As part of his new book ‘Talking Heads: The Vent Haven Portraits’, celebrity photographer Matthew Rolston captured portraits of retired ventriloquist dummies.
The book unveils the unsettling and not-so-human expressions of these unique entertainment tools.
With cracking paint jobs, hollowed eyes and plastered-on smiles, these dummies look like ‘sad actors’ that are past their prime—but somehow long for one last act.
The book ‘Talking Heads: The Vent Haven Portraits’ can be purchased from Amazon at US$47.25.
