White Heat

Less is more. Horacio Salinas’s still-life photography is a study in simplicity, with stunning results. “White Heat” won the Photo Portfolio “Ellie” at the 2007 National Magazine Awards, beating out Vogue (Annie Leibovitz), W  (Bruce Weber), Details (Michael Thompson), and CITY’s second nominee in the category, “Penitentiary” (Kenji Toma).  Filmmaker John Waters perhaps summed up the story best when presenting CITY with the Ellie: “In ‘White Heat,’ Horacio Salinas plays with the very idea of what a fashion shoot can be. A series of clever contrasts—black and white, industrial and delicate, iconic and ethereal—turn a few items of clothing into a simple, graceful, and fully realized artistic vision.”
