Superman - at Rest

PHOTOGRAPHER: GREG LOTUS

This photograph by Greg Lotus is a vivid and ironic tableau that exemplifies his signature approach: highly choreographed visual storytelling infused with style, tension, and a touch of theatricality. In the scene, a model dressed as Superman lounges nonchalantly across the top of a vintage yellow convertible, his iconic red cape draped casually over the door. Behind him looms a massive mural of a giant hand—an imposing backdrop that adds surreal drama and a sense of exaggerated scale.

Lotus’s masterful command of composition and color is unmistakable here. The image is bold, stylized, and cinematic—playing with power dynamics, cultural iconography, and humor. While the Superman costume evokes strength and heroism, the figure's relaxed posture suggests disillusionment or performance, questioning the myth of masculinity and the image of the modern-day savior.

Set in an urban environment and styled with editorial polish, the photograph bridges the worlds of fashion, art, and pop culture. As with many of Lotus’s works, there’s a visual sharpness and deliberate staging that elevates the scene from narrative to fine art.
