For those who are unable to access print copies of magazines (which is hugely preferable), the evolution of the interwebs has proved a great advantage, especially in terms of viewing editorials from ridiculously overpriced international magazines. I noticed that a large portion of the shoots from the most recently released Oyster Magazine, being the celebratory 100th issue, have been published and can quite easily be hunted down online. Being one of my favoured publications and the source of most of my suffering (on account of the disgustingly awesome models, styling, interviews and photography featured) I've composed this post entirely consisting of images from issue #100. The parts I find to be the most exciting include Ollie's bare/albino body, the spiderweb printed swimsuits in the photo essay, Maria Palm's stoner face and the Sashimi-Leg combination, and of course, the water cooler being used as a prop in the final high fashion 80s themed shoot.

I usually never smile in photos

This guy takes cool photos. I mean obviously, super cool. He's a Sydney photographer who has recently been recruited by the Cobrasnake but as far as I can tell, his work also includes fashion photography, shooting his model friends, running his blog:http://gavrielmaynard.blogspot.com.au and attending all of the coolest social events around town. To be able to shoot so many girls (and guys) in such compromising poses or just completely naked and then posted onto the interwebs, he's got to have some serious credibility and massively respected work. In my opinion, his work resembles that of Terry Richardson, Viktor Vauthier, Byron Spencer and Johnny's Bird photographer, Moni Haworth (though with slightly more drugs and nudity), all of who happen to be some of my favourite photographers. Surprisingly, I wasn't aware of his existence until he approached me and my sister a few weeks ago to be shot, and again last night, where I was able to uncover the depths of his talent. Gavriel Maynard is badass and I'm thinking it needs to be more widely acknowledged.
