Dreaming on a December Afternoon

Single shot unretouched photo taken in 2019 at Bergdorf Goodman 5th Avenue, New York

At the heart of the festive holiday window’s universe sits the superbly-styled mannequin, a silent muse that breathes life into the experience. Each point of view, each camera angle, each lighting spot, every line and object of the outside scene reflected, each fold of fabric, every carefully chosen accessory, and the whimsical yet meticulous arrangement of elements in this 3D canvas contribute to the allure of my imagery. The mannequin, a symbol of timeless elegance and sartorial grace, is the protagonist in a visual tale where fashion transcends mere aesthetics, evolving into a language that communicates emotions and narratives.
The layers of my imagery come about as observed reflections cascade onto invisible barriers over the staged scenes. The street and sky reflections give rise to new compositions, crafting new realities that only my eye and the keen gaze of my camera are poised to capture. The resulting tapestry is a symphony of multi-layered effects, beckoning viewers into realms of curiosity and delight, bringing them along a shared voyage of imagination.
Each frame consolidates personal mysteries of fleeting co-existences—moments where the real mixes with the staged, seamlessly blending into splendid realms of imagination. The instance manifests into single shot images and pristine prints, untouched by the hand of retouching or manipulation, capturing the pure, unparalleled magic of the moment in a universe where a highly styled mannequin reigns as the silent sovereign of style and substance.
