“I’m interested in what we define as beauty, when we choose to create it ourselves.
Beauty has always been a currency, and now that we finally have the technological means to mint our own, what choices do we make?
Is beauty informed by contemporary culture? By history? Or is it defined by the surgeon’s hand? Can we identify physical trends that vary from decade to decade, or is beauty timeless?
When we re-make ourselves, are we revealing our true character, or are we stripping away our very identity?
Perhaps we are creating a new kind of beauty. An amalgam of surgery, art, and popular culture? And if so, are the results the vanguard of human induced evolution?”
Above is photographer Phillip Toledano’s explanation for the fascinating yet disturbing photo series entitled ‘A New Kind of Beauty‘.

I was cruising Dropular today and stumbled across the photography of Paco Peregrin. All of his work is so imaginative and the colors in the makeup, clothing and composition is flat out beautiful. I was really struck by his work. Fantastic.
Reno Ranger has captured some beautiful fashion photography shots.
Stunning. Absolutely stunning photography from the enormously talented Peter Farago. His work is a study in absolute aesthetic.
