rus anson

today i discovered a new to me
photographer / storyteller...
her name is rosanna, and she
goes by rus.

i found her through the APA awards.
she won 1st place in the student
category. yes, she's a student at the
academy of art university in
san francisco.

i can't even to begin to articulate
how magical the work is that she
captures with the help of stylists,
assistants, hair and makeup, and
models.

she sounds like a beautiful spirit
too. from her about page ~ "i would
like to make people forget the
troubles of the world and concentrate
on their wishes and hopes." i did so
just by looking at her work.

below are some images from the september issue of 7x7. read about the behind-the-scenes here.

i especially love this one, since i have a thing for dressing trees.

and this reminds me so much of anthropologie's november catalog. don't you think?

 her work and blog.
