“We really did fly our aviators to Hawaii, because when a frame becomes a cultural staple, it deserves a getaway,” writes AC EYE about Anne Menke’s cover story. Shot in Hawaii, the series combines beach atmosphere with iconic sunglass aesthetics as a mix of surf culture, jet set and modern American lifestyle.
Anne Menke stages her models with her signature natural, light-filled visual language somewhere between beach editorial, travel magazine and contemporary fashion photography. At the center are classic aviator silhouettes, described by AC EYE as timeless icons: “Universally flattering and endlessly influential.”
The photographer describes herself as “a free spirit who needs to be fed with things I love: traveling and discovering new places, people, cultures, and discovering new projects” - an approach that is equally reflected in her work: free-spirited, sun-drenched and always close to people, places and atmosphere.
