Dreaming Of The Dark Side: A Sexy Star Wars Photo Editorial For Star Wars Day!

As odd as it may seem to some, there are people who find Star Wars very arousing. Sure the lightsabers are phallic and there's a lot of heavy breathing, but canoodling with a Stormtrooper? “Dreaming of the Dark Side” is a photographic editorial of a young girl - dressed as a Twi'lek- lustfully dreaming about Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper, too.

Note: Today is the official Star Wars Day, so tweet this with #starwarsday!



Recently shot by Marie-Louise Cadosch of Marc & Louis photography (as a tribute to the photographer's Star Wars-loving sister Kathrin), the editorial stars the beautiful Maura Waller from OPTION Models dreamily cavorting with members of the Dark Side.














Swiss Garrison provided the photographers with Darth Vader and the stormtroopers and the makeup was done by Lilith Amrad.

About Marc & Louis:

Marc & Louis Photography is a team of photographers who do far more than just conveying the ineffable. They are creators and ambassadors of art which fuels the imagination. Their images are coined by a wide range of influences that still manage to accumulate to form one harmonic overall picture. They tell stories one cannot grasp at just one quick glance. Their images are mystical, dreamful and emotional, almost as if they are drawn by eras, separated by a hundred years, yet they still harbor authenticity and harmony.

Marc & Louis follow a distinctive style that can be found in each and every picture. A style that never bores the eyes of the beholder. Their attention to detail and authentic scenery grants every image an individual ambiance, transforming it into one beautiful piece of art and the story behind it into an epos.

Marc & Louis find the inspiration behind their visual tales in movies and music. They prefer using reality as a setting since natural environments combined with extreme or atypical props allow for a much broader range of possibilities. Marc & Louis images are meticulously prepared works of art which capture moments, emotions, even dreams and coalesce them into one memorable story.

This beauty editorial is not new, it's actually from Paris Vogue, November 2008, but it's so interesting, I wanted to share it with you.

With make-up and lighting only, she is captured as a 10 year old, a 20 year old, a 30 year old a 40 year old, a 50 year old and a 60 year old through the fabulous styling by Carine Roitfeld (who was the Editor-in-Chief of French Vogue for a decade) and make up by Lisa Butler.

20 More Interpretations Of The Last Supper. New For Easter 2011.

above: beautiful photographic depiction of just the hands from The Last Supper

Since Jesus came back from the dead (according to some), so shall my post on interpretations of one of the world's most famous paintings, The Last Supper:


In 2008, I wrote a post called "The Last Supper. And the one after that. And after that. And then, even more." in which I introduced you to the most well known Last Supper painting by Leonardo da Vinci as well as many other versions created by famous artists and photographers, like Andy Warhol and David LaChapelle.

Then, in 2010 I shared with you "The LOST Supper & Other TV Casts As The Famous Painting" which featured images from MASH to The Simpsons posed as the famous painting.

Below is a whole new slew to add to the growing collection of Last Supper homages by various photographers and artists.
