visual feast

Lians Jadan, one of my absolute favorite photographers to work with, recently launched his new website, and if you're looking for some eye candy, definitely check it out. From gorgeous fashion photography (a lot of it styled by yours truly!) to the coolest Jeep campaign ever, Lians brings his distinct artistic vision to all of his work. As I was poking around the new site, I was excited to discover the video The Work shot of our StyleLine shoot from last summer. It's a delicious taste of the many visual delights on Lians' site. Check out the rest at liansjadan.com.
