Tush Magazine

Apr 2026

The latest editorial campaign for Tush Magazine, titled DAS WERK - DIE SCHÖNEN FREMDEN, presents a masterful exploration of avant-garde fashion through a series of evocative portraits that challenge traditional beauty standards. Photographer Armin Morbach captures a striking narrative of structural transformation, where the intersection of human form and industrial design takes center stage. By utilizing precise studio strobe techniques and a sharp, cinematic visual language, the project frames its subjects as both otherworldly entities and studies in meticulous craft. Model Linus Weber embodies this duality with a compelling, angular intensity, supported by dramatic grooming choices that include towering pompadour hairstyles and bleached aesthetics. The composition remains resolutely minimalist, allowing the intricate, high-gloss black body armor and sharp, high-key lighting to dictate the visual rhythm of the work. Each image acts as a sculptural dialogue, balancing the soft, luminous skin textures against the rigid, mechanical nature of the costume elements. With expert retouching by Jan Wischermann, the series maintains a uniform, polished finish that feels simultaneously futuristic and timeless. This project leans into the core tenets of high-fashion editorial storytelling, favoring crisp, clinical lines and an uncompromising, direct gaze that demands total viewer engagement. The result is a bold, cohesive display of creative vision that cements the magazine's reputation for pushing the boundaries of style through rigorous, conceptual portrait photography.
