Famous musicians, because they can be an odd and pampered bunch, have been known to make some strange requests in their concert riders. Artist Henry Hargreaves decided to relish in the ridiculousness, by creating a photo series inspired by a few of these diva-ish demands, shot in a Flemish Baroque still-life style.
