Alien Portraits

Cogliantry's 'Roswell' Series is Fine Art with a Touch of 'X-Files'

These Roswell portraits from US-based photographer Michael Cogliantry are just brilliant.

Not only are they amazing portraits in their own right, they also manage to capture the madness that surrounds the Roswell site and UFO believers in general. He does so not in a mean way, but by very subtly poking fun at their costumes and extraterrestrial beliefs with a real fondness. What else would you expect from a man who attends the Roswell UFO festival?
