Morganistik says: another fashion week is just over in Paris and after shooting the menswear and couture collections, a friend asked me: aren’t you distracted by seeing so many beautiful models?
As fashion week photographers, we see walking the most beautiful creatures on earth in front of us. But beauty is a subjective concept. And extreme beauty in the fashion world is the standard. So at some point it becomes our normality.
And sometimes something magic happens, like a few days ago when I was sitting in the photographer’s pit, watching the rehearsals of Yiqing Yin couture Spring Summer 2012. The venue was empty, the music starts, and this beauty appears: Russian model Svetlana Mukhina… Round doll face and concentrated face expression, her hair mixing perfectly with the dress, looking almost like a religious icon, it was one of those “wow” moments that made me really happy to be a runway photographer.
