Whimsical Workshop Spreads

Fabio Meschini is a photographer who knows that fantastical spreads do not need fictional elements. Meschini shoots an otherwise humdrum series of events in a style that creates a whimsical feel.

The series, entitled 'Bohemien,' is an up close and personal look at the models used. Fabio Meschini ensures that each person's individuality shines through in the shoot, making for a maniacally mystifying series of photographs.

Implications - Fantasy and fiction offer consumers a place to escape to when they are bored by the doldrums of everyday life. The average Joe doesn't have pink hair or wear polka dot suspenders, but this is why there is such a mainstream fascination with the eccentric (think Lady Gaga).

Whether it's a surreal landscape or a truly bizarre individual, pop culture can't get enough freaky finds to fascinate (and distract) themselves with.
