This month of February 2012, we explore simplicity and men’s authenticity in the converging worlds of photography, modeling, music, fashion, and entertainment. This issue will serve up daily inspiration from creative and talented photographers and the great shots, looks, poses and lighting they make. It’s a challenging and hugely exciting time now to be working in the publishing space. Technology has dissolved the borders that once neatly defined creative ideas and georgraphic affiliation. It’s turned talented people into creators and empowered a whole new breed of storytellers and looks makers. The Internet offers an incredible opportunity to meet truly amazing artists from all over the world, and, as a result, we make our readers discover them - models and photographers - on the pages of our magazine. Our central premise is that originality is key, at all levels of creativity.
