Eugenio Recuenco

Awhile back I did a post about fashion photographer, Tim Walker. Thanks to a fellow blogger who pointed out that I inadvertently included some photos by Eugenio Recuenco. Oops.

Recuenco is famous photographer from Madrid, Spain. His works includes film, advertising, and print media. In Spain he shoots exclusively for Vogue. His amazing work captures your imagination and every single picture tells a story.



Recuenco's personal style is known to be called ”cinematographic” and “pictorial"


These photos above could be right out of the 1920's. He captures the Art Deco era beautifully.


Note the photo on the left imitating Tamara de Limpicka's famous painting, Girl in a Green Dress. What brilliant work.






Eugenio Recuenco's work is decadent, don't you agree? You can check out his extensive portfolio here.
