There has been a recent shift in the ever popular military theme that the fashion industry often likes to embrace; photographer Nicolai Alexander Rudnicki provides a great example with his 'serie 1.1' portfolio on Behance. Although a more sensual take, he sidesteps towards a more soldier-like aesthetic that brings to mind a long past era of war rather than the modern military events that are happening today.
Based in Aarhus, Denmark, Nicolai Alexander Rudnicki's serie 1.1 photo portfolio blends in a risque element that is mostly associated with fetish fashion. Considering that is also a huge fad right now, it is not surprising that he incorporated those looks. Or, it should be pointed out, that stylist Ghazal Samii decided to outfit model Anna Cathrine in these commanding outfits.
