See all tagsArtist, director, actor, author – is there any creative career James Franco hasn’t tried his hand at in recent years? Hollywood’s favorite multi-hyphenate seems keen on testing his skills in numerous arenas so it is unsurprising to see him giving fashion photography a go. In the newest Elle Franco shoots Agyness Deyn as a latter day James Dean (Deyn also serves as fashion editor) while Natalia Bonifacci plays Sal Mineo in Franco’s gender-bending tribute to Rebel Without A Cause.
It is always cool to see newcomers take on the traditional fashion editorial and Franco’s snapshots have a certain unstudied quality that makes them interesting; are you a fan of his efforts, or do you think he’s better off sticking to his day job? Let us know in the comments!

Wish this guy would stay in his element. I’ve seen much better shoots…it so demeans actual talented fashion photogs to know that he will get coverage for this when it is amateurish at best.

The photography is nothing special, but I like the styling.

This is fashion photography 101, and the whole James Dean angle is beyond cliche, especially by him. I have never gotten the appeal Agyness, and these pics haven’t changed my opinion of her.

janelle – agyness didn’t style the shoot but was the “fashion editor”. ilaria urbinati was the stylist – her name is on the last page along with the rest of the credits.

Funny, a name really helps…if an unknown photographer had sent these in, they never would have been published as they are that basic…the celebrity obsession continues.
