VICE is staging a special photography project with four 'cultural icons'. Four women - Daisy Lowe, Alice Dellal, Miquita Oliver and Lovefoxxx - are using the latest Olympus E-P1 camera to document their lives over the course of six weeks along specific themes:

Daisy Lowe - ‘eyeStyle’.
The supermodel will be giving viewers a rare glimpse into her glossy lifestyle.

Alice Dellal - ‘eyeDoWhatILike’
Britain’s edgiest supermodel and style icon will be inviting viewers into her world.

Miquita Oliver - ‘eyeLondon’
London born TV presenter will show us around her hometown.

Lovefoxxx is ‘eyeTravel’
The CSS musician invites us to travel with her around the world.


The images are uploaded daily here. However, viewers can also upload their own images, with an overall winner receiving the new E-P1 camera. Find out more at www.viceland.com/storiesoftheeye.

Such a terrible idea. 'Cultural Icons'? Four celebrities, who, bar LoveFoxx, are famous for little more than wearing clothes.

And poor photographers to boot. Alas poor Olympus who went down the 'throw some money at Vice magazine' route to glean some respect from the edgy youth.

And from the comments that were posted on the Vice site before they shut them down it looks like I won't be the only one avoiding their products for another 10 years.
