A few years ago, French photographer Leo Caillard came upon some clever inspiration. With a big assist from the Louvre in Paris, Caillard dressed up the museum’s classic statues with modern, hipster apparel! To achieve this effect, he first had his friends pose in the same way as the statues while decked out in designer sunglasses, checkered shirts and other fashionable clothing. Then he completed the project using Photoshop. Here is a sample of some of our favorites!
