Juicy Couture & Paper Magazine honor NYU Student Photographer
Pam and I wanted to tell you about our cool photo competition held by Juicy and Paper Magazine. The contest was called, "Shoot Your Style", and was a competition for NYU’s Tisch School of Arts students* Ok, there were so many photographs entered it took us 3 episodes of Gossip Girls to choose our winner! So congratulations! and Wooo Hooo!...to...wait for it...Max Lakner!!!! - the 19 year old film major from New York City. Max’s universe is totally original as is his understanding of composition, lighting and subject matter. His sense of composition is great- we love his saturated colors!
To celebrate Max’s win and show off his original photographs we held a party at our Juicy Couture store on Bleecker Street in New York.
Here’s some stuff about Max...
Max’s Hungarian and Russian background influence his visions and give him a very continental viewpoint. He works closely with his collaborator and muse-manqué Leah Hennessey, creating pataphyisical realist dream-scapes, turning beautiful people into chimeras. Max is inspired by Federico Fellini, Lieko Shiga, Guy Bourdin, and Juergen Telle. He says when he was young he wanted to be a novelist but after picking up a camera at the age of 13, he knew that photography was his future.
Well done Max!
Love, G & P
