Henrik Purienne has a remarkable eye for the lascivious-realistic look of the 1970s – and he’s brought his crackling, erotic snapshots to a global audience. The South African photographer and filmmaker has worked for American Apparel and Playboy, taking aesthetic inspiration from the films of John Cassavetes and Eric Rohmer. Since 2009 he has also served as editor of Mirage Magazine. Henrik Purienne’s portfolio can be seen at purienne.com.
