For the No Mad MGM Las Vegas location, I was commissioned by Be-Poles, Paris based agency a series of photographs depicting group gatherings across a number of European public gardens. This series of photographs were taken in places like Chateau de Versailles in France, Parc des Buttes Chaumont in Paris and Althorp in England.
Drawing inspiration from 18th Century European gardens to present day Nevada, the art program is an intimate visual journey that can transport the viewer from a wandering garden path in Paris or in Austen–era Great Britain to a bedroom in present day Las Vegas. The spirit each work shares is a playful sense of discovery: the feeling that one is uncovering a hidden jewel in a public or private setting; whether that is found in a depiction of a city park full of surprises, or a portrait that offers an unexpected peek into Las Vegas’s allure.
