Belgian photographer Willy Vanderperre’s work possesses the chic, muted sobriety that has garnered him clients like Jil Sander and AnOther Magazine, both arbiters of serious cool in their own right. Often shooting in black and white, Vanderperre’s photos, while still very much in keeping with fashion, tell stories… exquisitely beautiful stories.

We hope everyone had a lovely Sunday celebrating their father. Here’s Ann-Margret tearing up the dance floor with her daddy, Gustav Olsson (1961). Take a look at LIFE Magazine’s pictorial to see more glamorous pops with their offspring in the ’60s.

Dreamy without being too precious, the work of Philadelphia and NYC-based photographer Ryan James Caruthers often superimposes landscapes over human forms, like the images seen above. The shots that go without digital manipulation are still strong, given its brooding, cinematic quality, exploring life though the eyes of, as he puts it on his Twitter page, a “teenage dirtbag.”

French photographer Jeanloup Sieff got his start — unofficially, of course — at the age of 14, when he was given a Photax plastic camera as a birthday gift in 1947. Thirteen years later, Sieff was traveling to the United States for his work with Glamour, Vogue, Esquire, and Harper’s Bazaar, shooting images like the one seen above. Sieff managed to capture beautiful women not merely posing, but existing in the world for a moment. There is much to learn about Sieff, and if you’ve got a craving to dig deeper, we suggest checking the link below.

Taken for Vogue in 1977, this shot by Scottish photographer Albert Watson still feels relevant today. Though well known for his fashion and art photography, Watson’s most recognizable image is a portrait of Alfred Hitchcock holding a dead goose, which ran in Harper’s Bazaar in 1973 — his first celebrity portrait of many. Over the course of his impressive career, Watson has shot everyone from President Bill Clinton to Kate Moss.

Since the beginning of his career in the early ’60s, British photographer David Bailey has been considered one of the best in the business, shooting everyone from Sir Michael Caine to The Beatles to Mick Jagger. His work was so impressive, in fact, he was contracted by Vogue at the ripe old age of 23. Though he is best known for his work capturing “swinging London” at its height, as well as his countless images of model Jean Shrimpton, Bailey is still around today, shooting for the likes of i-D Magazine and GQ.

Photographers, when they’re doing it right, should be storytellers. Such is the case for Colin Leaman, a Philly-based photographer whose work takes a quirky, observational distance from his subjects, a style that has earned his photography a place in Oyster Magazine. Similar in tone to his professional work but a little more casual, Leaman’s Instagram feed is a never-ending stream of pretty girls and equally pretty locations, mixed in with regular life back home. A must-follow, in our humble opinion.

Best known for his images of young women, British-born French photographer David Hamilton has been as critically acclaimed as he’s been critically received. That being said, his dreamy, soft-focused images have been found everywhere from the pages of Vogue to Elle. Despite personal opinions of Hamilton’s work, he has been a mainstay in both the fashion and art worlds, with images that evoke a strong narrative and unique point of view. To dig through the David Hamilton archives yourself, head on over to eBay for a selection of photography books and a handful of collectible prints.

This past weekend, we had the chance to check out Bert Stern’s “Original Mad Men” exhibition at the Staley Wise Gallery in New York (running through May 18th, 2013). On display were a selection of his works, including some of his infamous shots of Marilyn Monroe, as well as Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, and Marlon Brando. There’s something about a vintage black and white photograph (or colored image for that matter) to add a unique kick to a room. Check out eBay’s smattering of Marilyn Monroe prints - for any price budget.
