100 WOMEN WE LOVE 2008

Hats off to the 100 Women We Love, class of 2008 (in no particular order, 'cause we love 'em all!).

Erica Beckman

Erica Beckman captivates our attention as the founder and photographer of I Heart Brooklyn Girls, the shiny pin-up calendar featuring the borough’s most bodacious femmes. The calendar is a collective effort of Brooklyn stylists, make-up artists and designers. A portion of the proceeds supports a different charitable organization every year; this year’s recipient is the not-for-profit Coney Island USA, which was founded to keep historic Coney Island alive. Beckman’s personal aesthetic requires a little fantasy, a lot of flash and a preference for stark lighting. “I take environmental shots,” she says. “I like coming up on a location…[and knowing] that’s what I need to do.” By day, Beckman acts as photo editor for Fortune Small Business Magazine. In her off hours, you can catch her lighting up some back alley for a fashion shoot. –JB
