In this series, photographer Andre Wiredja trains his lens on model Raline Shah wandering about taxidermy exhibits in a museum wearing clothing designed by stylist Aldi Indrajaya and makeup by Fransika Effendi.
The first photograph in the series depicts Shah nuzzling up to a polar bear. In the second frame, she peers out coyly from behind a magnifying glass at the viewer. In the third, she is shown stepping gingerly around a collection of birds. The final pictures simply focus on the model and her clothing.
Aldi Indrajaya has done an excellent job of creating outfits that manage to be casual and even bookish while still allowing their wearer to indulge in some quirky, carefree behavior like that of Raline Shah.
