PHOTO BY EDWARD BESS (AFANADOR), SELF PORTRAIT (MORROCCO), CHRISTOPHE KUTNER (HERRERA MALATESTA) Contributors 42 BAL HARBOUR MATTHEW MORROCCO is an artist with degrees from NYU and Columbia University. For this issue, he turned his camera on stylist and fashion collector David Casavant. "Working with David and his team was an amazing opportunity" Morrocco says of the shoot. "The setting, their attention to detail and interest in clothes and contemporary culture was thrilling to witness." RUVEN AFANADOR has been behind the lens since he first held a camera at the age of 14. Since then, the Colombia-born photographer has shot nearly every major living artist, musician, dancer, actor, politician, and super model, bringing a contrast of masculinity and femininity into his innumerable portraits, fashion spreads, and three books of photography. For this issue, Afanador shot model Mary Crimmins wearing fall's oversized outerwear at Philip Johnson's Glass House. ROMINA HERRERA MALATESTA is an Argentinian- born, New York City-based stylist with a global perspective. Her modern, minimalist aesthetic has been called on by clients including Neiman Marcus, Time and The Sunday Times among others, and can be seen in Un-Titled Project magazine, of which she is the global fashion director. Herrera Malatesta styled three fashion spreads in this issue of Bal Harbour. "In the end all these stories embodied a powerful celebration of the beauty and boldness of women today."
