Adam Caldwell just forwarded us some stunning photos that were used to render images for the oil paintings in his current show, Empty Room.  The photo shoot was a collaboration between Caldwell and photographer Shaun Roberts, with Caldwell directing the models in emotional gestures that juxtapose beautifully against the structural complexity of the works. The photos lend themselves as evidence of Caldwell’s incredible mastery of photorealism, but are also in themselves powerful works of art.  If you have yet to stop by Shooting Gallery for Empty Room, make sure to check it out before it closes on December 8.

More from the photo shoot after the jump!
