Swedish fashion photographer Magnus Osterhult has shot a series of photographs of model Besa Sand. The photographs capture languid, almost listless expressions peeling away from Besa Sand like slivers of smoke from a candle. In fact, a hazy quality pervades the entire series. This comes from the way the furniture -- mostly white -- camouflages with sunlight that filters lazily through the window.
Still, the setting is not the focus of the series. Magnus Osterhult places his lens primarily on Besa Sand who strikes poses so natural one could be forgiven if they thought she was actually sleeping. In most of the photographs she is scantily clad, but Magnus Osterhult manages to portray this in such a way that the series is sultry rather than gaudy.
