The Chateau Dreams photo spread was photographed by none-other-than actor James Franco. In his attempt to become the ultimate jack-of-all-trades, he puts on his artistic cap to capture the beautiful models Agyness Deyn, Natalia Bonifacci and Imogen Poots as they roam around the streets of Los Angeles.
Channeling her inner James Dean, Agyness Deyn is definitely a rebel without a cause. Considering that Franco idolizes this iconic actor, I'm not surprised to find that he has taken this theme for the Chateau Dreams photo spread.
Shot for ELLE magazine, the Chateau Dreams editorial is gritty and winsome. Shot in color as well as black and white, I like how each shot has its own characteristic, be it out-of-focus or even over-exposed.
Chateau Dreams is also part of Franco's contemporary art project which debuts this Summer at the Venice Biennale.
