Glaring Crimson Captures

Yulia Gorbachenko's 'Smokey Red' Series is Intensely Fiery

Photographer Yulia Gorbachenko's 'Smokey Red' photo series pretty much pops right off of the page. A deep blood-red backdrop overtakes almost the entire shoot, blending in with the stunning siren's cropped crimson coif and creating a glaring glow around her sharp features.

The Smokey Red photo series showcases Gorbachenko's signature style in a different way. Known for using vibrant colors and long exposures to create blurry, light-filled images, she works with a more focused frame this time around, as well as closer shots for a captivating portrait portfolio.

The Smokey Red photo series features theatrical makeup by Anastasia Durasova, fiery red locks by Eric Williams and fantastic retouching by Gabriele Monte. It stars the beautiful model Gisela Calitz from Muse Model Management.
