Finlay MacKay: 2008 Lavazza Calendar

If your a fan of quality coffee and photography, you’d be interested to know about the 2008 Lavazza calendar, photographed by renowned Scottish photographer Finlay MacKay. His series of six images depict ‘The Most Majestic Espresso Experience’ and follow in the illustrious footsteps of previous calender photographers such as David Lachapelle, Thierry Le Goues and Ellen von Unwerth. Finlay’s contribution to the 16th edition of the calendar, nevertheless, is the most lavish and glamorous I’ve seen to date. His art nouveau inspired imagery give us plenty of insights into the dreamlike worlds of the French and Chinese imperial courts, chivalry of the Middle Ages and bejeweled queens enjoying a most majestic “Lavazza espresso” experience. In many ways, It is work that reminds me of lynn Goldsmith’s in the looking glass series - particularly, the imperial subjects and the surrealistic quality conveyed through hints of identity, irony, sensuality and elegance.
For more info visit Lavazza. Enjoy the rest of this beautiful series after the jump.

Thanks Hi5, unique indeed, down to the finest details. The females in the series are the queens and the “Lavazza espresso” is the ‘object of desire’ - complete mastery!

Outstanding photographs. I am a make-up artist and would have loved to have worked on something as beautiful as this work.
