Anastasia is an opera singer who had long dreamed of a feminine and light photo session among blooming trees.
To create a special atmosphere, we chose Parc de Sceaux—one of the most romantic parks in the suburbs of Paris, famous for its cherry blossom alleys. The photoshoot lasted about three hours, including shots in the magical light of the setting sun and after sunset. The evening light and approaching twilight brought depth to the photos, making the images even more atmospheric—gentle, a little fairytale-like, and slightly mysterious.
Aesthetics of the Pre-Raphaelites
This photoshoot was inspired by the art of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood—an artistic movement where symbolism, references to myths and legends, and attention to the details of nature were highly valued. In Pre-Raphaelite portraits, as seen in the works of Dante Gabriel Rossetti or John William Waterhouse, female images are surrounded by inner poetry and a subtle sense of mystery, filled with gentle softness and carefully composed floral motifs.
In Anastasia’s photographs, this aesthetic stands out especially clearly: her soft facial features, thoughtful gaze, and flowing lines gracefully intertwined with blossoming sakura branches create an image reminiscent of heroines from Victorian paintings. The pastel color palette, natural light, and careful attention to detail help convey that special mood where outward beauty harmonizes with the depth of the inner world. Each frame has its own character—slightly out of time, as if from another world.
A Sense of Timelessness
As a result of the photoshoot, we created images where the heroine appears as if from another era—gentle, mysterious, existing beyond time and the ordinary rush of life.
This series is not just a collection of stylish portraits, but a visual story where modernity meets the artistic traditions of the Pre-Raphaelites, and every detail plays a role in crafting a unified poetic image.
A Photoshoot as Transformation
Spring sessions among blooming trees are more than just photographs. They are not only beautiful images, but also an invitation to inner transformation. It is a chance to see yourself in a new way, to find harmony, feel inspired, and give yourself the sense of a fresh beginning. This experience helps you open up and reminds you of your own uniqueness.
As a Bonus
I also created a photo for Anastasia’s concert poster, as well as a new profile picture.
