BONE STRUCTURE

A study in Ostio-Couture
By Logan Salter

Recently I teamed up with phenomenal photographer, Ian Pool to make one of his recent creative ideas come to life! With the help of a skeleton, a lot of patience and two of my favorite dresses from Fashion Crimes, we ended up with the images you see before you.

Originally there was a model. She slipped into the dresses and posed for the camera.
Later, Ian picked several images that he thought worked well with the models body; these images would be used as a diagram to follow when recreating the pose with the skeleton.

Ian and I posed the bones just like in the image, using a coat hanger to prop up the arm, and tape to keep the hands in place.

Later on in post editing he would take the images and piece them together, removing the model completely, and inserting the skeleton into the shot.
How he did it so quickly, and efficiently is beyond me; the end result is an editorial concept that has me thinking that beauty really is only skin deep.
