SUMMER-ENHANCING PEOPLE

Ultra Beach: Henrik Purienne

The photographs of South African photographer Henrik Purienne offer high-fashion escapism. "What is an average day like for Henrik Purienne?" an interviewer once asked. "I wouldn't know," the South African photographer replied. Unless, of course, average can be defined as hedonistic, sun-drenched, and beachside. Draped across a vintage car or an unmade bed, rolling in the sand, or standing waist-high in an endless ocean…

Purienne’s cover and spread for Vogue Paris (July 2020)

Highlights

  • Firing questions with Purienne:
    What’s most important to you?

    “Everything. And nothing. But nothing in between”

  • Maison Kitsuné’s curation of their favourite Purienne photographs alongside a shorthand interview (NSFW)

  • Purienne “captures provocation combined with a tropical ambience, giving feelings of serenity and summertime” in his second coffee table book HOLIDAY, shot on 35mm

  • The house that Henrik grew up in in South Africa

  • JamaisVu is an anthology of four issues of Mirage Magazine, a collaboration between Henrik Purienne and art director Frank Rocholl. The newest edition of Mirage Magazine, Voyage Lumière, is a “sensorial journey that will take us to Capri, Formentera or French Polynesia, to glimpses of the present made from bright bits of the past, or of dreams we had forgotten”

  • A series of photographs by Henrik Purienne for Yves Saint Laurent (NSFW)

  • “A Good-Looking Chaos”: Purienne chats to Vogue about his book Jeux de Peau (NSFW)

  • In PAPER magazine: “I like to at least imagine that there is a return to simplicity. To content over form. To a DIY approach to creation. The return of the auteur.”


SUMMER-ENHANCING VEHICLES
