a part of a huge production team. I had no idea how things worked before. I went from a girl with a camera to a 20 people crew and I loved every phase of it.
Are there any movies you’d consider inspiration for
your work or past photography legends you look up to? I was always inspired by black and white classic fashion, works of Peter Lindbergh, Herb Ritts, Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin. Old classic cinema. One of my favorite movies that inspired lots of my work is Les Pétroleuses with Brigitte Bardot and Claudia Cardinale. That fighting scene! And I have to say, I’m a big fan of Quentin Tarantino and his films! A few books of him are on my nightstand at all times. Love reading them before I fall asleep.
How would you describe yourself?
I’m pretty laid back nowadays. When I have some free time, I prefer to visit something I haven’t seen before. Love traveling! And of course, if I have a chance, I see my family.
You have a great talent for truly capturing the female
physique, making not just the clothes the center of attention, nor specifically the model but creating the entire scene truly a picturesque work of art. Tell us about how you go about developing these stories? Thank you for your kind words. It has to be very fun, light and friendly atmosphere first, when we are all relaxed and play, without feeling under pressure of producing something specific. We have a certain direction of the project but the ideas and spontaneous images usually happen at the time of the shoot. And I love candid shots!

Bodysuit Silvana Tedesco • Rings Jewelry Bar

rowing up, what were your original aspirations before you made it big on Nickelodeon? Believe it or not, my biggest, wildest dream as a kid was to be on a Nickelodeon show. I remember thinking that around 10 years old for the first time, and it still blows my mind sometimes that 5 years later it actually happened.
How did your parent’s legacy in Broadway influence
very grateful to have this job and influence and I take the responsibility seriously.
Tell us about what inspired you to start a singing career?
Like I said before, music’s always been a huge part of my life. I’ve written music since I was 13 and played guitar and piano (and, believe it or not, flute) for years. I put that all on hold to work on Thundermans. I was still writing and making music over the run of the show, but couldn’t put anything out for a variety of reasons. Once the show ended, and I finally had the time and autonomy to choose the next path of my career, I decided to turn to the thing I’m most passionate about, which is music.
you to pursue the theatrical arts? Hugely. They never ever pushed me into the industry, but growing up in around theater and music and dancing allowed me to develop this immense passion for performing when I was very little. My whole childhood and adolescence, my dad would play the piano in the living room “My dad would and my mom would sing, and I play the piano in would join in in harmony. Performing was our thing, and it always the living room just felt like home.
Do you feel as if you missed out on
and my mom would sing, and I would join in in harmony”
being a “regular teenager” by juggling school and stardom? Not really. Sure, I missed out on a few high school experiences, but I’m so grateful for the incredible opportunities my job gave me to travel the world and do what I love at such a young age that I honestly feel the pros far outweighed the cons. Going through puberty with millions of eyes watching was a little tough, but I had a great family and support system of friends that really helped keep me sane growing up in this crazy biz.
When did you first realize that other kids see you as
a role model and look up to you? I think it really started on social media a few years back actually. I would get the sweetest messages from fans. Of course, there are always a solid amount of trolls on the internet trying to cause drama, but for the most part, I get really beautiful letters and comments online. I’ve actually formed some real friendships with a few fans. My first in-person meet and greet was really eye-opening for me too, especially the first time a girl made her own costume and dressed up as me to come to see me. I’m
When did you start your singing on YouTube and how has it helped you develop your style? I used to make covers in my dressing room at work to pass the (little) free time I had on set. Since I couldn’t put out my original music while on the show, I loved doing covers of my favorite artists. Honestly, my favorite part of doing YouTube covers 67\ was that Maya, who played the baby sister Chloe on the Thundermans, LOVED them and would go around singing them all week.
What draws you to the entertainment industry?
I grew up as the weird kid who never stopped singing and dancing and performing for anyone who would listen. Around here, that isn’t quite so weird.
Tell us about your workout routine.
For the past year, I’ve taken this hot yoga sculpt class pretty much every day. I’ve always loved yoga (especially after quitting dance due to a chronic lower back injury and old gymnastics injuries), but this class really changed my life. It’s a yoga flow in a heated room, combined with isometrics, free weights, and cardio. It sounds insane, and it is, but I’ve gotten totally addicted. I love how strong it leaves me feeling, it’s great for my body and old injuries, and since I love food so much and absolutely refuse to go on strict diets, I love how much it helps me stay in shape.
