ChronoVisions Unveiled

in ,

Within the grand arc of ChronoVisions, The Last Supper Scene emerges as a meticulously staged tableau—an orchestration of performance, costume, and light that bridges eras. The cast brings layered authority and tension to the frame: Tony Amendola as The Duke; Devin McElvogue as the Central General; Michael Rose in dual roles as Second General and The Bishop; Tyler Huxtable as The Priest and Third General; Stella Mascio as The Princess; and Sasha Lewis as The Noblewoman.

The composition unfolds in three deliberate movements. At the center, the Duke is encircled by his General and Bishop—power and counsel in close orbit—while learned advisors, the Priest, his daughter, and noble figures gather to the left. To the right, military leaders press forward, urging decisive action. The result is a charged stillness: a moment poised between counsel and command.

Created in collaboration with makeup artist Casey Mackay, the scene draws visual lineage from the stark, psychological intensity of Dune (1984) and the probing intimacy of Caravaggio’s The Incredulity of Saint Thomas. Wardrobe and thematic design deepen the narrative, grounding the drama in texture, hierarchy, and ritual.

Captured with Profoto A2 lighting and a Hasselblad X1D II, and set against a Manfrotto Tobacco & Olive backdrop, the lighting is shaped to evoke sculptural depth—chiaroscuro that reveals character as much as form. Fashion styling, set design, and art direction were led by Rory Lewis, with casting support via Backstage—instrumental in assembling the exceptional faces that anchor this ambitious work.

Across this series, I photograph actors and models adorned in the elegance of the 1930s, set against historically resonant backdrops. Each portrait becomes a temporal bridge — an echo of what might have been seen through the Chronovisoritself. Drawing influence from Frank Herbert, Caravaggio, David Lynch, Gustave Doré, and Ribera, I merge surrealism, chiaroscuro, and historical drama to craft scenes that feel both ancient and immediate, suspended between dream and memory.
