Curiouser and Curiouser

The curiosity style that had jumped to popularity in the last year or two makes for some perfect Halloween inspiration, don't you think?

Vintage medical prints, real and faux bones and skeltons, carved heads, stuffed crows and heavy antiques complete the interiors - a style I was very familiar with back when working at the amazing Empiric in Los Angeles. As for your own style, dark dramatic lipstick and some period inspired dresses, high contrast stripes or delicate folds will do.

I aboslutely love these, and the work on his webpage, the cool tones, the play with light. But, and there's a but, it made me instantly think of a danish photographer who's images have been very inspirational for a couple of years now. Rasmus Mogensen, have a look at his portfolio, am I the only one seeing the resemblance in he style of it all?
