"Dream sequence"

Dream sequence is a long-term award-winning photographic book project. It oscillates around the portraiture of unconventional fictional figures seen „at the crossroads between fashion, photography, performance and art“ (Sharon D. Lloyd) The main inspiration has evolved from surrealism and film, while considering the philosophical concept of the beautiful and sublime. All the protagonists were shot in-camera with minimal (that is, only essential) retouching involved. As part of this in camera process, body painting, prosthetics, wigs, unusual 3D make up techniques as well as real flowers were used in order to enhance and distort the bodies of the models. The book is addressed to anyone who is interested in the topic of character design (both in fashion and performativity), make-up / hair design, body hybridisation, aesthetics, and the philosophical approach to beauty and sublime within photography as a „documentation tool“, as well as a record of the extensive creative process.