With such a busy lifestyle how do you destress at the
end of the day? My workouts are my main tool for distressing, although I usually work out in the morning. I generally work pretty late, but I’ll spend whatever little bit of free time I have at the end my day playing guitar or seeing my friends. If I can get off work in time, my best friend and I love watching the sunset in beautiful spots in the mountain, especially if we have time to hike up to our favorite spot in the valley and watch from way above the city.
Can you share with our readers what an average day
in the life of Kira Kosarin looks like? Most days I wake up for my morning workout, stop home real quick for food and shower, then head off to whatever writing/recording session I have that day. When I can, I’ll try to go see friends after sessions, but right now I’m prepping for tour so most nights I have dance rehearsal after my session starting around 10 or 11 pm. Then I’ll usually come home and play guitar for a bit, maybe watch some tv, and pass out around midnight or 1. That’s pretty standard day for me. Sometimes I’ll have an audition to run to or put on tape at home at some point during the day. Sometimes I’ll have days where I’m shouting for tv or film, and when that’s the case, the rest of my life pretty much gets put on hold. Sometimes I have events to go to, so I’ll get as much work done as I can while I’m in hair and makeup. Sometimes I get a few hours off and I’ll run down to the pool at my apartment and catch some sun, maybe play ping pong with my friends who live in my complex. There are always wildcards and variables, but I generally try to get in a workout and some music time every day that I can, just for my mental health and sanity.
How would you like to describe your personal style?
Sporty, urban, chill. I need to look fly but also be able to spontaneously nap in anything I wear, especially in the studio.
Congratulations on being accepted to Stanford Uni-
versity! You’ve said in a previous interview with Teen Vogue that you would like to study Psychology. Tell us about how you must use psychology skills to interpret your character on screen and symphonize yourself with her while acting?
Thank you!!! I actually chose to wait to attend school and continue to focus on my career for the time being. I still do a lot of studying on my own time, just because I’m a total nerd. Last year I was really into studying the psychology of dreaming, and lately, I’ve been doing a lot of research on Dissociative Identity Disorder and similar trauma-rooted personality disorders. Even though I’m in a creative professional field, I still try to find free time to keep learning in more academic subjects, even away from a scholastic setting. Psychology is, by definition, the scientific study of the human mind and its functions, especially those affecting behavior in a given context. Every choice in playing a character has to be defined by all of that character’s experiences and behavioral patterns, so the study is definitely applicable to acting. Quite frankly though, my interest in the subject is less practical and more fueled by sheer fascination.
Tell us about the volunteer work you’ve done.
LGBTQIA+ advocacy is hugely important to me and my family, and we’ve gotten the opportunity to do some work with the Trevor Project, the nation’s leading crisis prevention and suicide intervention hotline for LGTBQ+ youth. In the summers I volunteer at my neighbor’s organization Camp Del Corazon, which is an incredible nonprofit that provides free summer camp with comprehensive health care to kids with heart disease and congenital heart defects. I’ve gone to volunteer and spend time with the campers for the past few summers on Catalina Island.
If you could collaborate on a song with anyone in the music industry who would it be?
Frank Ocean, Chance the Rapper, Childish Gambino
What can we expect from Kira Kosarin in the future
More music and live shows for sure. I want to take more adult roles in film and tv that challenge me as an actor. I‘ve also been working to direct sitcoms, especially kids’ shows. I spent so much time over the course of 103 episodes learning the technical side of tv production from my amazing crew, and I really want to help teach and raise the next generation of children’s tv actors, so that’s definitely on my immediate to-do list. I have so many passions, and I’m so inspired by artists like Janelle Monáe and Donald Glover; I want to keep finding new passions to pursue and chase them all wholeheartedly. People think I’m crazy for wanting to do everything, but honestly, I think life is just too short to choose only one thing that fuels your soul.

#Weownthenight BY AMANDA ROBINSON @mandarobinson
When I think of late summer nights I always think back to my childhood summers and owning the night. Just when things begin to get cooler, the air is fresher and the smells of nature begin to flourish of the pre-fall weather. The lightning bugs glisten in the trees, the bonfire burns the usual scent of woodsmoke. The hot pool parties, sunsets, and starry nights. The days of your sun-bronzed skin are coming to a closure and owning the night just got sexier. The night is yours, own it!

