Very intrigued by this ad for Dolce & Gabbana’s fragrance. Instead of their usual provocative tableaus featuring plastic flesh, this shot is a tribute to Veronica Lake’s portraits from the 1940s. It’s a very powerful image – I’ve been searching on google for the photographer, but so far no luck.

Looks like the photographer might be Jean-Baptiste Mondino if that's any help.
Thanks Treasa, I'll add him to the list of photographers I'm "following".
