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...
ReplyDeleteOh 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?
ReplyDeleteI 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).
