Black and white collage of a model floating upside down against a pastel blue and pink nebulous background by David Sims.

David Sims, Photographer & Director, New York

About

This striking artistic work by photographer David Sims features a monochrome cutout of a model captured upside down in mid-air against a dreamlike background. The background blends soft pastel hues of blue and pink with ethereal, nebulous textures and scattered light points resembling a starry night sky. The model wears a patterned skirt and strapped high heels, with dark hair cascading downward due to the inverted perspective. The collage technique combines vintage photographic elements with cosmic graphic textures to create a surreal, weightless atmosphere.
