The work of Canadian artist Aaron Dunn is really appealing to me, so expect to see a lot more of him soon. I will start off with his series of photographs called studies in narcissism.
Narcissism is encompassed by vanity, conceit, egotism, or simple selfishness; this collection is more than a little random. Models are photographed wearing Darth Vader masks, bunny heads and even gas masks in this collection, which all in all is pretty brilliant.
