QCA Art: Justin Monroe

As a boy, Photographer Justin Monroe traveled the road with his artistic parents and became interested in scenes of daily life. His later interest in theater is apparent in his work as his photographs portray a sort of decadent hyper-reality where the lines between man and machine, act and actor, limelight and lust begin to blur.
His work is just as informed by cinema (science fiction and action movies) as it is by current events (check out the trailer-park hotties above, one in a flooded trailer while news footage of a recent disaster plays on the TV behind him). Though they’re definitely campy, you can tell the excruciating attention to detail in setting, costume, and model direction… every shot looks flawless.
Justin now works with establish stylists and art directors to create his uniquely provocative shots and is becoming a sought after name in the international fashion industry. This November, he’s releasing his first book, Down the Rabbit Hole. You can pre-order it from his website.
