Polish photographer Lukasz Wierzbowski is literally the first flickr crush I ever had. Back then he went under the moniker fakeneverland and produced mostly digital works. Even in those days when he was still crafting his now signature style, it was apparent I was looking at something genius. It is hard to define Lukasz's work. Certainly not your typical fashion photography, it seems Lukasz is more pre-occupied with creating the fantastical world his models inhabit than simply the act of showing 'fashion'. With patterns on top of patterns and saturated colors, his subjects are often seen contorted into unnatural movements that lend a unique atmosphere to his works. There is always something off in his pictures that keeps viewers on their toes and speaks to his ability to create photos that are fresh and innovative.
Lukasz has produced work for such publications as Penguin, Getty, Urban Outfitters and Saatchi and Saatchi and you can catch his interviews in such publications as Dazed Digital and Urban Outfitters.
