Matthew Callahan brings a series of toys from the Star Wars universe humanized in such a way that they almost look like real people dressed up in their outfits combat in a story out of reality that could be the protagonist of any of the next films created by George Lucas.
Galactic Warfighters is the project and focuses on humanize imperial soldiers that they would find themselves between science fiction and the real world through the lens of a United States Marine we know from Matthew Callahan.
A series of photographs wisely mounted to show certain warlike moments which shows the urban combat in which young American soldiers have been introduced.
Some photographs that use nothing more than dolls to interpret very well each of the scenes that Callahan has portrayed and that he knows closely in his day to day as a soldier. It was the same one went from infantry to combat chamber.
All photographs in this series are real photo recreationsSo there is a rather crude touch involved when we know that they are based on Callahan's own experiences and not his imaginations. They are lived as is, although it also has a message in how some toys themselves can be seen as the same from a more distant and abstract perspective without going into the personal.
Callahan too takes portraits from the days of the military that are destined for many parts of the planet. A great quality in his photography in which this series of Galacti Warfighters surely allows him to escape from that harsher and harsher reality.
You have your website from this link in which you can find the rest of their jobs with more everyday photos of American life itself.
On the military, WWI recruitment posters.
