Whispers of a Muse
by anna.p
Shot in the same signature style as yesterday’s story, Marina Serbul portrayed by Ionut Staicu is certainly another visually ravishing story to start on good tracks. Black and white reminiscences of a summer afternoon, literally memories in pictures, this collaboration between the photographer and who we could already call one of his muses is suggesting an atmosphere rather than drowning the main character under an overload of useless effects like we see too often in contemporary fashion photography. Here, everything is in the intensity of a gaze, the position of a hand, the delicate movement of the neck. Too many pictures or stories nowaday aim to scream fashion from page one till the end. It makes nothing as remarkable and precious than the too rare minimalist ones like Staicu’s portraits of Marina that whisper high class in the most subtle manner.
