These colorful fashion photographs have a character that establishes itself dominantly in the eyes of the audience. In black-and-white one can easily assess evoked emotions in a composition, with subdued color palettes the added quality gives another layer of meaning but with vibrantly infused photoshoots like this one by Elena Iv-skaya, the entire presentation expands. That is, the focus is distributed between the relationship of subject and environment, that of shape and gesture, and finally, between the individual contrast-inducing nuances.
Elena Iv-skaya's colorful fashion photographs are created for an editorial in Lucy's Magazine. Dubbed 'BoKaap,' the feature definitely emphases and communicates the vibrant character of the Bo-Kaap area in Cape Town through a distinctly fashion-forward lens.
