On Set: A Photoshoot with Barbara Cole

Watching Barbara Cole on set is like being at the theatre. We spent the morning with the artist, and got to see how she captures moments from her incredible productions and translates them into sublime images. 

Cole's studio assistants set up the temporary studio next to the pool where the photography shoot will take place.

One of Barbara Cole's vision boards, where she collages together sources of inspiration. 

 Prior to the shoot, each model has a custom wig sewn to her hair.

Costumes ready for the next model.

Barbara Cole's latest series will be previewed exclusively  at Art Toronto from October 27th - 30th.

Please contact us at photo@bau-xi.com if you would like to be notified for previewing.

The exhibition, "Figure Painting" will open November 4th at Bau-Xi Photo.
