Although the fashion is more modern than retro, the sepia finish used for each image in the Sing Me Lonely photo series makes it appear as though it is a vintage set of photographs. Model Shindy B. Oktania even channels her inner '60s housewife in the somber photoshoot. Staring sadly into the lens, she really looks like she is imploring someone to sing her a lonely song.
The Sing Me Lonely photo series was shot by Renggana Ramadhan, a photographer based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Subtly exotic, there is nevertheless a suspension of time and place in the photoshoot, as though it could have happened anywhere at anytime. This is due in large part to the styling and beauty courtesy of Galuh Anindita.
