I like this a lot -- a clever photographer who poses modern models in Classical, er, poses:
Here, assorted Cherub-like figures cavort in the Classical manner above our heads.
Perhaps they are angels, high in the church roof.
Or playful Caravaggio-esque figures...
Sometimes not so playful, actually:
Now for some other Classical allusions.
Ephebes, in assorted miserable poses. Or dead.
Not altogether sure what this next one represents -- I may have to look it up.
While this is, obviously, a pietà:
While this next chap is, I imagine, just dead:
This is all getting a bit morbid, so let's end with an Alan Strang. Yes, it's the role made famous by Harry Potter's penis, in the great play Equus:
If you don't know it, Equus is a delightful play suitable for both exhibitionists and voyeurs. This chap does the part proud.

I think I've been nesting too long. That upside-down lampshade in the first few classical snaps ruined the snaps for me...
Oh my gosh, that first set... I love love that elfin boy with the little winkie. Any hope of tracking down more of that boy, or from that sequence?
I might have one or two more. I'll have a looksie (and I suspect that one of the cherubs is, in fact, the photographer, but will try to confirm).
Send me an email if you want the source.
