The arc of photographer Laurel Dailey’s editorial sensibility bends toward the world of fashion. Her pictures have a sensuality to them, a lushness that derives in part from the close attention she pays to setting. Shirtless men charge across sand dunes or emerge soaking from pools of water. Beautiful women vamp for the camera in front of spreading palm fronds.

In addition to their sultry edge, Dailey’s images convey a certain playfulness; a romping spirit that evokes the hotel bedroom scene from Almost Famous, where the lithe groupies are running around William as he sits on the bed, horny and gloriously confused.
