Hedi Slimane is hands down my favorite photographer these days. After quitting his position as the creative director and chief designer of Dior Homme, Slimane has been producing some of the most inspired photography.
Slimane’s latest photography project is called ‘Liberation.’ Slimane photographed the training of the students at École Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr (Special Military School of St Cyr) in France with his trademark black and white realistic style.
The images of liberation are proof of the genius of this photographer who rebels against the obsession with Photoshop and fake models.
