Inspired by legendary photographers Helmut Newton and Ellen Von Unwerth, this Tawan Conchonnet shoot entitled 'Smoulder' is a tribute to their style of fashion photography.
Painting an old world gone of silver screen siren and smoky boudoirs, where sensuality isn't raw, but of much darker mystery, Smoulder aims to seduce the viewer into the sensually glamorous world of femme fatales and divas of yesteryears.
Natalia Urbanova (Mannequin Studios) stars in this editorial as the dark mysterious vixen. Her piercing gaze frames each shot by Tawan Conchonnet, with styling by Geraldine Lim and make up by Hana Leong (Make Up Forever).
Shot at Dom Lounge, a Russian boudoir-styled club, this editorial is the embodiment of decadence and debauchery. The outfits and make up were selectively styled to achieve the look of a classy, but ultra-sexy vibe.
