“Rotterdam-based photographer Ari Versluis and stylist Ellie Uyttenbroek have worked together since October 1994. Inspired by a shared interest in the striking dress codes of various social groups, they have systematically documented numerous identities over the last 13 years. Rotterdam’s heterogeneous, multicultural street scene remains a major source of inspiration for Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek, although since 1998 they have also worked in cities abroad. They call their series Exactitudes: a contraction of exact and attitude. By registering their subjects in an identical framework, with similar poses and a strictly observed dress code, Versluis and Uyttenbroek provide an almost scientific, anthropological record of people’s attempts to distinguish themselves from others by assuming a group identity. The apparent contradiction between individuality and uniformity is, however, taken to such extremes in their arresting objective-looking photographic viewpoint and stylistic analysis that the artistic aspect clearly dominates the purely documentary element.” - Wim van Sinderen, Senior Curator Museum of Photography, The Hague

I wonder if the master himself updates his diary - probably not, because Hedi Slimane, former head of design at Dior, might be too busy. Although i really would like to know the photographers behind, today i don´t really care about the “who”, ´cause the “what” strikes my eyes. The daily updated Hedi Slimane Diary is a real treasure chest for black-and-white lovers and for me, the site became an institutional starting point for my working days.

Some of you might have already seen Chris Heads´ photo series “Dolls”. It´s notTHE freshest photo project, but still, a series worth to mention. And besides that, its one more reason to turn heads into Chris Heads direction. He´s a great photographer with a keen and sometimes unconventional eye on female beauty.
