This portrait series exudes a striking tension between urban and futuristic. The strict geometry of lighting, the contrasting colors, and the expressive posing create a dreamlike sense of determination, as if everything is unfolding in a parallel space between a fashion runway and a music video. While the colors are bold, the expression remains subtle — blurring the line between model and art installation. The black-and-white version adds introspection, while the red-blue lighting in color shots radiates both emotion and attitude. This isn’t just a fashion shoot — it’s a statement.
Working with Tagir Talibov brought a unique synergy of photographic precision and abstract sensibility. The atmosphere on set was quiet and focused, as if each shot had been envisioned and constructed through light and movement. Thanks to his sense of composition and color, the results were achieved in just a few frames — effortlessly. Minimal post-processing was needed to arrive at a powerful final image.
