My shoot's main theme with Oleks(Aleksanda) was the Ukraine issue. As she is an Ukrainian model, and as someone who experienced the war for one week, she shared some her of traumas--like the sounds of sirens, like when they hear the sounds sirens how they had to go to the shelters and had to stay there. We both felt that we would better go on this topic, as a sort of a memorial for those who suffer the trauma, so we both wanted to go deep inside the rabbit hole, with the sounds of sirens.

Technically, that shoot was made under a very strong and harsh back light. It was very hard to capture the face with that hard light- before using the exposure compensation, I decided to increase my ISO, in order to get the details I wanted to get on her face and I guess that helped:)

More ''songs'' about Ukraine. More about how it effected the soul. This shoot was taken while we were sitting on a real depris, and we are talking about about how she was feeling. As it was taken with her natural emotions, I wanted to keep the image B&W and as it was taken; with no contrast editing added.
