Vincent Dixon Photography and Illustration 2007

Men with mammoth hands for Wonderbra; personified song names for Virgin Digital; Albert Einstein, Bob Marley and entwined Kama Sutra lovers lusting after bottles of Perrier. Although 45-year-old Vincent Dixon's images skew toward the fantastic, what the Ireland-born, New York-based photographer ultimately strives for is reality. "I don't want people to think, How did he do that?" he says about his pictures. "The most important thing is the idea behind the photo. The photo can communicate beyond simply great production or retouching. If you try to impose the photography on the idea, you're putting it the wrong way around."
