The Beauty of Space Photography
Space presents a fantastic mystery to human life. Unfathomably large, with characteristics that defy our experience and understanding, the stars have perplexed and amazed humanity for our entire recorded history, and likely before. In the present, astrophysicists and astronomers are aggressively studying the universe in an attempt to solve critical scientific and philosophical questions. One of the primary tools for measurement and observation is imaging using cameras connected to powerful telescopes on Earth and in space. And although it's not the primary motivation for photographing space, beauty is one of the most intriguing byproducts. Images of space communicate the grandeur of the universe, and spark essential curiosities about what may be out there waiting for us once we make our way into the stars.

Behind the Scenes - Louis Vuitton SS12 ad campaign
"The spirit of our Spring/Summer 2012 collection is reflected beautifully in this new ad campaign," says Louis Vuitton Artistic Director Marc Jacobs. "All the tone and texture of the collection -- the lightness, the prettiness, the broderie anglaise, the millefeuille layers of organza -- are recreated in these wonderful images by Steven Meisel.
