Photographer Henry Hargreaves takes us back in time with his new series Game Over! Not only does he remind us of nostalgic games and toys like Mr. Potato Head, Rubik’s Cube and Checkers, but Hargreaves puts these iconic pieces in a new light. Laden with uniform color, they are stripped of their functionality, drawing our attention instead to the beautiful and sculptural forms that remain.
Hargreaves is a New Zealand still life, art and fashion photographer based in Brooklyn. Known for his fun and creative work, he celebrates a wide array of commercial and personal projects.

July 31st, 2012 on the rooftop of New York City’s Go Studios, “Bosom Buddies: The Breast Auction Ever” promises to a night full of mammories and celebration of the female form.
New York-based photographer and self-proclaimed breast enthusiast, Henry Hargreaves, has joined up with trade publication Resource Magazine, to auction off his photos as seen in Resource’s Summer 2012 issue, “Breasts that Pop.” The photographs, best viewed using 3D glasses, are playful and provocative but most importantly, are a tribute to natural breasts in all shapes and sizes.
The images are printed by friends of Feature Shoot, Gotham Imaging. The proceeds from the silent auction will benefit the Young Survival Coalition, an organization aimed at providing support and resources for young women diagnosed with breast cancer.

Henry Hargreaves is a New Zealand still life, art and fashion photographer working out of his studio in Brooklyn.
His life long love of taking photos took an unexpected turn when he was spotted traveling through South East Asia and was whisked off to Europe to work as a high end fashion model. After 4 years on the other side of the camera and the catwalk he gave it up to pursue his own creative pursuits. Since then, he has created a wide spectrum of work be it for commercial clients like Ralph Lauren, Stefan Sagmeister, Boucheron, V, New York Magazine or in personal projects like 3DD, a 3D Celebration of Breasts, The Death Row Last Meal series, Food of the Rainbow or Toasted Icons.

Henry Hargreaves has always been fascinated by Damien Hirst’s work and that boarder of what is and isn’t considered ‘Art.’ Inspired by Hirst’s worldwide retrospective of his Dot paintings at every Gagosian gallery, Hargreaves decided to recreate some of these paintings made from M&M’s. At a distance they look just like his works but at closer inspection the iconic ‘M’ is visible on each dot. This series was styled by Sarah Guido.
