Luke Smalley Figurative Photography
Luke Smalley was an American artist known for his photographic work, which pairs a coolly minimalist aesthetic with a retro nostalgia. Images from his early career were inspired by fitness manuals and yearbooks c. 1910. This is not surprising, since Smalley graduated with a degree in sports medicine from Pepperdine University and worked for several years as a model and personal trainer. He shot the bulk of his photographs in his home state of Pennsylvania. Smalley used real high school athletes as models, who engaged in unusual, imaginary competitions he conceived, designing and crafting many of the outfits and equipment himself.
