[Through My Lens] Mexico
Photos by Bobby Reys
It's been about a week since I've been back from Mexico, and I've been going through all the photos I took from all the various spots I visited. It had been awhile since I shot and edited so many photos, but since I was in a new place everyday, I knew on the flight coming back to the States that I'd have some work ahead of me. There were really a lot of photos that I wanted to share, but in the end, I decided on the ones that captured a good portion of what I saw in Mexico. There are shots from cities like San Miguel, Guanajuato, and Morelia to shots that I took in little towns that are probably not even on a map. There was some more stuff I would have liked to capture, but that might have until next time. All in all, it was a good trip, even with all of the police checkpoints when traveling between places. The weather was good, and the food was even better... which I didn't even snap one photo of.

Young Photographer’s Invisible Self-Portrait Series
Photos by Laura Williams
Photographer Laura Williams has been getting some attention for her recent work lately, most notably for her invisible self portrait series. When I stumbled upon some of the photos in the series, I must say that I was pretty impressed because one look at them and all you can say is wow. When I dug deeper, I came across some more of her work, and when you see the images, it's like you're traveling inside someone's dream. There's a really cool creative factor that she has going on with her photos, but it's kind of haunting as well. No matter how you interpret her work, one thing is for sure: Laura has a huge imagination with the talent to create some incredible images. You can check out some of her photos below, and for more of her work, you can visit her Flickr account here.

Mario Testino’s “Perfect Ten” Editorial For W Magazine
Photos by Mario Testino
W Magazine always seems to get it right when it comes to their photo shoots and always having the right photographer to create some great imagery. For their latest editorial titled "Perfect Ten," W Magazine enlisted the help of photographer Mario Testino to photograph some of today's top models. With a title like "Perfect Ten," you can assume that not only are the models stunning, but the photos are, as well, with the likes of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Jourdan Dunn, and Candice Swanepoel among those featured in the spread. The issue is set to be released in March, but you can check out some of the photos here.

[RH Photos] Michelle by Bobby Reys

Recently, I've been taking a lot of landscape shots, and every so often, shooting some architecture that really captures my eye. While I love getting to shot outside in nature, I have always enjoyed shooting portraits, and it has been a couple months since I've done so. A few days ago I hit up Michelle to see if she wanted to shoot and see what we could come up with. With the weather in Chicago still being a little chilly, we decided that we would hit up the Lincoln Park Conservatory and take advantage of the great plant/flower life and use it as a back drop. It was fun getting back to shooting portraits, and I can't wait to continue to do more of them. These are some of the shots that we took that day, and you can see more of them on my blog here.

This week’s featured Instagram comes from @carissa_burton. There's just something about New York and the environment that provides so many photo opportunities, which is a reason I like this gallery. You get a mix of the nitty gritty of New York, and she also is able to capture its beauty through her lens. I really enjoy this Instagram account for the mix of photos that she takes as she hits the streets of NY. Take a look at a few of her shots, and be sure to head on over to her Instagram for more great photos.

Stacie Hess For Treats! Magazine [NSFW]
Photography by Kody James
Treats! Magazine has enlisted photographer Kody James of Sugar Los Angeles to shoot a photo series grouped into two parts. The exclusive series stars Stacie Hess and captures her in some very intimate moments with a lot of candid shots. Kody's main goal when he started Sugar Los Angeles was to showcase women in a natural way with no lighting, make up, hair, or retouching in any of the images he created. I think he certainly has achieved and exceeded his goals with both of the photo sets. You can see the second photo set here where he captures model Stacie Hess during the magic hour using the natural light to produce some nice imagery. Make sure to view more of the photos and the first set here.
