Manet's Olympia (Recontexualized)

My photographer friend Tiffany and I were assigned a project in class to recreate a famous painting in history and recreate it photographically but recontexualize it for today. We chose Manet's painting 'Olympia' which is an impressionist piece that currently hangs in Musee D'Orsay in Paris France.

 

It was a lot of work, planning and creativity but in the end, Tiff and I created something that we're both proud of. This set took a long time to set up and our models were fantastic. Probably the most fun photo shoot I've ever been a part of!
