Amazing how you get round to snapping these very unique moments! The energy in this pic is impressive (probably conveyed through the whole composition and lighting??)
It does remind me of the Le Smoking photo with the cigarettes, but while Newton’s shot has an icy sort of louche sexiness, this shot has a much more organic-feeling sensuality.
Yes a pastiche of the famlous Helmut Newton shot, Scott must have seen that crucial moment, as usual… I like it! So much that it made me forget how much I hate smoking, if only for a few seconds.
something extremely sexy — much sexier than the conventional notion of sexiness — about this photo. not sure what it is. could be a bit of everything…
Effectivement cette oeuvre d’art photographique de Scott rappelle celle, extraordinaire prise rue Aubriot a Paris en 1975.
Cette photo a revolutionne le monde “avant-guardiste ” feminin.
This is a stunning photo! I haven´t smoked for more than two years now but these Italian ladies make me want to lit up a cigarette right now…hehe Greetings from Argentina ;D
Helmet Newton anyone? Been done before, but with greater finesse. Understandably hard to be original these days with anything fashion-related. Still… Nice effort.
GREAT mood. Something sexy and naughty about this picture, yet so innocent of two girls sharing a moment. PERFECT!
XOXO
-Daisy Nguyen from PS BANANAS fashion blog: http://psbananas.com
This captures the moment so perfectly. Love it. As a parent and a former smoker though it makes me a bit sad to still see so many beautiful people smoking…
This is smoking HOT! Maybe my most favorite pictures of yours. A top 10 at least. Really sexy and sensual. The one to the right looks like a “bad” girl in a great way :)
While I was opening the photo and I was looking the mac screen I saw only the right woman kissing somebody on the left…I thought it was a romantic shoot!
Being the last comment, I don’t have much to add, but it’s true that this photo reminds me of Newton’s Le Smoking in 1975.
Anyway, I think that this photo is probably one of the best on this site.
Bravo Scott !
Wow Scott! This image is on a par with Helmut Newton’s “Le Smoking” photo. What an eye you have. Did you realise how iconic the image was before you shot it? x

Bonjour !
Cette photo est magnifique, j’avais juste une question Ă poser : est ce que vous demandez / prĂ©venez les personnes avant de les prendre en photo ? Ou les prenez-vous sur le vif et après vous leur demandez l’autorisation ? Parce que souvent, lorsque l’on demande aux personnes si on peut les prendre, celles-ci “prennent la pause” et le naturel s’Ă©chappe, alors je me demandais en voyant vos photos qui sont naturelles malgrĂ© que les gens regardent bien droit votre objectif, comment vous procĂ©diez.
Merci beaucoup !
