There are certain negative behaviors deeply rooted in society that we have been dragging for centuries with no variations. This series, inspired by the Flemish painting's aesthetics, is a reflection on moral decay and a social criticism focused on the most powerful classes of society.

There's a wide documentation and analysis behind Moral Morphology in order to reinterpret and translate the Flemish aesthetics into photography and so be able to convey permanence in time.

We designed and worked very intensely on the characterization make up. Avoiding postproduction on actor's faces somehow gave me a more romantic and consistent approach to the traditional and pictorial aspect of the project.
