The Vedas by Cope and Arnold series explores the concept of knowledge making for gracefully surreal imagery.
This project is the brainchild of photography duo Dustin Edward Arnold and Nicholas Alan Cope whose collaboration has made for this striking take on fashion photography. Figures depicted in Vedas are haunting high-priest silhouettes shown in chromatic settings. The most striking facet of each piece is the lighting elements that sculpt each silhouette with poised precision.
Titled 'Vedas,' the Sanskrit word for knowledge, this series emotes in viewers an ephemeral sense of spirituality. Each frame captures both the indistinguishable veiled models along with a use of space that is captivating. The Vedas by Cope and Arnold series is cutting-edge in its ability to combine avant-garde structure with symbolic imagery.
