RELEASE NOTES

摘要

WHEN SENIOR PHOTO EDITOR Maria Lokke heard about this month's Gadget Lab theme-photography-she decided to go meta. "I thought we could reference the history of the art form in a playful way." She tapped New York-based photographer Caroline Tompkins and a pair of Bay Area models to concoct a photo-shoot-themed photo shoot. “There are little Easter eggs in the pictures that you'll pick up on if you've worked on a set," Lokke says. These range from the conspicuous (clamps securing a muslin backdrop) to the insider-y (that's Tompkins on page 48). Lokke didn't simply nod to tradition, though; she shook it up. "Because gear is something that is traditionally a male space in the photo world, I really wanted a woman to shoot it," she says. "Caroline was perfect."
