It's not often that celebrities, when approached to be the cover model for a publication, get to take the photo themselves, but that was exactly the case with The FADER’s 100th Issue that features singer Rihanna. Photographer Renata Raksha gave Rihanna complete control for The FADER’s 100th Issue, allowing the shoot to last from dawn till dusk to capture the singer at her absolute most sincerest, relaxed moments.
Paired with an essay that looks to get down to the core of who Rihanna is as a person and an artist, The FADER’s 100th Issue cover is raw yet polished, high fashion yet laid back and everywhere in between. Currently available for preorder, The FADER’s 100th Issue will be hitting newsstands soon.
