Joao Rossi's Cold Love Series is Dark and Dramatic

Romance isn't always sizzling hot as the Cold Love photo series shows. Instead, romance and love are as fickle creatures as the humans that express and feel them. Full of emotion, lust, seduction and yearning, the Cold Love photo series focuses on either a burgeoning romance in which the woman is unsure or a souring relationship in which she is trying to escape his grasp.

Shot by Brazil-based fashion photographer Joao Rossi, the Cold Love photo series is nevertheless touching. Set in what appears to be a rich man's garden, the contrast between the thriving plants and the almost sterile love between these two individuals is truly captivating. There is also a dramatic element in each shot of the Cold Love photo series that captures the dark emotions of each model.
