About the Item
Whether as a statement piece in an offbeat living space, or a quirky bedroom addition, this piece is sure to be a sultry, sensitive talking piece! Working with a collection of vintage Barbies to create timely, sensitive portraits that evoke the interior lives of the dolls, photographer Larry Torno made it his mission to approach these portraits with the same sensitivity as with a human subject.
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.
