[*Cape Town based photographer Henrik Purienne is terribly talented, and he’s must be the best of them. His work opens sexual doors, with a style very provocateur, edgy, intimate and sexy wich remind us the spirit of 70′s. But even with a work like this, he keeps impeccable elegance in his photos with his models. He have a similar style with photographers such as Terry Richardson, Marc Van Dalen or Knotan. He’s also the founder of Mirage Magazine. A work who must be seen! More photographs after the jump and on his website Purienne.com.*]
