Treats magazine.

Finding the balance between fashion and sex isn’t always the mission of Treats! Magazine (sometimes, let’s face it, the former overpowers the latter – not to say it’s for the worse). Kesler Tran’s latest contribution of Australian model Lauren Brown does hit upon the balance though, with plenty of bare skin and long legs in thigh high boots providing one distraction while glam-punk accessories like…

In this week’s video round-up: a preview of the forthcoming 14th issue of Bambi Magazine, in which Sarah Stephens oozes the kind of sensual glamour that’s put her at the forefront of campaigns like Myla lingerie and Agent Provocateur; Natasha Poly does what she does best (being Natasha Poly) in black and white; Edie Campbell talks about nightmares and Greta Bellamacina reads a poem that…

Marianna Rothen’s trademark aesthetic is formed around the kind of vintagey goodness that time travels you to another era. And since her shoot for issue 5 of Treats! Magazine happens to be taking us on a nostalgic magic carpet ride to the 1960s (nostalgic, even if for something we perhaps didn’t live through) that makes it perfect for right now. After all, ’60s hairstyles are…

When GQ Spain enlisted Alvaro de la Herrán to direct a video based on Fifty Shades of Grey, surely not even they could have anticipated something so brazenly erotic and yet so softly filmed. “It’s clear to me,” says Herrán, “that in a contemporary sexual relationship a kiss hides more than a tongue.” Alexander Tikhomirov shoots beautiful bodies where tribal jewellery and tattoos are the…

Some shoots are about styling and creative concepts and storytelling; some are purely about the connection between photographer and model, artist and muse. With Treats! magazine being more inclined towards nudity than perhaps most magazines, those pure portraits are often the kind where the model is stripped bare to her most raw and sensual self. This shoot of model Cisco Tschurtschenthaler, by Treats! regular David…

To sleep, perchance to dream… Or, if you want to take it one step further, not just to dream but to travel. To escape your physical body, momentarily at least, and float free, exploring the astral plane. Petrovsky & Ramone’s shoot for issue 4 of Treats! Magazine plays with shimmering colours, double-exposures and hazes of light, a visual representation of those sleep-induced out of body…

On Fashionising.com’s Pinterest account we have a board titled Fashion Photography As Art. It’s there because I believe that two types of photo shoots dominate the fashion pictorial landscape: the literal and the artistic. There is blur between them, but I separate the two by what they’re attempting to communicate – literal photo shoots impart styling advice, artistic photo shoots impart a feeling. And impart…

In their first issue treats! magazine have brought us black and white beauties, bright things on rollerskates, and a whole host of other sensuality-infused shoots. But if I were to single out a personal favourite from the issue it would be this one: Rachel Roberts, gorgeously styled with Brigitte Bardot-esque hair and makup. It’s a shoot that’s not just visually appealing, but also beauty inspiration…

If a cocktail of hot pink, fluro yellow, roller skates, lycra and lame reminds you of a childhood in the ’80s then it may be time to reconsider that association; because said mix just grew up. Photographing a roller girl fantasy in Los Angeles (where else?) is Ben Watts, taking the role of nudity in fashion to places rarely seen. Rarely seen because the shoot…

Like any good print title that pushes the boundaries between old and new media, Treats magazine are gracing us with not just the end results of their shoots, but the behind-the-scenes footage as well. This (NSFW) video is a peek into Tony Duran’s shoots for the magazine’s first issue.
