Mario Sorrenti is next in line to release a t-shirt as part of the
DoBeDo photographer series. His contribution entitled "Love and Faith" showcases personal images extracted from his diaries. The eclectic collection is only available as an exclusive set and is limited to 100 subscriptions. If you are interested in owning the range you better be quick, at the time of writing this there were only nine subscriptions left. The first three t-shirts are available now and the second three are to be released in six-week intervals with the final design appearing in July.
The photographic artists involved in the project are:
001
Jack Day: London, UK
The youngest photographer in the series (born 1984) and representative of the photo blogging generation, he uses small-format cameras to document everyday findings in and around London town.
002
Dick Jewell: London, UK
Filmmaker and photographer famed for documenting
Kinky Gerlinky (the infamous London club night from the late 80s), his work features drag artists from that time, producing his first book in 1981 "found photos" which is a collection of other peoples passport pictures. His second book
Hysteric Glamour pulls together work drawn from club nights and inspiration for his first book, as well as fashion images taken from the streets of London.

Mario Sorrenti: New York, USA
Italian born Sorrenti found himself shooting Calvin Klein adverts at the tender age of 21 and has since been commissioned by a generous chunk of leading fashion houses to front advertising campaigns.

This hive of activity gets himself around, documenting notorious BIG in the 90s, dining with Marley’s in Jamaica, writing his own
blog, shooting fellow photographer Terry Richardson, creatively sparking out in all directions.
