“Absent are the elaborate backdrops, the practiced and thoughtful lighting set ups, the assistants, and the time to create the perfect studio set. This portrait is simply beautiful - shot on the go backstage at Milan Fashion Week, utilizing available sets and lighting before the model walks for Aniye Records. The closeness due to space restrictions, coupled with the down-the-barrel look creates an intensely direct and symmetrical portrait which could be a religious mugshot or a throwback to the iconic Twiggy sessions by Barry Lategan. We loved this portrait for the detail, the symmetry, and the choice to present it in black and white, further honing the focus on the model and creating an intense exchange of gazes from model to voyeur.”
