Watching an episode from the 'Next Top Model' franchise shows just how hard it is to pose expressively for a camera, yet model Anthi Paraskevaidou does it with ease in the photo series titled 'When Darkness Lit.' She even takes it up a notch, giving each stance and pucker a taste of the theatrical.
Shot by Fenia Labropoulou, the dramatic touch to When Darkness Lit really adds a decadence to the fashion showcased. Created by Greek up-and-coming designer Irene Lytra-Routzerakh, the looks are as powerful and melodramatic as the model herself.
Set on a black backdrop with strategic bits of light beaming down, When Darkness Lit is both fierce and soft, just like the featured products.
