At first I was drawn to Andreas Stavrinides’s portfolio’s name, ‘Days of Future Past.’ Very poetic and nostalgic, my eyes immediately took in the images that went with that title. Together they complement each other flawlessly.
‘Days of Future Past’ centers around a gritty yet glamorous photoshoot that seems set in the future. Yet the actions within each image seems like those found in the past. Although highly stylized, Andreas Stavrinides’s treatment creates a sci-fi feel while allowing the clothes to pop.
