The Flesh of David Fair by Eli Schmidt

 

Brooklyn-based photographer Eli Schmidt is a Homotography regular by now, having treated us to the beauty of Mikus Lasmanis, Petey Wright & AJ Abualrub. Here we share with you a breathtakingly beautiful photo shoot by Eli featuring model David Fair. The shoot is inspired by the iconic film, FLESH.

 

 

“We treated the lighting with clear sheets of acetate that had been marked up, burnt, and water-stained to create the feeling of old and weathered film,” explained photographer Eli Schmidt to Homotography. “The vibe on set was very loose, and we encouraged David to just be. FLESH has a loose documentary and distant tone, and we wanted that for the shoot too.”
