"Entourage" transports us into an arresting scene that evokes fashion, war, and organized crime. Here, five men, clothed in vintage suits, exude a cool, collected aura as they perch atop an old military green car. Their casual yet serious poses hint at an intriguing blend of class and hardened grit, much like a fashion advertisement with a twist.
The backdrop, a worn-out jungle peppered with helicopters and military vehicles, places this surreal scene within the grim realities of the Vietnam War. Yet the men, seemingly unfazed, radiate a sense of authority and control. Set apart in the chaos around them.
Referencing `Boys on Easter Morning by Russell Lee` and inspired by images of the great depression, this AI post photography work interlaces multiple narratives and timeframes. It creates a pastiche of visual tropes from war photography, fashion ads, and organized crime films. This fusion, alongside the documentary and vintage film-still aesthetic, lends to the concept of an alternate historical timeline. The interplay of these elements inviting you to think about power, authority, and resilience, amidst the backdrop of war.
