Tyra Banks, the gorgeous supermodel and host of “America’s Next Top Model”, has been photographed for an upcoming exhibit where she impersonates her fellow supermodels, Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford.
The photographs are for Udo Spreitzenbarth’s exhibition titled, “Tyra Banks Presents: 15”. The exhibit also includes photographs of Banks as Linda Evangelista, Lauren Hutton, Jerry Hall, Iman, Twiggy, Brooke Shields, Claudia Schiffer, Carmen Dell’Orefice, Grace Jones, Kate Upton, Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevingne. There is also a photo of her as herself when she was 15 and had just started her modeling career.
According to a press release concerning the exhibit, all of the photographs are in black and white and pay tribute to Banks’ colleagues and friends. None of the photos have been manipulated or enhanced in any way. “In the age of pixilated veils, there is no digital manipulation to the imagery. 15 is Tyra Banks in raw, un-retouched images: the photography, styling, and transformative hair and make-up, along with Banks’ extraordinary ability to emulate each character, takes the notion of “black and white” beyond the portrayed models’ varying ethnicity and a description of the photographs.”
