PHOTOGRAPHER JAMES HOUSTON PRESENTS ‘NATURAL BEAUTY’ PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK AND EXHIBITION SERIES

Celebrity Portraits forEnvironmental Awareness in Collaboration with Global Green USA® and MILK Studios

Renowned New York based photographer and activist James Houston announces his latest project, NATURAL BEAUTY, a stunning photographic book and event series featuring some of the world’s most prominent celebrities and top models. In collaboration with MILK Studio, the NATURAL BEAUTY project will raise awareness for the environment and sustainable living with proceeds from book sales and supporting initiatives benefitting Global Green USA.

The NATURAL BEAUTY book of portraits will be released in late spring of 2013 and will follow with an exhibition in New York City in April. The book includes 120 stunning images of some of the world’s leading models and celebrities advocating with Houston for environmental awareness, including Emma Watson, Christy Turlington, Adrian Grenier, Brooke Shields, Arizona Muse, Elle Macpherson and many more. Houston looks towards the beauty of nature as the inspiration for this body of work, incorporating natural elements into many of the images.

“This project merges my longtime interest in the human form and my passion for the natural world,” says Houston. “NATURAL BEAUTY was created to celebrate the beauty of nature, emphasizing what we still have versus what we have lost. I hope to raise environmental awareness among the younger audience through this project.”

Houston is recognized as one of the leading beauty and body photographers in the world, and works regularly with leading celebrities such as Hugh Jackman, Jessica Alba, Kirsten Dunst and Cate Blanchett as well as high-profile brands such as L’Oreal Paris, Donna Karan, Hugo Boss and GAP. Four award winning international books have been published on his work. The most recent, titled MOVE (PowerHouse Books), was created to benefit various HIV/AIDS charities and raised close to US$500,000. The book project titled MOVE FOR AIDS was launched in 2006 with the support of Elton John, Hugh Jackman and Baz Luhrmann.

“I was honored when James came to Global Green asking if we would be his charitable partner and beneficiary on NATURAL BEAUTY, knowing the incredible work he has done to support important causes in the past,” says Petersen, President and CEO of Global Green USA. “When an individual like James goes to great lengths to take responsibility and action, it helps inspire others to join the fight against environmental degradation and climate change.”

Launching simultaneously with World Earth Week 2013, NATURAL BEAUTY will debut at MILK Gallery in New York the evening of April 23rd. The exhibition will be open to the public at MILK Gallery until May 5th, 2013 from 11:00am to 7:00pm Monday through Friday and 11:00am to 6:00pm Saturday and Sunday.
