Thomas Sing Photography

So, here’s finally the 2nd part of this big project.
See the first part, a description and all credits HERE!

Some may know by now that I am currently featured in the May Issue of Vogue Italia in the “New Talents” section with the picture above. Those who didn’t, well they know now!

Butterflies are having quite of a hype lately, though this project was born long before and it took a lot of time from the concept to its realization. And despite its title ‘In Bloom’, it surely is no happy spring tale.

The idea came across as I was studying the mise-en-scène of fashion design in the ’90s, where the spectacle often bared an element of horror, balancing opposite extremes in a way that takes us straight back to baroque imagery. Realizing that such memento mori would no longer shock anybody today, I wanted to revive this ambiguity of beauty/decadence, life/death as something natural, if not even obvious.

I hope you’ll enjoy this first bunch of picture, I’m going to post some more in the next days.

My thanks go to the amazing crew who made this possible:

Models: Julia G., Anna H. & Richard C. (all @ TUNE Models)
Butterfly-Styling: Lorand Lajos
Make-Up&Hair: Daniela Schatz @ LJ Models & Maren Endrass
Styling: Patrick Sonberger @ TUNE Artists

Supported by and shot at the THOMAS WITT FOUNDATION, Munich

And thanks again to all who supported me and my work and made this feature in Vogue Italia a dream come true!

The posts are not only about the pictures, Enkha asked me a lot about the concepts & the background behind these editorials. Here on my blog I usually just post the pictures without commenting them, so if you want to get a little insight about the stories behind them, here’s the opportunity… mind-fucking at times DOES work for me… that’s the truth, even if I try to hide… Enkha digged it up esp. with my LAID & WASTED editorial with which I wanted to point straight to this strange coincidence where fashion, commerce, eroticism and death are just one scintillating dizzying tautology. It’s just a vertigo I want to create with my pictures. Nothing more and nothing less. Get aroused or throw up. If you’re up to it, do both at the same time. That’s it. Full-stop.

Just click on the screenshots to visit the respective posts, and don’t miss to check Enkha’s full website with its very suitable subtitle: “where fashion & art collide”!
