About the Item

This quirky photograph is sure to be a talking point! It's tongue-in-cheek humor is as effervescent as its sparkly pink backdrop. Working with collections of vintage Barbies as his subjects, photographer Larry Torno describes his work as an exploration of ideas and observations, transforming the moment before him into something not seen before. Animating these plastic dolls into subjects who are alive, and emotional, speaks to the dreams of everyone who has ever owned a Barbie. As a statement piece for a colorful living room, or a glamorous addition to an already glamorous life, this photograph is sure to bring a childlike glee to your home. About Larry Torno: Since 1977, Larry Torno has worked in the graphic design business as a designer, art director, and creative director for companies large and small, from Fortune 500 to Not-for-Profit. In 2004, a trip to Carmel, California changed everything. He was surrounded by the work of Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, Edward Weston, and a friend's extensive collection of his personal work of the Great American West. It all awakened in him a personal dream – to elevate his love of photography to the level of creative expression that Torno finds in his design. He bought a camera and started shooting. Today, Torno’s photographic work is an exploration of ideas and observations. He works for the moment when what is in front of him transforms into something not seen before.
