New Old Now Mama, Why The Butterflies? 2025

Description

This dramatic studio editorial photograph for the New Old Now project Mama, Why The Butterflies? features three dancers interacting in a dimly lit setting. A woman leans against a shirtless male partner while reaching her hand out toward another shirtless male dancer standing nearby. The performers wear sheer strapped tops and dark trousers, creating an intimate and expressive tableau. Low-key lighting casts deep shadows and highlights their muscular forms against a dark background, establishing a theatrical and emotive mood.
