This led to a brilliant series of portraits with auto mechanics reenacting famous Renaissance paintings. Show Full Text “Translating painting into photography was a challenge I looked forward to,” Fabris wrote on Huffpost. “I wanted to respect the look and feel of the originals, but needed to come up with a conceptual twist that would create a new layer to the original.” Fabris is a professional photographer, so the rest of his work is definitely worth checking out too!
