Newly launched Lonny Magazine experienced some slight growing pains yesterday going down for a bit after, style guru, Gwyneth Paltrow gave props in her November GOOP newsletter. This fresh of the virtual presses lifestyle mag is the brainchild of veteran blogger/designer Michelle Adams and photographer Patrick Cline who’ve named it as a nod to their two fave cities, London and New York. Their fresh take on web editorial utilizes the click/drag web mag format and maintains traditional two page spreads. The two earned their periodical chops at Domino Magazine which closed in 2008. While advertising is definitely driving this machine, the vivid photography and pointed articles outweigh the many full page ads. They have even tapped Design*Sponge’s Grace Bonney for their premier issue, giving us an inside look into her Brooklyn abode. We eagerly await the next issue, which is slated to hit the web early December. Until then we’ll keep enjoying Michelle’s blog M.A Belle and Rubie Green, where she currently sells her wares.

Check out this new video by friend of Neu Black Anna Wolf for Untitled Magazine. Anna is a New York based fashion photographer with clients like Target, MTV, and Virgin Mobile. We’re happy to see she’s making the jump to live action and doing it with the same subtle beauty as her still work.

Some amazing work from Colombian photographer Basilio Silva. He is currently based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he has created ESTUDIOMOD, together with the Fashion Stylist and Producer Josefina Pérez Larsen and Art Director Gaston Cardozo.
Silva began his career as a documentary photographer and later entered the world of fashion photography and advertising. We’d say he made the right call. More beautiful images after the jump.

Zoey Grossman has everything we love in a fashion photographer. Beautiful color, great story telling, and women so beautiful they make you completely forget about the clothing. Great fashion photography should be sexy above all else, and Grossman has a knack for presenting her models with that hyper realistic sense of the feminine form.

More of her amazing work after the jump.
