Melancholy Emotography

An Emotionally Drained Series of Photography by Eric Guillemain

Eric Guillemain shoots a less-than-enthusiastic Nanou Vandecruys for this series entitled 'A Silence of Her Own.' The photographs are as emo as their title, with Nanou Vandecruys wearing an exhausted expression on her face as she looms around lifelessly.

The shoot also boasts mood lighting, with Eric Guillemain ensuring dark gloominess to match monochromatic clothing and minimal makeup. Although depressing, Eric Gillemain does a wonderful job at combining fabulousness and dreariness, making for a hauntingly beautiful series.
