We are all made of stars: Anthony LaVorgna Jr

19 Mar

We Are All Made Of Stars is built around colour, but it never feels decorative. The paint, created and applied by Anthony LaVorgna Jr, sits on the body in a way that feels deliberate, almost mapped, drawing attention to shape, movement, and expression rather than distracting from it.

Working across both photography and body paint, Anthony LaVorgna Jr keeps the focus tight, using light and shadow to pull the subject forward while letting everything else fall away. The dark backdrop gives the colour room to breathe, making each frame feel contained and intentional.

What carries the series is the presence within it. There’s a confidence that runs through the images, not overplayed, just steady and controlled. Each pose feels considered without becoming rigid, allowing the work to hold its own rhythm.

It’s a simple idea, but it’s handled carefully. Nothing feels excessive. The balance between colour, form, and space is what makes the series land.
