Polina and nature: the title says it all

_{Posted in Fashion / Fashion blog / Fashion photo shoots / Fashion pictures}

Such a title as Polina and Nature is so amazingly uncomplicated that one could almost feel compelled to try and read deeper meaning – meaning that probably isn’t there – into Serge-Edouard’s shoot. But what it actually says is that this is not so much a fashion shoot as a man plying his craft. It’s an art title, describing exactly what the artwork is, in the way that Rembrandt’s Philosopher in Meditation or Galizia’s Apples in a dish describe their respective works, or the way Madonna and Child titles a thousand paintings of the Madonna and Child. It may not be alike those particular pieces but the point is this: what you see is the artist presenting their artwork. And what you see, is what you get.

As such there’s no complex credit list of styling team, hair and makeup: it’s Serge-Edouard and Polina… And nature.
