Grey is a sultry hardback magazine aimed at the serious culture junkies out there.
Grey contains humourless yet cutting edge accounts of fashion, photography, poetry, art and film. It’s got a serious tone and beautifully photographs items from all the top design collections, styling the models according to this season’s key themes.
The film reviews are ornately written, as are the creative pieces, and are printing alongside some striking original illustrations. There is plenty to sink your teeth into and it proves to be an exhilarating read what with witty pieces, sketches, comics and abstract prints. Of course, there are some stunning items of clothing and a multitude of accessories to die for. Its also seriously heavy.

This is the sort of magazine that will remain rare and keep, like a good wine, for decades. Grey displays so many perfect examples of studio photography just flicking through the pages has got me craving for my Nikon and a few hours booked in the photographic studio. My favourite kinds of photographs to take are portraits, either in sultry and moody lighting or sending a certain message.
The best studio shoot I ever ran was based around the themes of Alice in Wonderland. Now I know you’re thinking teacups and playing cards, but I tried to progress deeper into the meaning behind the storyline. Not many people know that The Mad Hatter was mad due to Mercury poisoning, an ailment that many hat makers suffered from during the Victorian period. Mercury was used to brush down top hats to give them a protective layer. For the shoot I dressed my model in just a top hat and poured silver paint over the hat and down her back. The result was not dissimilar to some Grey Magazine’s shots, as it came out very eerie and dreamlike.
Whether shooting fashion or not, portraits should be able to reflect some sort of mood, theme or message in just one shot. It’s not always about looking beautiful either; Rankin has done some incredible portraits of anybody and everybody, taking the subject’s personality into careful consideration rather than how they wish to be depicted. This tactic gives the image a great deal more flair and character, something the photographers at Grey are experts at achieving.
