Before the runway

In this project, I'm searching for a light that reminds me of
Giovanni Bellini and Mantegna paintings: "Presentation at the
temple". I do love portraying people in fashion show backstages
waiting for the right moment and focusing on the right light, so
that I can capture and freeze their authentic expressions and
moods; I look for a genuine behaviour right in the middle of a
world that asks the opposite.
