.
His latest project, ‘Sexxfashion’ series as seen below, he engages us in an evocative play of light and color ; suggesting shape through the use of sheer fabric which almost looks like lurex tightly puled over the body. The result are strange, creepy almost fetus like images, perhaps Wickbold is using this as an investigation of anonymity within a creative context..
Wickbold has worked in numerous artistic genres including poetry, music, and he studied television broadcasting. He has no formal education in photography, however Wickbold believes that “photographic technique is so basic that what truly makes the difference is feeling and composition.” As he began his journey into photography,he took a year off and drove around Brazil photographing any and everything. His talent is evident in the images below……..able to take so many different kinds of images.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
Brazilian born, Sao Paolo based photographer Gabriel Wickbold is 27 years old and self taught, ”I picked up some tips from my photographer friends, and made a research laboratory in my studio,” he recalls. “Every day I discover how to do different kinds of lighting. But for me, it’s about much more than the perfect lighting setup. It’s about the perfect vibe.” His bright color palate and passionate sexual energy seem to scream of his nationality, Brazil is pure rawness with a sense of pride in the half naked bodies scattered throughout . There is not much puritan thinking down there, and Wickbold’s wet,sticky series “Sexual Color’s” is a great example of that.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
