Charlie Engman, Photographer, Sydney

Description

A striking conceptual photographic portrait by Charlie Engman features a person lying inside an open dark wood coffin lined with quilted white satin. The subject wears elaborate black and white cat makeup complete with whiskers, a pink nose, and a voluminous black fur headpiece surrounding their face. They are dressed in a tailored black suit jacket over a white collared shirt, with their hands folded over their chest grasping a single red rose with green leaves. The composition is captured from a high-angle perspective looking directly down into the casket, utilizing soft interior lighting to highlight the surreal and theatrical nature of the scene.
