One of my favorite fashion photographers has always been John Rawlings, for his dreamy sense of color, surrealist tableau settings, cinematic concepts and mannequin-esque models. He was a visionary to behold, and i'd love my life to resemble a bit more what he saw through the lens.
Here are some favorite Rawlings shots to set the Summertime mood (all photos were taken from 1941-1965) . . .
