I shot Varvara the first time almost ten years ago, and then she resurfaced some months ago, and we set up a new shot.
I love reconnecting with models I’ve known for years; it’s great to see how their lives have developed and played out.
Anyway, this set with Varvara is from just outside my Studio, where a bunch of these sculptures are made of papier-mâché.
I first tried shooting with available light but quickly set up a red-head halogen lamp to shoot straight from the camera to achieve a fashion look.
The first image is ƒ1.4 1/800 sec on a 50mm, the rest ƒ2.8 1/160-1/200 sec
