Defective Stepford Wives
A photo series about malfunctioning Stepford Wives. When you order a Stepford Wife you expect certain standards will be met. Quality you can count on. Unfortunately, sometimes you get a lemon and they don’t have a customer support number to speak with a real human. All sales final. No refunds.
I’m fascinated by facades. Fakeness. Plastic. Everyone wears a different mask that changes depending upon who they’re with. Growing up in Michigan suburbia I’m quite familiar with this. I love satirizing conventions and conformity.
The two models, Austyn Vovos and Gleveen Octavia were great to work with. We kicked around a lot of ideas regarding wardrobe and location and settled on hitting the vintage shops on Magnolia Blvd in Burbank and found some 1950s/60s pieces.
