Wendy began her professional career in photography in 2004. It was shortly after she graduated from her degree, in Fashion Photography, and was still assisting several photographers, that she was first commissioned by i-D magazine.
Most recently, and perhaps going back to were her ideas originally were formed, she has started to work on the idea of using these pieces within performance, or perhaps Tableaux Vivant.
Wendy is currently working on her first short film, for the Fashion Film Festival, that will be showcased at the Tate Modern in early May 2008.

He was born in 1938 in New York City. Peter Beard kept diaries at an early age. He took his first pictures at twelve and photography quickly evolved into an extension of his diaries, as a way to preserve and remember vacations and favorite things. In 1957 he entered Yale University as a pre-medical student, but perceiving humans as the main disease soon switched to art history, studying under Vincent Scully, Joseph Albers, and Richard Lindner.
In addition to creating original artwork, Beard has befriended and collaborated on projects with many artists including Andy Warhol, Andrew Wyeth, Richard Lindner, Terry Southern, Truman Capote, and Francis Bacon.
Babette, aka Babette Pautier, is a young and talented emerging photographer born in France and based in London. A graduate of the Arts Deco school in Paris, she has already published her work in several magazines such as Double and Intersection.
While there are many photographers out there who position their work on the thin border between fashion and art, few do it with a talent that equals Babette’s.
Her style mixes elegantly the glamourous with the painterly, ranging from neon-pop flashiness to dreamlike shadowy portraits with a distinctive film still quality. Portraits aside, her pictures of urban sceneries and eerie landscapes all bear the mark of a vision steeped as much in gothic horror as in innocent daydreaming.
Oh, and did we mention, even her website is uber cool and she’s designed it herself with little outside help. Check it out for your selves.

His last book was published in 1998 and chances to have another one are slim. Serge Lutens was a talented fashion photographer and later became a fragrances genius. He started to experiment with makeup and photography, using his friends to pose as models. In 1962 he moved to Paris. After seeing his work, Vogue hired him to create makeup, hair and jewelry. Throughout the sixties he collaborated with great photographers such as Richard Avedon, Bob Richardson and Irving Penn. In 1967, Christian Dior commissioned him to create a makeup line which Vogue USA called “ A revolution in makeup.” Serge Lutens has a influence of geisha traditions in his work as a make-up artist. His book is just beautiful.
