Shots of Stephen Thompson, Model With Albinism

Stephen Thompson is a model who is breaking the color barrier, so to speak, by booking major advertising campaigns in spite of his unusual appearance.  Although this has neither been confirmed nor refuted, Thompson is being marketed as an albino model (or more properly, a model with Albinism).  Thompson first struck into mainstream news with a Givenchy ad campaign back in December, followed by photo shoot with Ammo magazine bot long after that (both of which were covered in the HuffPo).  Now, the March issue of Wallpaper features a few shots of Thompson and he's such a fascinating physical specimen that your eyes are instantly drawn to him.  I do not mean to dehumanize him by focusing solely on the most obvious aspects of his phenotype, but he is a model after all.  In any event, Stephen has a new fan and I will be following his career closely.  (via Lab Daily Blog)
