The Dust

I came across these series of images whilst reading Snap online magazine. These images were photographed by Olivier Valsecchi, a french conceptual photographer. The images above are from a series called The Dust and are based on "Ovid’s definition of Chaos, who describes it as the confused mass (light and darkness, order and disorder, liquid and fog) that exploded to give birth to the elements that it contained."

Although I don't normally like imagery like this because I find it too posed and too deliberate, I think with the concept, these images are both visually stunning and have a defined meaning.
