g Laura
My aim was to shoot a woman’s back in a disconcerting
abnormal way. I asked the model to lie on the table and
pulled her arm toward her back, palm upward; she looks
as if she has fallen from somewhere high, her body
distorted by the impact. The hair I added to the lower part
of her body contributes to the unsettling effect.


f Sasha
I arranged sasha in the middle of an empty space and
lit her from the left with a flash head with an umbrella.
The simple lighting was just good enough to sculpt her
figure. sasha was a very shy girl who covered herself
with her hands throughout the shoot, but I find the
photograph interesting.
