Art-Inspired Editorials / Photographs that Look Like Paintings

[tiffany]

I thought this might be interesting :
Post pics of models in editorials or ads, etc. that resemble a painting in some way, or that remind you of paintings

For example, this pic of Julia Stegner in Numero reminds me of Waterhouse's painting, "The Lady of Shalott"

Editorial shot by Vincent Peters, from Numero Magazine, posted by Amelia (thankyou!!) in Julia's thread

This comparison doesn't work quite so well as the others, but the two always remind me of each other. The similar frankness of expression, the similar poses, the similar gestures, the way hair is pinned up, etc

i think i may have been waiting for this topic my whole life

 

[tiffany]

i think i may have been waiting for this topic my whole life

I know what you mean - I keep thinking about similarities between pics I see and paintings, and when I saw the pic of Gemma with the tears I decided to make the topic

 

[cluemein]

Not only that but surely the photographers surely have in mind some paintings and that's why the special motifs, so no surprise. I wonder who best resembles the Monalisa painting

I wonder who best resembles the Monalisa painting

i was wondering the same thing! i was thinking surely that painting must have been "replicated" (so to speak)
