Photographs of car mechanics posing as classic Renaissance paintings

"The Renaissance Series experience was the start of a new chapter in my personal work because it was mainly for myself," he explains. "It was something I always wanted to do. The concept had been done before, but I wanted to find a way of showing it from a different perspective that I hadn't really seen done before."

Writing on the Huffington Post, he said: "I wanted to respect the look and feel of the originals, but needed to come up with a conceptual twist that would create a new layer to the original. By chance I came across an old Midwest car shop that triggered this series, the place screamed for something to be shot there, and slowly but steadily ideas started to fall into place."