TRAVEL GUIDE
FERNANDO DE NORONHA
True paradise on Earth! /98
Known by Australians as the “74 island wonders”, the Whitsunday Islands are situated in the northeast coast of Queensland and are all encompassed by nothing but sand, turquoise waters, and the world’s most profound coral reef system, the Great Barrier Reef. There are only four main islands that are inhabited and hold four of the most renowned tropical resorts: Hamilton Island, One & Only Hayman Island, Daydream Island Resort & Spa, and the Palm Bay Resort on Long Island. The rest of the islands remain uninhabited and are protected by the Australian government as national parks. As you can imagine, the Whitsundays are most popular for their aquatic activities, most especially, their snorkeling and diving opportunities. Regardless of what activities you decide to do, these tropical gemstones are sure to leave you breathless and filled with unforgettable memories.

BOM DIA A TODOS E BEM VINDOS!
In this travel guide, we will be journeying to a remarkable Brazilian destination known as Fernando de
Noronha. Lying 220 miles off of Brazil’s northeastern coast, Fernando de Noronha is a mountainous archipelago comprising of 21 islands and islets. Protected by the Brazilian government as a National Marine Sanctuary, the surrounding waters of the archipelago hold a rich, prolific marine life making it perfect for divers and snorkelers. With just over 3,000 locals of Noronha’s main island, Ilha de Fernando de Noronha, the archipelago remains to be a fairly remote oceanic sanctuary hidden away from the turbulence of the outside world. It’s fabled to be a nature lover’s dream come true as most of the dayto-day exploratory activities consist of outdoor, eco-friendly occupation. Now, let’s take a look at some options tourists have in their journey to Noronha...

GETTING THERE The two main ways for travelers to get to Noron-
ha are by air or by sea. Aeroporto de Fernando de Noronha is located in the main island’s center and accepts domestic flights from the coastal cities of Natal and Recife. In regards to sea travel, visitors have the option of maneuvering by seasonal cruises or renting private boats, which can be designated by travel agencies on the mainland. Prospective visitors must keep in mind two other critical factors before planning their trip to Noronha. First and foremost, the government of Brazil, alongside other environmental preserva-
tion institutions, limits visitation to an average of 700 tourists per day. Additionally, entry into the main island is only permitted once visitors pay a nominal preservation fee, put in place by the Institution of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA), which fluctuates depending on the duration of the stay. With that being said, it is highly recommended that those desiring entry into the island plan their trip several months in advance in order to secure their entry and save on higher costs.

MARINE-BASED EXCURSIONS Having
been declared a Natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the restrictions on human activity remain to be quite prevalent in Noronha, however, this doesn’t seem to be a problem as both the locals and visitors of the archipelago are in a like-minded agreeance of the need to preserve the many wildlife features that roam throughout the area. The archipelago has two iconic wildlife features that visitors may have the opportunity to witness. The first of these is presented in alliance with Project Tamar, a Brazilian organization, which focuses on aiding the native sea turtles’ troublesome journey of waddling their way from the golden shores of Praia do Leão, and the other inner sea beaches of the main island, into the Atlantic Ocean. This miraculous event can
be witnessed between the months of December and June. Furthermore, Fernando de Noronha, alongside Oahu, Hawaii, is one of the only known locations where spinner dolphins linger. Therefore, the best way to view them is during sunrise (normally around 5:30 AM to 8 AM) at the cliffs overlooking the calm waters of the Bay of Dolphins. It is at this bay where they normally group up to rest, reproduce, and communicate with each other before they go off to rove around the surrounding waters for the rest of the day. For those interested in inquiring about the spinner dolphin species, associates and representatives from the Spinner Dolphin Project can be located at this viewing spot for an additional hour after the dolphins have left the bay.

PURE
TRANQUILITY Ilha de Fernando de Noronha has one main village,
known as Vila dos Remédios, located in the center of the island. It is here where most of the island’s manmade activity occurs. Though there are a few bars and restaurants, there is no nightlife present on the island, which helps set the tone of the naturefocused energy that the island encompasses. With that said, new tourists have 16 idyllic beaches to spend their days on; the three most popular being Praia do Sancho, Baía dos Porcos, and Praia do Leão. Returning visitors may choose to spend their days at their preferred beaches or head off to new hiking expeditions and surfing spots. Regardless of your familiarity with the island, one spot that never gets old is Boldró Fort. It is here where locals and visitors gather to witness an unfathomable view of the sun setting behind Noronha’s Dois Irmãos (Two Brothers), twin volcanic rock formations that stand up in front of Baía dos Porcos.
Over the years, Fernando de Noronha has conti-
nued to gain desirability and has been equated by Brazilians as being a “real-life paradise”. Therefore, regardless of one’s whereabouts and duration while on the island, it is almost certain that you’ll be left dumbstruck to this aquatic utopia’s reality. gical essence, and left in disbelief of the 74 island wonders’ existence..

