THE ROAD TO SERFDOM

A collaboration from myself and long time creative partner, photographer Scott Rylander, (you can see what he's saying about it here) based on Hayek's 'road to serfdom' reworked in a modern setting.
 In terms of make up and styling it was both fun and challenging to transform the characters from a respectable middle age couple to a pair of hideous vagrants, as we were working in a studio setting and to a tight budget prop and costume changes had to be kept to an absolute minimum, and after much debate we decided to show the path to decay using bags and bottles (note the slide from champagne to white lightening!)  However make-up left much more scope for creativity with blood, bruises, black eyes etc...
