It is hard not to think of Marilyn Monroe when browsing through the photo series titled The Captain's Place by Peter Coulson, a fashion photographer based in Melbourne, Australia. Model Nicole Gregurek is not only made to look like her doppelganger complete with curly blonde locks and a sultry cat eye courtesy of Vicious Creative, but she mimics some of the actress' more notable portraits.
Captured in the Rutherglen home of New Zealand-born gent Peter Janson, The Captain's Place by Peter Coulson embraces the history and atmosphere it is surrounded in. As observed by Fashionising, "The resulting photo shoot feels like a step back in time, glamorous and alluring, celebrating the authentic femininity and redefining the concept of fine art."
