Photography inspires us, offering a different perspective on the world or a particular subject and even triggering emotion in the best cases. Take for example the photographs of David Sims, the depth and feeling he captures in his shots makes him a favorite of Emmanuelle Alt. This British fashion photographer is her trusted go-to source for Vogue Paris in addition to his work for many other prominent fashion magazines. After looking at a number of his photographs, you begin to recognize Sims' style. He captures movement with a modern, effortless cool, epitomizing the vibe that Emmanuelle expresses both personally and editorially.

While known primarily for his dynamic fashion images, Sims also produced a limited edition for Visionaire which offers a rare view of his personal work heretofore unseen. The photographs in Visionaire No. 40: Roses highlight the darkness and beauty of the rose, magnifying each detail and resulting in a moving and memorable body of work; the adage “A picture is worth a thousand words” could not be more accurate.


It is likely we will see more of Sims' work now with Emmanuelle at the helm of Vogue Paris, I look forward to more greatness from this dynamic duo of sartorial excellence. View the editorials "Androgyne" and "Girl Meets Boy" in the gallery for examples of their past work together. The images below collecting Sims' work are from Self Service Magazine No. 34. Grazie to Gala for these images!
