Michael Bailey-gates, Photographer, New York

Description

This vertical studio portrait features five diverse models posing against a brown paper backdrop and studio set elements, including a sculptural white tree structure. The subjects wear highly elaborate, theatrical avant-garde outfits and massive, statement-making hats that balance precariously on their heads. On the left, a model wears a structured white pleated dress with metallic accessories. Beside her, a figure sports a patterned red skirt and dark top, holding dried foliage. In the background stands a dark gown with embroidered floral motifs, followed by a model in a voluminous black dress with sheer sleeves. On the far right, a shirtless male model wearing dark shorts, long gloves, and a large patterned hat poses on top of a vintage suitcase. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the intricate textures of the garments and the creative set design captured in New York.
