Overview
In a duo with Rudy Gardet (set designer, scenographer) there were in total five editorial shoots organised by various themes and the goal being creative expression and adaptation. The flow of the work, the motion, and every other artistic choice (from make-up to styling) was a part of a spontaneous collective performance that resulted in a plethora of tonally-different photographs that combine fine arts and contemporary performative flair.
FR / En duo avec Rudy Gardet (set designer, scénographe), s’est monté une série de shoots organisés autour de plusieurs thèmes, dans un esprit d’expression creative de chacun.e. Les poses, ainsi que tout les choix artistiques (du maquillage au stylisme) sont le fruit d’une performance collective alliant spontanéité et écoute. Ces moments de création ont produit un ensemble d’images entre photographie de mode et photographie artistique.
About The Author
Maja Pozar is a Slovenian-born fine artist turned photographer; her specialties being portraiture and still life. The photographs intentionally lack storytelling and are presented purely as a calm and melancholic sight; usually in a complete absence of colour.
FR / Maja Pozar est une artiste plasticienne slovène devenue photographe. Elle s’est spécialisée dans les portraits et les natures mortes. Ses photographies ne se veulent ni narratives ni contextuelles, et se présentent plutôt comme de visions calmes et mélancoliques, idéalisées, parfois sculpturales, habituellement sans chromatismes.

Details
Photographs are either not edited or the post-production is done minimally. The photographer and the rest of the production team are unified in thinking that there should be no skin-retouch done due to the harm these actions inflict to spectators expecting not only aesthetics but also a reflection of reality.
