Amanda Charchian Captures Surreal, Nude Beauty In Las Pozas For 'Pheromone Hotbox'

/

Looking at the sculpture gardens created by the Scottish eccentric, art patron, I do see a strong connection between them and the Omo Valley people of southern Ethiopia.

Model Grace Hartzel preens in Las Pozas, lensed by Mikael Jansson in engaging and creative images for US Vogue's April 2016 issue. (Editorial here.)

Grace keeps her clothes on, unlike fashion designer Alejandra Quesada, lensed in Las Pozas by Los-Angeles based photographer Amanda Charchian. The exquisite images are part of her new monograph 'Pheromone Hotbox', published by Hat&Beard and Dilettante Paper.

Diane Kruger was lensed at the famous Beverly Hills home of Tony Duquette, now owned by colleague Hutton Wilkinson and his wife Ruth. Vanity Fair wrote previously about the Dawnridge Estate. Our initial impression of the Diage Kruger images was of Las Pozas in Mexico.

Anne wrote several years ago:

In my dreams, I see Las Pozas … a hotbed of symbolism and myth. If Carversville is a conscious mind, then Las Pozas is Carl Jung talking.

For sensualists, the antidote to Carversville, after working a week in Paris, then flying to Shanghai, is a week in Xilitla and the Surreal Gardens of Las Pozas … born when a flurry of blue butterflies captured the inner vision and imagination of the Scottish eccentric Edward James.
