It was important for us to show the "anger of a good girl", inner strength, confidence, passion and freedom. This shoot is about when you have gone crazy in a good way and finally feel the freedom to be yourself, to be bad and crazy, not like what is convenient for others.
The basis of this shoot was supposed to be the theme of the 90s style, as a symbol of Eva's fortitude. However, I saw that inside this strong girl there is a little girl who loves pink, toys and glitter. We decided to combine all this, and we got this unusual style.
She is the main person in the criminal ghetto: confident, strong, sexy and merciless. One word from her and you will be expelled from the ghetto, if not killed. The story doesn't have any connection with the war, as for a prop we used a toy gun.
This work is about struggle and great willpower. The model in real life suffers from a serious illness, so immersion in a cold ice bath was a kind of relief from pain. Also we wanted to play on the contrast of dark skin, pink water, white bathroom and ice.
When we first met Inna, she mentioned her chronic lateness and trouble with time. This inspired the idea of creating a top from antique watches. It took four months of meticulous work to complete, including selecting the location, makeup, and clothes. The result was outstanding.
My model suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, or compulsive overeating. There is no cure for this.Only temporary relief with a psychiatrist and pills. Excess weight is not always associated with laziness and love for sweets. Sometimes it is about pain, about illness, about war.
With this shoot, we wanted to show two sides of the artist's life. The bright clown style disappears in the process and we see a sincere simple girl, an inner child that is in each of us. The concept completely excluded skin retouching.
Once I saw on Pinterest shot with a guy in a stylish suit in the pool. I wanted to repeat it and reflect the theme of inner freedom, rejection of stereotypes and protest against formal wear.
The idea for the shoot belongs to my friend and makeup artist Inessa Ananyan, with whom I work as a team. She invited a model (who, by the way, is only 16 years old!), did her style and makeup completely, and we held this incredible shoot right at her home.
This is a story about a hunter and a deer who unexpectedly met in the forest. The hunter was going to kill the deer, but was so struck by its beauty that the weapon fell from his hands. He decided to gain the trust of the unearthly creature so that it would allow him to at least pet him.
This idea was inspired by the Black Tape Project and African motives. We had to travel 4 hours by car to the south of the country to find that small Portuguese desert. The heat, the sand, lots of silver tape and elaborate makeup - it was all worth it.
A photo story that we created together with my creative partner in crime Achya. The protagonist is a famous person in the field of art. He organized a party to celebrate the premiere of a new movie, but one of his enemies showed up at the party and did a "party murder".
This story is a vision of what the human inner world can look like. Showing the reality that within us, we are all complex, hosting a full spectrum of emotions and thoughts - some positive, some negative. All emerging in turn in an almost cyclical nature, no human perfect but yet that’s where the perfection lies; in the imperfection.
This shoot explores the birth and revelation of our inner uniqueness, akin to bright butterflies with individual colors. Inside us are treasures veiled by a "cocoon" of clothing, personal safety, or societal roles. This idea reminds us of our uniqueness, urging that despite constraints, we should find ways to express our inner selves.
This shoot symbolizes suppression, liberation, fear of speaking, and desire for self-expression. It was art therapy for the model, helping her move towards a new self. She shed red ribbons of restraint and criticism, wiped off red lipstick symbolizing silence, and embraced white bandages as healing and liberation.
The project is called “bersatu” (united) and it illustrates the past, present and future of Achya - he has indonesian roots. The past can influence the present, and the present can also influence the future, but your roots will always be constant. It is a story about self acceptance and being proud of who you are and where you/your parents come from.
With this concept, we envisioned the world through the eyes of a colorblind person. About 3% of the global population has some form of color blindness. Seeing solely in grayscale is rare but exists. Viewing these photos, try to grasp the challenge of not distinguishing colors in the world around you.
This is a story about the loss of a loved one, pain, longing and grief. At the same time, it’s about liberation from pain, rebirth and a step into a brighter future. Black is always followed by white. You just need to find the strength to rise. Remember the past, be in the present and look to the future.
My mother visited me in Greece and wanted to do a photoshoot at sea. The images of a mermaid and Aquarius immediately appeared in my head, which I decided to combine. We bought a piece of fabric similar to a net, an antique jug and went into complete improvisation.
