Decorating Gods, Part 2 (Neptune)
What if you’re the God of Water and want to pose for an unconventional portrait? That’s the question!
This is another collaboration, this time with the Italian photographer GianOrso and I use pretty much the same approach as in the Atlas project. However, it’s the setting that goes against the cliché, not the looks of the model. Taken separately, he’s a Classic Neptune - over 30, bearded, somewhat hairy and with a beer belly (there’s the water!). I know, it’s so not Greek and not so Roman. But I find the Greek depictions of Neptune ridiculous - the combination of the head of a grown man and the body of a young athlete is pretty close to being offensive to human nature.
