milky

milky is a series of images from a world that almost exists. Golden hours that last too long, skies painted rather than photographed, figures that never quite explain what they are doing there — playing an alphorn into the sunset, dancing under a chandelier in the tide, having fondue alone on a glacier.

The series borrows the language of 1970s advertising photography: airbrushed clouds, glossy skin, saturated film grades, the seamless artificiality of studio and location composited into one. But where vintage campaigns sold products, milky sells nothing. It keeps the gloss and removes the purpose — leaving only stillness, deadpan elegance and a quiet sense that something is slightly off.

Every image is generated, none is real. Which, in a world built on retouched perfection, might be the most honest thing about it.
