October 15th, 2014
Tony Kelly is one who has it all figured out. Irish origins and citizen of the world, spends his life photographing beautiful women, like Kate Upton and Emily Ratajkowski.
Now his love for the female body becomes Tony's Toys, self-released and limited-edition book. Within the 1,000 copies available, all bound by hand, the photographer, free to vent his extravagance, chooses to explore the difference of power between men and women, tongue-in-cheek.
The Barbie's Ken becomes the protagonist of a series of images, in which Kelly emphasizes how men are reduced to helpless pawns in the presence of a pretty girl. The toy is climbing the body of the model, little, is lost in front of the beauty, swallowed up by the legs, breasts and booties. Sexy, ironic, allusive, with vibrant colors the pages of Tony's Toys are the perfect gift for legions of boys.