CUE MUSIC
BY RYLAND SHELTON @rswissarmyknife
THE SONG OF THE SUMMER. Every year,
publicists and record labels clamor to push their clients to the top of the pop song heap in a contest for the catchiest, sexiest, splashiest poolside banger that the world will listen to non-stop on repeat, Memorial to Labor. It’s gotta be sensational, but it’s also gotta be something that can punctuate the clink of ice in a shaker. Something that makes the breeze feel a little cooler, cruising with the top down. Something that rewards you, verse to verse to chorus, for working so damn hard to keep from losing it on your coworkers while the weather outside was frightful. Yes, the Song of the Summer lets you slip away, drink in hand and getting a tan - even if it’s just in your mind while you’re grinding out the 9 to 5 under fluorescent lights. Say it with me: the pool is just a work-week away!
But hearing the same track, over and over, everywhere you
go can get a little tiresome. That song you can’t get enough of at the beach loses more than a little of its sexiness when it’s piped in like muzak while you’re in the chair at the dentist. After you try singing along to “I Like It” with metal tools in your mouth, it loses some appeal. Just trust. Sometimes the summer’s favorite songs get so overplayed we end up with near-allergic reactions to them by summer’s end. “Despacito,” anyone? Like losing a child. Ok, yeah, not like that at all… but still sad, more like losing a goldfish with whom you had a strong emotional bond. Flush and farewell. Moment of silence.
So what do we do? How can we live our #bestlife and yet keep at bay the approaching regret of our summertime sonic gluttony? Fear not. We’ve chased down the best and newest undercover hits of the summer to add to your playlists. The chance of them becoming overplayed earworms is minimal, but the likelihood they will keep your summer sounding fresh is higher than the mercury. And Cardi B can still be your best friend come Thanksgiving, when you’ll need her the most. You’re very welcome.

Beauty From Within Gilda Garza, a professional artist born in Sinaloa, Mexico, has borne a paintbrush and an ambition to create all her life. This passion stemming down from her grandmother who also painted, Gilda today paints with such grace and elegance that can be seen in her works of strong sensual women. She expresses everything from her harsh past to her aspirations of love and peace through each brush stroke as she herself is a work of art. Radiating a vibrancy of beauty and brains, it was such a pleasure to learn the roots of her vehemence.

“If we all just put our little grain of sand, we could make this world a better place�
ou’ve said art is a generational passion passed down to you from your grandmother. What skills has she taught you that you still portray through your art today? I see myself in her art sometimes, of course, there are pieces that I say, wow, she taught me that. She always taught me to believe in your art and to always paint from the heart. When I paint my classical pieces is when I see the resemblance the most.
Tell us about how you channel your traumatic past
How did you develop your own style of art?
I feel as if I’m looking at the subject’s true essence
I always loved bright colors, a painting that leaves a statement. I like to play around with the neons to add that hello effect. I’ve always been inspired by beautiful and powerful women so I painted them. I like to add that surprise factor while still being able to paint very classic pieces.
How has your art evolved since you first started painting?
/120 I definitely began to take more risks. I am not trying to say I played it safe, but I wanted to step out of my comfort zone. I definitely added more pops of colors and started painting more vibrant.
into your striking paintings. Like I said in the previous question, I am overall a happy person, but traumas happen. I just leave it all in my art and I think you can tell. If I am sad or mad, I paint. Obviously different colors are used to express the emotions are going at that time. When I am going through things is when I believe I paint the best. when viewing your art. How do you go about capturing that raw emotion? As I paint I imagine how that person would feel in that moment and I just lose myself in the face
“I’ve always been inspired You’ve said you are donating your sales to institutions that care for refugees. What charities have you given to thus far? by beautiful I believe in helping, it has always been a and powerful priority of mine. I have donated to The Association of Alzheimer, Casa Cuña women so I Culiacan Sinaloa, Casa de Migrante Baja California, El Nuevo Copainted them” Tijuana razón, Monterey Nuevo León,…
How do the vibrant colors you use effect the overall emotion emitted from the painting? I believe it leaves you with a feel-good sensation. When you enter a room, vibrant colors immediately capture your attention. I like that factor, and it also brings me joy to paint that way
Describe the energy you hope to spread to people
through your paintings. I am a very happy person, so like I said before a feel-good energy. I want to transmit great energy through my paintings. Obviously, depending on what’s going on my, my paintings will never be all the same. At the same time, I always want them to keep interested and wanting more.
What message have you been wanting to tell the world through your art or just as a person? I transmit love and peace. If we all just put our little grain of sand, we could make this world a better place. Let’s just all try to understand each other and be kind to one another.
What type of legacy do you wish to leave as you have
left such a harmonious impact with your iconic pieces? My legacy; I wish to have left this earth knowing that I lived my life to the fullest. With this, I also wish to have made an impact and a change to my Mexico. Like I said before giving, there’s no other feeling like it. I give without expecting to receive. I just want people to enjoy my art, there’s no better feeling.

