Julian Wolkenstein and Paul Sharp create unique portraiture series 'The Postiche Collection'
Photographer Julian Wolkenstein has been working on a quirky portraiture series called Postiche with creative Paul Sharp.Wolkenstein's first foray into publishing presents Postiche in a limited addition magazine.
Wolkenstein is represented by Louis &Co where you can view the full body of work.
The following text is referenced from Wolkenstein's website.
'After many years of intense research and diligent attention to
detail Julian Wolkenstein and Paul Sharp introduce you to the
fascinating and stimulating world of postichery. Combining rare original postiche with meticulous replicas created by technical adviser Tamara Maynes , we are given, for the first time, a wholly unique insight into this previously undiscovered sector of Gender Studies.
The project, part of the Slow Photography Movement, is beautifully documented in a Museum of Helsinki Publication "The Postiche Collection" - a Limited Edition catalogue designed by Hampus Jageland.'

1. Something false; a sham.
2. A small hairpiece; a toupee.
Clever. Nice alternative to the standard snapper postcard approach.
Love the one of the old bald wood chopper guy, gold.
I love these!
The wood chopper is hot.
Congratulations Julian. These are great.
Hilarious guys!
Beautifully shot and put together.
Well done.
Disturbing and elegant at the same time. Delightful.
Nice one Sharpos - good to see the patchwork beards come to fruition at last.
Really funny stuff. Well done.
