The Face – The New Reality Show

Following in the footsteps of fellow supermodel Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell has announced that she will discover the next beautiful face of the modeling world thanks to a new reality show.

Scheduled to hit television screens in 2013, The Face will air on America's Oxygen network, with the 41-year-old British model coaching a group of unknown models as they embark on photo shoots, runway shows and commercials before the eventual winner becomes “the face” of a major brand.

Campbell’s vision for the show is for it to give audience’s an insider look into the industry that has treated her so well for years. Campbell will be one of three model judges, with the remaining two yet to be revealed. Perhaps fellow 1990s supers Cindy Crawford, Eva Herzigova or Helena Christensen could join – Christensen has already helped discover fashion faces of the future via the Crystallized Swarovski Unsigned Model Search.

Judging from the response other modeling industry shows have got, the show should be a hit.

8 Hours with Taylor

Taylor Swift is one of the most iconic pop artists of our time and has taken not just the music industry but the fashion world by storm too. She has emerged from being a teen-starlet to a now more glamorous, edgier, sexier Taylor. And a new photo book, shot by Nigel Barker for Sony, shows off this new Taylor as she transforms from the everyday Californian girl to glamorous Hollywood star to chic performer.

Nigel Barker, known for being one of the judges on Tyra Banks’ America’s Next Top Model and for being one of the best photographers in the business, photographed an entire book’s worth of images in one day and has thus been entitled 8 Hours/Taylor Swift.

Taylor and Nigel are two of the celebrity ambassadors for Sony’s 2012 holiday campaign. The 60 page photo book, which is a limited edition and only available to American customers who purchase a Sony Alpha DSLR or NEX camera at a Sony store, is one of the most extensive photo collections of Taylor to date. Ten copies, signed by both Nigel and Taylor, will also be auctioned off on eBay by Sony, with all proceeds benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Nigel used three different Sony cameras: the Sony a99 DSLR for elevated color contrast, the Sony NEX-5R for capturing fast-action movement, and the Sony RX100 DSC for low-light situations. Nigel also shot multiple short films of Taylor on the day of the shoot.

And 22-year-old Taylor is mesmerizing and intriguing in every shot, proving Nigel is worth his mettle.
