Bruise-Eyed Portraits

Daniel Bolliger's 'I Am a Good Socialist' Features Fashion from Sadak

Each of Daniel Bolliger's models in his latest photo series 'I Am a Good Socialist' looks like he belongs to a fight club. In fact, his models don't look like models at all, but simply very life-like paintings.

Daniel Bolliger not only photographed these images, but also retouched them to look fairly surreal. He worked in collaboration with fashion designer Sasa Kovacevic to create these looks for the Sadak catalog.
