The Beauty of Table Tennis. Literally and Figuratively. Meet Sooyeon Lee.

Filmmaker and photographer Matthew Donaldson filmed model/actress and professional Korean Table Tennis champ Sooyeon Lee in a slow motion homage to both sport and fashion. The skilled and sexy Sooyeon is wearing fashions by Versace, Jil Sander, Christopher Kane, Mark Fast, and Christian Louboutin as she skillfully demonstrates her Ping Pong prowess in the one minute and 48 second film created for Nowness.



Designer Geraldine Chevrolet was commissioned by stylist Katie Shillingford to create the bespoke fringed tights, gloves and hat that are paired with the couture.



Tennis Table champ Sooyeon Lee serves as an Ambassador for actress Susan Sarandon's SPiN, a chain of ping-pong clubs which counts Lee as its ambassador and has locations in New York, Toronto and Hollywood. "It's become very trendy," Lee observes. "It's sociable, you don't need to be super athletic and it's good for the brain."

Milk Does A Body Good In Photos By Andrei Razumovsky. (NSFW)

Milk may be good for your bones, skin and hair, but in these very titillating photos it will get your pulse racing, too.



Russian photographer and expert retoucher Andrei (Andrey) Razumovsky, who goes by Razooma on the web, frequently works with nudes and special effects in his large portfolio of commercial photography.



One of his series of images, Milk (Молоко), has various beautiful women dressed -barely- in the calcium laden liquid.

Dreaming Of The Dark Side: A Sexy Star Wars Photo Editorial For Star Wars Day!

As odd as it may seem to some, there are people who find Star Wars very arousing. Sure the lightsabers are phallic and there's a lot of heavy breathing, but canoodling with a Stormtrooper? “Dreaming of the Dark Side” is a photographic editorial of a young girl - dressed as a Twi'lek- lustfully dreaming about Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper, too.

Note: Today is the official Star Wars Day, so tweet this with #starwarsday!



Recently shot by Marie-Louise Cadosch of Marc & Louis photography (as a tribute to the photographer's Star Wars-loving sister Kathrin), the editorial stars the beautiful Maura Waller from OPTION Models dreamily cavorting with members of the Dark Side.














Swiss Garrison provided the photographers with Darth Vader and the stormtroopers and the makeup was done by Lilith Amrad.

About Marc & Louis:

above: photographer Marie-Louise Cadosch and production manager, Gian Marc Cadosch

Marc & Louis Photography is a team of photographers who do far more than just conveying the ineffable. They are creators and ambassadors of art which fuels the imagination. Their images are coined by a wide range of influences that still manage to accumulate to form one harmonic overall picture. They tell stories one cannot grasp at just one quick glance. Their images are mystical, dreamful and emotional, almost as if they are drawn by eras, separated by a hundred years, yet they still harbor authenticity and harmony.

Marc & Louis follow a distinctive style that can be found in each and every picture. A style that never bores the eyes of the beholder. Their attention to detail and authentic scenery grants every image an individual ambiance, transforming it into one beautiful piece of art and the story behind it into an epos.

Marc & Louis find the inspiration behind their visual tales in movies and music. They prefer using reality as a setting since natural environments combined with extreme or atypical props allow for a much broader range of possibilities. Marc & Louis images are meticulously prepared works of art which capture moments, emotions, even dreams and coalesce them into one memorable story.
