The Vogue Germany Kolfinna Kristofersdottir takes on a peculiar, rippled look. The distorted photography captures model Kolfinna Kristofersdottir in a range of twisted looks of bold colors, metallic textures and glimmering shimmers.
The stretched and rippled quality of the photos adds a careless, badass vibe to the fashion photography for the May 2012 edition of Vogue Germany. Blurring the photos actually added a carefree feeling that lends the editorial an extra high-fashion appeal. The bizarreness of the shoot and the contortions of the model and disfigurations of the clothing are a fantastic way to add intrigue into a shoot against a plain black backdrop.
Doubling the model in some of the photos, it becomes unclear where one ends and the other begins, which adds some mystery to the fashion and the photoshoot as a whole.
