Stillness In Motion
Something I always look for in an image is a sense of ‘stillness in motion’. The best models know how to evoke emotion, and a sense of movement, without doing much. An effortlessness, a gesture.

One of my favorite images of all time is Da Vinci’s ‘Lady With an Ermine’. The exaggerated size of her hand. The way she’s illuminated, with a sense of mystery and other-worldliness. The incredible fashion she’s wearing. Mixed with a touch of sci-fi and Blade Runner, this image below is my homage to the great master.
