ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Shadows of Opera - A fine art portrait project created by Christophe Anagnostopoulos, in Antiparos Island, Greece.

His goal was to create a series of portraits that look like statues while also retaining some form of realism as persons for the models, and to achieve this goal, he used a combination of studio lighting, posing, some elastic skin toned fabric and make-up to practically create the effect of statues.

The Project was exhibited in Photokina Cologne, Germany (September 2018), in Salon de Paris, France (October 2018), as also in other major exhibitions in other countries.
Christophe was inspired by the Greek statues as well as Rembrandt lighting technique for dramatic shadows.
