The photo series Villain by Anna Dobos features a subject that steps away from the typical emotions exuded by bad guys. Instead, the Los Angelos-based 20-year-old photographer decided to let the moodiness of the setting come out in the models expressions. Clad in flashy and bold fashion, model Juliano Villan clashes intriguingly with his Gothic surroundings.
Villain by Anna Dobos marks the first time this young photographer has worked with both a stylist and a male model. She says, ““[It’s] probably always a good idea to go outside your comfort zone [...] because I think that’s what keeps us, as artists, growing. And that you should always try and approach your subject with creativity and adventure.” Yet, the shoot still maintains her signature whimsical, mysterious and subdued style.
