Paul, Von Gloeden series


One of a series of images evoking the style of Baron Von Gloeden in Sicily in the early 20th century. 

The chaise, which appears in several shoots from this period, was on loan from an antique dealer friend.  It was a wonderful 19th century piece, and lent itself to a variety of settings.  I kept it until the owner had to ask for it back.

Here I placed it on my back terrace, for daylight shots in natural light.  The model was of Sicilian extraction, which made him perfect for the series. 

Shot on film, printed in sepia.
