Inspired by iconic French singer Edith Piaf and her outstanding voice and passion, Marcin Biedron from A12 Team photo agency has created a rather melancholy, mysterious photo story. Thea Zmijewska from models agency Louisa Models Munich & Hamburg stars in the shoot, channeling her inner Piaf.

Rocking a modest [little black dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat) styled by Beata Fryz from Garderoba 7, short, curly hair and [minimal makeup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity), the model wears a very [retro style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry). Perhaps one of the more noteworthy aspects of the shoot as well is its setting. Though makeup and styling definitely does convey the somber mood of the shoot effectively, a dark, dingy, smokey background adds clarity to the tone of the series that is much welcomed.
