As most of you know, I’m a big art and fashion aficionado. My latest discovery is an exhibition of celebrity portrait photography as you’ve never seen them before. The exhibit called Shooting Stars showcases the excellent talent behind the camera and is presented by W Magazine and Conde Nast. Shooting Stars pays homage when Art meets Fashion.
W Magazine Movie Issue
Jennifer Lawrence
Pharrell Williams

Although the venue is small, the presentation is amazingly dramatic and the ambiance will take you to a visual journey of digital screens and striking celebrity over sized prints as seen in W Magazine archives by notable photographers including Steven Klein, Mario Sorrenti, Mert Alas, Marcus Piggot, Juergen Teller, Tim Walker and more.
Kristen Stewart
George Clooney
Celebrity subjects include Miley Cyrus laying bare, Rosamund Pike looking like “Gone Girl”, Jessica Chastain posing as a Hollywood glamour girl, Jennifer Lawrence sucking her thumb and other celebrity subjects like Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis, and Kristen Stewart.
