Inspired in large part from my trip to Paris's Museum of Surgery, which sports a fantastic collection of Surgical Tools from days thankfully gone by. The tools were carefully digitally excised from their native surroundings, and propped into more formal action portraits
Re-contextualized, these tools took on a coquettish, teasing attitude, and the portraits became "pinups" for a calendar of an indeterminate year.
