The Trophy Wife

reminds me of that Roxy Music song “In Every Dream Home A Heartache” about an inflatable love doll. “I blew you up, and you blew my mind…” very mod.

very clever paul, love your attention to detail in the layout & design of this gorgeous shot . . . love it

That is amazing on many levels – love it!

What can I say …
Model: beautiful
Setting: perfect
Lighting: spot on
Composition: astounding
Vision: wonderful
Imagination: fantastic
POV: inspired
Wow factor: 12 out of 10

And then I notice the untidy cable on the floor at the left (it was not easy to take my eye off the stunning deepbluwater).
That was bad enough, but then my eye is bent out of shape by the converging perspective of the brickwork on the right.

Just not good enough Mr V, what were you thinking?

If you are contemplating coming after me for that, we will be having an RB day out in my home town of South Queensferry, Scotland on Sunday 31st May. That will give you plenty of time to organise the flights – hehehe

a great 70’s setting… a gorgeous model… and well presented in a great image

I like the loungeroom.

Oh my word – what a beauty! Love that setting!! Marvellous styling and collaboration you two :)

Wow, what an amazing scene!!!!!!!!!! There’s so much to take in…..beauty in every corner!

AWESOME!! Love it you both did a WONDERFUL job!

Fantastic! Incredible idea and wonderful execution

Astounding !

no other word for it

Bravo to you and dBw

Love ‘N’ Laughter Kriss

Tis difficult to appreciate the social commentary when one is looking at amazing post modern interior design.

Nonetheless, I’m impressed….I particularly like her props; rather than the usual liberty-esque torch.

Excellent work Paul, love all the elements here, especially your beautiful model. Love the title also, great place to put your trophy.

It’s like the nightmare you sometimes have about going to work then realising you don’t have your pants on.

Inspired concept and realization.

Extraordinary! I actually thought that you had a mannequin arranged up there on the platform! Its a wonderful collab and you should both be very very happy with the results – top pic!

Smoking hot pic – and even before I saw your name I knew it was yours, Paul. That really is a killer post modern dream of a house. I’m so happy you were able to shoot your heart out up there. Deepblue is a perfect model for your work. Great collab.

What a visual treat, Paul. Love the concept, the furniture is to die for, and the model is beautiful. Exceptional work. Well done.

You know, I just yesterday finished reading The Stepford Wives …

love the humour in this …...........

simply brilliant… wonderful surrealism.

Very clever. Those shopping bags are the perfect accessory. Fab styling and treatment. :))

oh my god, that giant saucepan. LOL
so love her pose!!! ;-) xox

Superb composition and tones…. actually EVERYTHING is perfect. Keep up the good work.

your works scream in mini form!!! this is fab!!love the “set” as the dream home thing rocks.. fab as always!!!—chappel

just love that kind of rigid doll-like pose she’s got…it’s freakishly perfect…clever work Paul!

Wow…......Bizarro beautiful Paul!! What a set, what a model and what class, amazing art direction and what’s not to love!!! ;)

Gorgeous home and gorgeous mannequin!! Oh wait – she’s real??? Too bad – cuz she looks really good right where she is! I agree – very clever.

i HAD oNE. sHE gOT tHE hOUSE IN nEW yORK tHOUGH ” – )) Great IMAGE!

Fantastic Paul. Where’s Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice ?

Agree with JK York above, Paul (re the Roxy song) – but also the David Byrne ‘Once in a Lifetime’ i.e. ‘This is not my beautiful house, This is not my beautiful wife etc.’ Nice texture on the…um…couch.

The thanks all go to you Paul for your brilliance, your kindness, and your generosity. I LOVE what you have done with this image and so appreciate your creative vision in bringing this concept so fascinatingly to life. It looks stunning!
and what a perfect idea for our great location. Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you Paul. I am so grateful and very, very inspired!! Thank you again for your beautiful work in creating this fantastic image…

another classic for the PV files

Oh my god, I only remember Real-life-dolls from the museum,
(and from making one myself (once upon a time :)
but in a real setting, they really do make a difference..
magical shot

Great concept and even better result. the exposure is spot on and the scene is cool.

wonderful creation.. I would surely not buy any kind of furniture like that though…lol

I wish I could take pictures like you. Then I would meet all these sexy ladies too
And you’re tight. That is a dream house

I’m moving in !!! Great concept, title and execution, no one can match your style.

really cool ! great composition and lighting !

fantastic concept and perfectly executed! xx

had to smile as soon as I saw this…great concept Paul

your vision and execution come together brilliantly…nice one

WIW

Excellent work Paul – great title and composition too

Stylish in the extreme! you really made the most of the location and I really like the way you have avoided the obvious with your model and your additional highlights really control the eye of the viewer. This has me so INSPIRED!!!! Where’s my camera!!!!!!

killer image…........sexy as, model…....and God, that house, Woweeeee. Love your work bro…..........

Does she move and talk as well? loooool, one of those ones you say, now “why didnt i think of that…?” The room reminds me of “The Big Lebowski”

everything fits…the brilliant model ,the fantastic decor…loving the whole retro feel to this babe

clever and witty, and the whole image does make her look like she is hung in the room.. brilliant!

superb work!

I agree !
my best, francis.

OMG I am sooooooo envious. I would love to meet deepblu and this image of her is sublime. I love it, straight to my favourites. She could be my trophy wife any day heh. WEll done to both of you!

Absolutely brilliant in all respects!!!
Cheers Neil

Stunning….Draws you in and doesnt let go. Great Job!

I can imagine why you love this home so much, it’s definitely your style. Love this, awesome!

cool and provocative image

excellent and unique and wicked cool!..

LOVE the CONCEPT…THE TITLE…THE SET UP…AND THE IMAGE!!! WOW! :))))

Thanks for the grins.

don’t know how i missed this one! love the furniture – great shot!

Excellent Work!

For the last time Paul stay out of my house!
Great shot!

great setting (what did you do to get THAT place?) and stunning result. congrats

Ok where is this and how soon can I move in (Like a super Brady bunch house – yet elevated some home) Hmmmm love this.

...elevated some how.

Wow, great idea!

brill idea… XD…

Sensational image! Love it Paul

oh my goodness, this is totally amazing, love it to bits, the decor and the trophy wife are just superb!!!

Great concept as always Paul. A couple of out of character (for you) glitches,as mentioned previously, but otherwise a wonderful representation of post modern oligarchical madness. Great model/pose and location.

love it!!! great interior too.

Love this statement and your language.

at the end it are the lines

This has so many levels of meaning – the beautiful home, the money, the emptiness, the retail therapy … Brilliant!

what a brilliant shot ...steve