THE HOLLYWOOD CONSPIRATOR
BY LYNN VENTURELLA @lynnventurella Edited by CATHERINE KELEMEN
“Keep evolving Hollywood, it is a good thing you’re changing” Recently, many experts have been reporting that the entertainment industry in Hollywood is dying and no longer as relevant as it once was a few years ago. Movie ticket sales are at an all time low and major tv networks have been losing a significant amount of viewers since 2014. These experts are wrong though, because Hollywood is not dying. It is simply evolving.
exclusive than it is today. Even with all this glamour and secrecy, it certainly did not have the opportunities that are available today. The studios ruled supreme during this era, and your connections were everything. This was the atmosphere that allowed producers like Harvey Weinstein and many others to get away with things like sexual harassment and worse.
Just like how Uber changed the taxi industry and companies like Expedia and Orbitz reduced the need for travel agents, Netflix ,Hulu and Smart TVs have begun the “Hollywood Revolution.”
Today, there is no excuse or room for behavior like this, and there is nothing stopping you from bringing your own ideas to life. You can literally create your own show, put it on YouTube, and if it’s good and catches someone’s eye, you could end up with a hit show. You are now in charge of your own destiny.
The way we watch movies and television has completely changed over the last few years. This new way of entertaining us may be hurting some executives, studios, and weakening the union, but it is fabulous for the actors, the creative writers, producers, crews, and especially, the audience. As new channels continue to appear, existing networks and cable channels are being challenged to create more original and stronger content to compete. This competition between networks breeds more creativity than ever before, making this the golden era of opportunities for actors and all the creatives that develop and create these new shows. When I first came to Hollywood in the early seventies, Hollywood seemed much more glamorous and more
As a result of this newly evolving Hollywood era, people are watching movies and television more than ever before. We may not being doing it old school watching movies on the big screen or on television, but we are still watching tons of content nonetheless. Personally, I much prefer to stream a whole season than wait each week for the next episode. I love that there is no more pressure to have to watch a particular show at a particular time, so I don’t have to run home in order to not miss my favorite show. Now, I can watch the whole season whenever I want and anywhere I want. I also enjoy having that option of catching up on any shows I’ve missed. With all of our viewing options today, I definitely don’t watch less TV, I watch more. The only difference is that I am now in control of how and when I watch.
Even with all this great new technology and creativity that has positively changed the Hollywood industry, I do believe it has caused us to lose some of the Hollywood Glamour. The “glamour” was created because the possibilities of fame for an actor, producer, or creative were only available to a select few. As the opportunities for success have grown today, the “glamour” has begun to disappear.
mal Kingdom and Claws, while the new Paramount network is also taking a strong position with shows like Yelllowstone, starring Kevin Costner and Alicia Silverstein in American Woman.
Keep evolving Hollywood, it is a good thing you’re changing. We may be losing a little bit of glamour, but that means we are also getting rid of the control that the studios have had over us for many years. This is helping us This does not mean Hollywood is dying. Hollywood gain more jobs, more creative opportunities, better prois now stronger than ever. Networks like TNT are gramming, and ultimately the one thing we all want, bringing us more and more original content like Ani- more freedom to watch TV and movies our way.
