A Daily Thing

Most legendary

Posted in regular by Sabine on December 3, 2009

My favourites from a series of photos where actors recreated some of their iconic roles, posing in street clothes.  I love the seamless paper background, the simple lighting, and how the essence of the characters still comes through so strongly with so few props.

One teeny thing: as psycho and self-righteous as he was in Seven, I think Kevin Spacey might be even more legendary in American Beauty.  But rose petals don’t make for as good a photo as a box supposedly containing Gwyneth Paltrow’s head*.  Granted.

*I just realised I am totally blowing the ending here: but hasn’t everyone seen this by now, and knows what happens?  Come on, it’s been 14 years!
