Purity.
May, 2023
“Purity” was created on the same shoot as the “Forgotten Ghost” series. However, this time, using only natural lighting. Only one variable was changed between shoots (lighting), however, the two series present entirely different scenes and moods. In this version, the lighting is very warm and golden, which makes the scene feel warm, calming and even uplifting. The model seems ethereal in this lighting as the golden sunshine bounces off her hair and skin. Compared to the “Forgotten Ghost” series, where the model appears almost alien in her surroundings, out of place and vulnerable. The images seem eerie, thrilling, or creepy. The comparison between these two shoots highlights to me the power of lighting and cinematography.
