May 2009: L.A. Africa!

Eckhart Schmidt, surrounded by glossy magazines his daughter and girlfriend leave around, decides to shake up fashion photography by applying his noir sensibility to fashion imagery.
The classic inspiration: the iconographical Three Graces.
The situation: Never one for "pretty"; Eckhart prefers the story told in pictures. Noir!
The fashion: all shirts courtesy of African Cowboy Clothing.
