I love fashion photographers that have the balls to go a little deeper than to just deliver the clothes themselves. To guide us into a world via visuals that promise us more than just the cotton onto your back, they make us lush over the lighting, the setting, the mood and the girl herself.
These girls, Lui Wen and Kristina Krivomazova, look as though they have just stepped out of the nearest portrait paintings running down the hallway to re live their existance within their home. As if they have been staring at the window sill for three hundred years from the wooden frames and finally, they get to sit in that pool of sunlight that the window delivers.
My favorite image is the one of Lui Wen with a head piece on of tule, dried flowers and feathers, it almost looks painted! Oh, and I really like the one in the white draped dress looks as though it keeps wrapping around her head, it is almost ghostly but in an angelic way.
These are the kinds of images you can keep forever. That folder in your mac book can hold onto these for years to come for constant inspiration. They go beyond a fashionable reference and go down the path of an escape for your visual aesthetics.
Enjoy these beautiful images photographed by Aneta Bartos for Zoo’s Spring 2010 Issue.
