CONTEMPORARY STAGINGS

„Contemporary Stagings“ is a mixture of modern one-shot photography, costume staging, live performance and digital post-production. The interpretation presented is based onextensive research into the period, with the intention of reflecting our present in the past and the past in our present.


FACES OF VENICE

The Faces of Venice series was not planned at all and implemented with a team of 10 people in the year 2017 in Venice/Italy. Several one-shot stagings were created during 3 different weekends full of spontaneous acting, good times and a lot of craziness. We used the body language of our models, overall composition of the group, color psychology, made to measure costumes, lavish set designs, contemporary accessories and authentic locations.
