Photography: Dina Goldstein- In The Doll House

I first featured Dina Goldstein and her Fallen Princess- Not So Happily Ever After series. This Vancouver based photographer's In The Doll House project examines the not so idyllic life of Barbie and Ken.  Stuck in a loveless marriage Ken is clearly grappling with his sexuality as Barbie comes to terms with the crumbling relationship.

The photos were shot over a long weekend and the set was designed with the help of volunteers.  The models, made to look like dolls do a fantastic job of creating expressionless faces while showing so much emotion. The set is presently in storage and will be set up at the gallery opening of the show.

I just love Dina Goldstein work!

Did you play with Barbies as a kid? 
In the story lines you made up was Barbie's life idyllic? 

Tadao Cern: Strong Wind Photography

These photographs taken by Lithuanian born photographer Tadao Cern catch the facial expressions of his models while being subjected high force winds.  Somewhat appropriately titled 'Blow Job' I still didn't feel comfortable putting this as the title to this post.

First saw them here
and thanks Dani G

Would you ever agree to model for these?
I'm way too self conscious or perhaps vain, to do this!
