Christina Hendricks by Marco Grob


Last week I met the photographer of this stunning photograph of Mad Men star Christina Hendricks that everyone is talking about. His name is Marco Grob and his work is the most original I have seen in years. This cover has prompted much discussion over the past weeks for its beautiful depiction of a natural woman. No retouching, no fake tan - just the beautiful female form in all its glory. Grob and New York Magazine deserve kudos for this cover and, like much of Grob's work, I think this image is going to be remembered and celebrated in decades to come. I also think that if Hendricks wasn't a feminist icon before, her status should rightly be secured now.
