Juha Arvid Helminen - Shadow People



These beautiful photos by Finnish photographer Juha Arvid Helminen remind me of so many photos I've seen in the past and still they're very original in their own way. Erwin Olaf comes to mind (his classic series BLACKS and later on SEPERATION), but also the more darker work by Steven Klein. And if I can be really silly it even reminds me of Can You Forgive Her, by Pet Shop Boys ;) But overall it's a very beautiful approach to the concept "Invisible People", portraits without faces.

very cool, would make a great music video concept for a cool Madonna song...

Unfortunately Madonna lost her sense for creativity about 7 years ago. And remember the Chris Cunningham fiasco?

So yeah, would be great if she got her groove back with a nice dark video!
