Before mentioning the current affairs, David Schonauer interrogates beauty. He begins with Architectural Digest magazine‘s cover made by Todd Eberle, where Vidal Sassoon and his wife can be seen posing in their villa in Bel Air (California), each one holding their respective dogs in their arms. Continuing with the cover of Success and the frightening portrait of a laughing Mark Zuckerberg, by Jill Greenberg.
In Men’s Journal, it’s a question about industrial beauty. Edward Burtynski has shot the Nampu Bridge in Shanghai and a shipbreaker in Bangladesh.
Before the big day, in a hangar of the Royal Air Force, an image of Prince William dressed in his pilot uniform and his grandmother, the Queen Elizabeth II by Christopher Furlong (New York Times).
For a story on aging, Patrick Demarchellier (Allure magazine) has portrayed women a little bit older then very young, but also completely magnificent, such as Brooke Shields and Patti Hensen.
David Schonauer turns then to current affairs, where there is no question about beauty, featuring the Ivory Coast and the photos by Phillippe Lsiazek (Newsweek) and Emmanuel Braun (Time). The two president’s sides are depicted, save for the French intervention army. How far will the massacres of innocents go?
The last images belong to Libya, featuring photographs by Yuri Kozyrev who has been following the rebels (Time) and another by Moises Saman, portraying a young woman dancing almost in front of the lens, brandishing a picture of Muammar Gaddafi (New York Times).
