This is a great image from the highly accomplished and experimental Moscow based photographer Igor Vasiliadis. It immediately weaves some stark and intriguing story possibilities into your mind; sex games and the roles of sub, dom and voyeur. Of course, it could equally plunge a little further into the realm of dark art if you consider that the centre-posed figure is not taking part in this with any sort of free-will. What is the distant male figure expecting to observe? His relaxed posture speaks of a boredom with the mundane pleasures of life – a killer or thug who’s sensitivity has been dulled and blunted by repeated exposure to the visceral highs of violence and danger. Or is he just a bored businessman looking to satisfy shadowy sexual desires that some men can’t exorcise with their pretty wives? There’s certainly a sense of mystery within the glossy and brightly lit image; shadows that are more off-camera than in-shot. I’d strongly recommend you check out Igor Vasiliadis’ website, there’s some fantastic images brought into enigmatic life with silver and cyanide.
