From the Shadows

A KALTBLUT exclusive. Photography & creative direction by Tony Minas. The set design consultant is Britni Wood. The models are Kekoa Parker, Jaye Carpenter, Nick Smith, Phillip Tran and Enzo Inghilterra. The photo Assistant is Elizabeth Anne Hanley.

A series of character studies that bring the visual language of the Italian baroque master Caravaggio into the 21st century. Although the lighting and set decoration aim at accurately recreating Caravaggio’s style, subtle cues in wardrobe and the diversity of subjects inform the viewer that these are, in fact, contemporary images—part of a forthcoming series of multi-figure tableaus.
