The "Wild Suits" collection by artist Philippe Hugonnard is a fascinating series of photographic portraits that boldly combine the wild world with human sophistication. Each image features a wild animal meticulously dressed in elegant costume.
The black background used in these photographs highlights the contrast between the texture of the animals' coats or feathers and the refined fabrics of the costumes. This choice of background also amplifies the intensity of the animals'eyes, giving them an almost human presence. The details of the costumes are meticulously crafted, evoking power, nobility and sometimes a touch of humour, while playing on the codes of refinement and elegance.
With this collection, Philippe explores the themes of anthropomorphism and the relationship between man and nature, while offering a reflection on timeless elegance and identity. Wild Suits is a celebration of both the animal world and fashion, with a touch of fantasy that invites viewers to see wild animals in a new light.
The series consists of 60 images, presenting a wide variety of wild animals, many of which are rarely seen in photography, making this collection unique and captivating.
