No Instagram here, kids, this is photographic paleo-art from The Eighties. The photographer, Jane Burton, combined models, cutouts, glass panels, painted backgrounds and different camera tricks to achieve these results.

If you want to know more, take a look at Tricia’s Obligatory Art Blog, and you’ll see that she deserves all the credit for this post. Thank you, Tricia. Also there’s this book.
