HANGING ON
TO SUMMER
W
of makeup and the model’s expressions. Chidsey uses
cool tones and sharp contrast to create a timeless series
that feels intimate and voyeuristic at the same time.
ith Issue 9 of SESSIONS Magazine being
released at a time when the days are becoming
shorter and summer is coming to an end, I was
definitely hanging on to some elements of the warm
weather, and I don’t mean my Birkenstocks. Don’t
get me wrong, one of the things I love about living in
Canada is the diversity between the seasons, and in
Issue 9 of SESSIONS Magazine I tried to transition
from light to dark in a way that I felt was really easy
on the eyes.

The written word can be wonderful when paired
with photographs, and articles are something that we
hope to receive more and more of. Pouyan Fard, a
videographer from Toronto, wrote on an interesting
and familiar topic of video in the fashion industry. In
Fashion in Motion on page 71, Fard isn’t talking about
footage of models strutting down a runway but videos
as an individual artistic piece different from the fashion
photo shoot. Something to consider when you’re
planning your next editorial.
There are a few photo series this month that took my
breath away when they landed in my mailbox, and
even now as I see them in my layouts. A collection of
fashion portraits by Janine Joffe on page 19, entitled
In A Reverie, was one that had that ere of late summer,
like you could almost smell the cool air in the garden
pictured. I found these extremely inspiring, so much so
that I dug out my camera, phoned up a friend of mine
who is a model, and hit the streets to get my photo fix!
I don’t shoot as often as I used to, but I still love that
feeling when I see that perfect shot through my lens,
and know that it was worth it to get out there.
I think that the October geared submissions we
received really add to the seasonal transition of images
within the magazine. Two series that I find really eye
catching are The Dark Arts by Kira Bucca on page 113,
and Collared by Morgan Chidsey on page 187. Bucca’s
photos take a conventional beauty accessories story
and turn it on it’s head, making an almost intense use
in the

Traditional art also makes another appearance, with
illustrations from Arber Thano on page 199 and Susie
Loow on page 49, both of whom have very unique
styles. Loow sketches and paints her interpretation of
fashion design giants Dior and Valentino, which land
somewhere between a design sketch and a painting
begging to be framed and displayed, while Thano’s
illustrations express his thought provoking emotions
and opinions on political and social events throughout
the world.
With a new season comes new opportunities
for inspiration and creativity, and with Issue 9
of SESSIONS Magazine I hope that you feel the
transition from bright to light, and feel the urge to
make the most of these final days of summer.

and cover.
Occupation: Graphic Designer / Fine Artist
City: New York City
Years in the Biz: 3 years
Inspired by: For starters you have to be
honest with yourself because that's where
the best art comes from. I am often inspired
by the smallest things in life (e.g. someones
smile, a flower, tears, the sky, the clouds,
sounds) but someones life can also be
inspirational. I think my best work has
come from overcoming life challenges. I
experience the greatest accomplishment
when I am holding a completed art piece
that represents a snap shot of the world. The
biggest challenge with my type of art is
integrating on paper everything that is
racing through my head. I continue to be
inspired by the fact that anyone can make
up their own story using my art work. It is
one thing to have a talent for imagination
but it's a whole different talent to put it
down on paper.
Describe your artistic style: My style has
been described as "Intensive Graphics"
by RAW Natural Born Artists. It consists
mostly of symbols and recognizable objects
that tell a story. The biggest challenge is not
coming up with the topic or the symbols
to tell that story, but actually putting
my thoughts and feelings on paper and
connecting them all together. Each art piece
is original and there are no rough-drafts.
Upcoming exhibitions: September 13 I
have a showcase in Downtown Brooklyn
which is organized by RAW Natural Born
Artists. This will be my second one within
the last two months.
JANINE JOFFE
Occupation:
Photographer
City: New Orleans,
Louisiana
Years in the Biz:
I’ve been shooting for 7-8 years, but professionally for 2.
Inspired by: After moving to New Orleans in 2011, I
have often found myself inspired by the environment
around me. There are so many ‘diamonds in the rough’
- it’s hard to not be inspired by such unusual locations! And of course, I am continuously inspired by many
the photographers I look up to such as Miles Aldridge,
Sølve Sundsbo, Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, Ellen Von
Unwerth (just to name a few).
Describe your photographic style: From the time I
first picked up a camera, I have always maintained a
dark aesthetic. Over time, my visions developed and
now, my photos have a stronger sense of structure,
sophistication and raw emotion. I would loosely define
my photographic style as being romantic with a dark,
quirky edge.
Any artists in your family or ancestry?: My mother was
an opera singer (now turned actress), and my father is
an instrumental musician. I think it’s safe to say I had a
rather creative upbringing.
Upcoming editorials: Keep an eye out for my spread, ‘In
Dreams of Mine’ coming out in Kenton Magazine the
first week of October.

Artwork by SUSIE LOOW
Susie Loow is an architecture graduate with
a great interest in illustration. Her work
usually lingers around a combination of text
and imagery. Cover and campaign artwork,
posters and illustrations make up her recent
list of work.
For these pieces, Susie was browsing for
new illustration ideas when she found Dior’s
mesmerizing pieces. She started with a
few simple drawings and they snowballed
from there, soon discovering that Valentino
was another designer to be considered for
this series. To execute, she used her usual
technique and developed her own Haute
Couture illustration style.
