Distorted Vintage Portraits

The Gala 'So Schoen Wie Gemalt' Editorial is Elegantly Ladylike

— November 17, 2012 — Fashion
As though shot in another time period, the Gala 'So Schoen Wie Gemalt' editorial has a vintage vibe that extends beyond the style of the captures. Using some kind of photographic technique that tastefully distorts the images, the photographer manages to make the viewer feel as though they are looking in a mirror that reflects not themselves, but a lady from the past.

Shot by Elizaveta Porodina, a freelance photographer based in Munich, Germany, the Gala 'So Schoen Wie Gemalt' editorial stars model Josephine. Stunning in outfits fit for famous Mexican Painter Frida Kahlo, the elegant and ladylike ensembles were put together by stylist Yilmaz Aktepe. The looks were complemented with sculptural updos embellished with florals as well as rosy cheeks by beauty artist Marko Hülsebus.
