Chicks and a Sheep: A summer fashion story with natural nudity by Andrew Kuykendall

Winter time is awful. Not much light, rainy and cold weather. So have a
look at the summer nostalgia brought to you by Andrew Kuykendall, a
fashion photographer from NY/LA.

I really like the atmosphere in the photos, a playful summer story like
an ode to Southern California.

Once again, it's a fashion story with nudity. So I asked Andrew why the
girls had to take their top off. He answered:

"I think the reason for toplessness is different in every shoot. For
this shoot in particular, the whole theme was summer, innocence, youth,
playfulness, freedom, etc. (not to mention that it was over 100 degrees
outside). I find that often toplessness in fashion can feel forced but
in this context all the girls were having fun and are friends and it
came natural. I think it comes across in the video as well."

Andrew provided me with some larger photographs from his shoot for Clay
Magazine as well. I love the hammock. I have one here in a corner of my
studio waiting for its mission for two years already. Hopefully this
summer I can use it.

So here is the video:
