ABOUT THE EDITORIAL:
My long time desire was to create a short editorial on something beautiful and real. This sounds pretty generic and vague, and I suppose it was exactly that when I thought about it. All I new that it had to be during the day with natural light, to keep it close to my idea.
One night at a party, I met this girl named Malene. She had a raw, dark and sexy look, and very beautiful. Standing with a drink in one hand, and her friend in the other, her looks caught my attention and I couldn’t take my eyes off. She might be the perfect girl for my idea, but no clue if she was interested.
I went talking to her and she confirmed my first impression. Strong woman, filled with power, but there was also a certain vulnerability and innocence about her. Something that she maybe likes to explore as well. We talked about the idea and doing the story about her, and she was very interested, so we planned a date. Contacted my good friend and makeup artist Barbara, who also did the styling for the editorial.
I wanted to capture the morning quietness. The light streaming trough the windows and warming up her body. I wanted everything to be soft. The light, her body, the mood and the surroundings. I wanted to show how playful, dreamy and completely in harmony she was. So on this beautiful Sunday morning, this story came to life.
Moving around in her apartment naked. Maybe she is waiting for someone, maybe he has just left. Alone, in a peaceful and sensual mindset.
