Not Apollo Reclining
578
I wanted to imitate a classical painting. The shot is loosely based on a painting of Apollo and Coronis by Adam Elsheimer, but my version would leave out the clothed Apollo. I recalled that Coronis is portrayed with modesty, her eyes turned away from the viewer or perhaps closed. It seemed an interesting challenge to portray a male figure in a similar way. Using infrared added a bit of unreality.
