In a fusion of urban starkness and ethereal beauty, "Lost in a Concrete Jungle," unveils the captivating tale of a forest ballerina ensnared within the confines of a cold concrete staircase. Against the harsh lines of modern architecture, she stands as a poignant symbol of delicate grace amidst rigidity.
Shadows intertwine with pockets of soft illumination, creating a captivating interplay of light and dark. Here, hidden away in the darkness, flowers blooms, resilient against their environment.
Adding this touch of botanical enchantment to the scene, Theresa Potgieter from Bédinkt lends her artistic flair with exquisite flower arrangements. Cally Palmer styled the ballerina in beautiful shades of black and blue, and Merle Titus added the final dark touches with her hair and makeup. Clive Myburgh captured the scenes in his signature dramatic and moody style.
Through this ghostly and evocative shoot, the shoot invite viewers to contemplate the delicate balance between nature and urbanity, softness and rigidity. In the midst of concrete jungles, may we find moments of enchantment and beauty, where the spirit of the forest dances defiantly amidst the shadows.
