The Cult of Beauty

My most recent shoot takes inspiration from the aestheticism movement.  I've tried to make the photographs as painterly as possible, which is a style I'm becoming increasingly comfortable with, in order to reflect the ideas of the painters of the 1860s in search for new beauty.  While very often these painters would paint females I've chosen Gabriel Lindsay (represented by AMCK Models) whose soft features seem to fit well with the maxim 'Art for Arts Sake'.

The Boy With The Cuckoo-Clock Heart

I have the pleasure of working with Becci Mapes on quite a number of shoots.  Becci came to me with the idea of creating a character from one of her favourite short stories The Boy With The Cuckoo-Clock Heart.  This is the story by Mathias Malzieu.  The tale of a boy with a heart magically preserved by clockwork, who must never fall in love, or else his heart will break.

Becci made a prosthetic cuckoo-clock heart and Rory Finn took on the leading role.
