This shabby photography series is unsettling, as it captures beautiful women and children in bizarre positions at bizarre places. Photographer Max Boschini is known for his uncanny work and he continues to emulate it in these recent photos.
Max uses abandoned buildings as a backdrop for his models and they are usually quite grotesque. Some of the shots include women standing or crouching up against marked-up and grimy walls in their minimal heels and tight black dresses. Other photos include the subjects interacting with old furniture and appliances. And the most odd-ball photo of them all is one that includes two young boys in alien masks covering a younger child’s mouth with their hands.
This Italian photographer loves dark humor and these photos definitely coincide with that notion.
